Revo...first I have to ask...where have you been? This car has been unveiled for a month a few weeks and now you decide to bitch about it?? lol sorry.

2nd...you can bet the final Stingray power levels will be beyond 450, but not by much. Thinking 460 - 480 tops.

Next, have you seen the TQ curve of the LT1 versus the Ls3? It kills it.

Next, this car will likely run with or very near to ZL1 numbers at the strip, and if the ZL1 is at all running in warm or hot temps then forget about it...this Vette will take it. ZL1 0 - 60 is what...3.9 seconds??? This car runs under 4 seconds as well, with a 100HP deficit.

You can say all you want about the design...thats your opinion. But I don't understand why people are bitching about the power numbers when 1) we don't know them forsure yet. 2) we don't know how fast this car is...just that I'm sure its faster than the C6. 3) this is the base Stingray and there will be even faster performance levels. 4) this car will decimate everything else on the road that is less than 2 or 3 times its price level. 5) your absolutely dreaming if you think the current 426HP Camaro would run remotely close to the straight line performance numbers of this car.

Just drop it. Why in the world should a base Vette need 500+ HP before people feel it is acceptable? The current Z06 has that and it is an ass raping machine which costs 100K.
