You could have just stopped at "I have my Terminator"

They were claiming it was faster then the Boss 302 around the track, so unless the track has pot holes at every corner, it should also make more power to offset the weight. I'm gonna guess at least 450hp on the S550.
I've been saying since they said it was going to lose 200 pounds that no way in hell that will happen. I was even more sure when they said wheelbase will stay the same. Unless they threw a ton of lightweight material at it and priced it as much as the new M4/M3, no chance of it being lighter then the S197. If it's gonna be that heavy, I would rather have a small block under the hood, as long as Chevy fixes the visibility and my head hitting the roof over bumps in the Camaro.
