the suspension consist of a 10% stiffer rear spring, new shock valving, and a .55" larger front stabilizer, Lingenfelter uses the Z06 suspension because it rides jsut like a regular C5 with the extra performance, but theres definitly room for improvement, GM itself offers the T1 pckage which is rough as hell, but its a big improvement.

Well that is probably erong. The Bugatti Veryon offers a more compact W16 engine- with top of te line technology- the Sixteen is two Gen III's bolted tgether with a bigger crankshaft

The Sixteen has the option of running on 4,6,8.....cylendars if wanted to suit the driving needs. BTW nobody should be putting this car down because we don't know for sure what it is capable of doing. I do bet that it will supprise some. Even you Jimster.

VW was first to use its designe because they were the only ones who thought it was a good idea, they still are.
id hate ta tell ya this but stock is what was being talked about since day one ya idiot and id bet you any day my vr6 with the 6spd gear box could out torque and out power your over weighted american pos.

And another thing about the 16 when driven in motortrend the majior complaint was the shitty suspension! It couldnt handle a turno over 15 being its best turning radius is at slow speeds with the 4 wheel turning!

You need to realize that the car Motor Trend drove (if you can call it that) is just a concept car. Many concept cars are just for looks and haven't been engineered for real-world driving.

Yep, even though it was cool looking, it was another worthless attempt at something special from Michigan. GM, Ford, all the american car companies need to stop wasting money on these frivilous concept cars. Instead spend more money developing a well built car instead of having everything made of cheap plastic.

Did anyone ever really think it'd be made? I can't say I did, hoped yes, but at this point they need to work on the new STS and the tier above it, as well as V versions for both. The Sixteens a good way to get attention, maybe one day it'll be built in some form, but I still think the Cien needs to be put out before that int he ford GT range.
