Manual 6.4, Auto 6.8 are the typical numbers. 60-0 is listed at around 135 feet but I find that hard to believe. Must have been in a base model with crap tires because a T5 with Pirelli P6s on 17" rims will stop WAAAAY shorter. Were talking S80 sized brakes on a car that weighs 400 lbs less!! I thought I was going to leave my lungs on the dash when I performed a full on emergency stop the first time.

While people in the U.S. do shop the "deal" as you put it, I believe there is equal concern given to both looks AND performance. Think about it. How many Vette enthusiasts do you know of in Europe?? Camaro, Firebird, Viper, etc, etc, ad nauseum.
