I'm not saying the stats on this car aren't impressive. I'm not saying it won't perform well. I'm not saying it won't sell well. I'm saying, in my opinion, this car doesn't deserve the Z06 badge. They took all that made the Z06 an awesome car and tossed it out the window.

Clearly, I'm part of a dying minority. People today are more concerned with what gadgets are in the car but I'm not. I guess I'll have to stick with older cars while GM moves away from building cars for people like me.
Unfortunately even the Viper is rumored to go with a supercharger.

To make the stupid power that buyers want - forced induction is required.

The LS7 imo was the best of the LS family. But the new laws looming with what the market wants has kind of forced everyones hand. The high strung high hp motors will be race only from here on out.
