I like the new Vette. But I saw the test mules in person, in San Diego. After the final tuning is done, they should be ~460hp/460tq. But HP isn't whats special about this Corvette. The 100% aluminum frame, lowest center of gravity on any car under $200,000, 70% more rigid than the C6 Z06 (It will handle), a luxurious interior, all sorts of electronic goodies, 0-60 under 4 seconds, 50/50 weight distribution (WHAT?!), estimated 3,000lb target weight (that's 1,000 lbs lighter than your 400hp l99 Camaro), the most carbon fiber on a car from the factory under six figures, a highly tunable DI V8 that will respond fantastically to bolt-ons, estimated 26 combined mpg, and a torque curve reminiscent of an LS7? *out of breath*
I really like the new Vette. But that's just me I guess...
