I guess an auto trans was only a matter of time. Going to be quite a ride!

this car needs a DCT. i wont want in a torque converted auto. its more than the fast shifts. a DCT would feel rougher, less numb etc.
but end of the day i would just grab a manual. |

The Big Nasty: my favorite part of the reval also.
Intended or not, his statement brought to mind the Detroit Piston Bad Boys featuring Lambeer and Mahorn as McNasty and McFilthy. The Z06 with the Z07 option: World Supercar! Laborsmith |

Haven't seen a weight listed. Will it be heavier than the ZR1 or lighter?

It did not say anything about the front. It said the rear is unique.
