Just got the new Car and Driver, ragtop muscle cars were the segment. Had to have 2 seats, a vert and be from 45-65k. The contestants were the 2005 SRT-6 Roadster,2005 Boxter S, 2005 Chevy Corvette Convert. , And the slk350. The SRT-6 Ran a 13.4@106,0-60 4.8. Pulled over .9g's and was one of the best stoppers. However CandD said the ride was so bad, and amongst other things , including the time confinemnts and the auto only, the Srt-6 placed last by a gap of a huge 36 pts. They say the car just feels dated and old. The SRT-6 posted the worst lap time 1:20.36 , even worse than the slk350's 1:18.90

They loved the slk350, they dubbed it the "best" handling mercedes benz ever. But it only placed 3rd. Still ran a 13.9 and held some impressive numbers. 2nd place went to the vette which ran the fastest lap time of 1:16.34. and ran a 1/4mi in 12.8@112. But 1st place went to the Boxter S. Running a 1:17.87 lap time pulling the most G's, and being the best braker and all around car. I have to say I agree with them. Despite having over 50hp less than the SRT-6 it beat it in the road course and only lost in the 1/4 by 2 tenths.

Just some useless info.
