It's been said around the net that there will be Z06 and ZR1 variants. And you know everything you read on the internet is true, and reliable...

Corvette Racing seems to be doing a good job of carrying the Stars & Stripes pretty well over the past 12 years or so.
Absolutely! And with Viper's hands tied by their Italian bosses, this is a golden opportunity for Chevy to make a bid for sports car supremacy! If for no other reason, than to draw attention and recognition to Chevy and GM. That will make a business case, as a halo sales draw.

You're right, top speed is almost worthless, except as a bragging right. Carrol Shelby said what a guy needs is not top speed, but a car that gets up to 100 quick, and back down just as fast. I use my 585/590 rwhp/tq well under 100, or even just from 0-60. Someone is always trying to beat me, in various cars that they think are fast. I enjoy the competition!

Yep, it's illegal, immoral, life-shortening, dangerous, idiotic, irresponsible, yet, somehow, speed is addictive and fun. You can't deny power is pure fun, right?

I'm actually pretty self-controlled most of the time, and don't give F150s and Mitsubishi Eclipses the races they seem to want. Just the cars that have a chance. And never in traffic.
