yea, it great. But...being that this is the most expensive Corvette in history, and being that the Z06 was $90K plus when it came out, this will probably be just another car that is priced so high that the only people who will be able to afford it will be the same ppl who never drive it (think Z06 on 295 doing 65 Mph). It is a waste, like the Lambo's and ect. I mean i wouldn't be shocked it is were upwards of $150K, thus making it out of reach of the exact people who will drive the damn thing.

o well, makes great eye candy tho

I know it is a prototype model but they used the "cheap" steering wheel in the car. Looks cool though, I wonder if LS9 swaps are played out yet.....

Z06 started at 68k, loaded was 72k. 90k?
ZR1's price is expected to be around 100k.

Pretty much every rumor about the car turned out to be true, outside of a DSG type trans. Magnaride shocks, supercharged 6.2 making over 600hp, and lots and lots of carbon fiber along with ceramic brakes.

I guess I gotta change my sig...

The car looks really nice. Im not digging the transparent hood though. Other than that it looks great. Hopefully GM wont do what Ford did with the shelbys and make 7000 a year, call them rare, and demand 10-15k over MSRP, like the GTs too.

this car is amazing. I wonder when they'll have to stop making more power. What I mean is when the government steps in and says "no, this car has too much power for the street"
