We pay, too, though not as much

I guess if you just want to say you have 750HP and willing to spend the money to say it,then so be it.

To make one of these cars really work with this kind of power the car is going to be over 100grand. You can't have things both ways.
That's exactly how I've been trying to justify it.

I nominate this as post of the day and offer you my humblest KUDOS!

Your sig alone tells the story. ZL1 is going after the GT500.
GT500 will have 620hp, what is GM to do?

That is several months old, as far as we know. Besides - who's to say that they are testing there? They can have different cars to test different things. That car might be testing the suspension dynamics or something I can't even fathom. Additionally - we have less information about the GT500 as we do ZL1. Nothing's been confirmed for the GT500, and we have nothing confirmed from GM in terms of power. And, again, it's not only about the power.
