Haha nice. The picture of the interior on the left side of the car kind of looks like it came out of a mid 90's Corvette though.

Nice, what a beast the corvette is. Thats why I love the corvette, there is no weak version of it. The weakest version has 400HP, not like a Cobra mustang, Gt mustang and a V6............ Can't wait to see it in production.

A minimum of $100,000 for that Corvette... she's going to be one spicey meatball. But still, considering the performance to dollar ratio it's still leaps and bonds ahead of anything the other US automakers, Germans, Italians, Japanese and British can dish out...
The new Viper will be a beast as well, but it's already got traction issues in it's current configuration so adding 100hp to it won't help make it any faster in my opinion.
That's the problem with this Corvette SS and the new Viper, they're at the limits of of what's possible now with suspension and tire packages at their current power levels. Adding power sounds like an easy way to go faster, but... I sure as hell hope they address how to get it to the ground properly.
Then again... I'm a fan of tire smoke so I'm not entirely unhappy about the idea.

Supposedly the guy that took the pics got fired and was arrested for spying the car!
Car looks sick!
cant wait to see the final version. Oh and they did mention the Z06 body is just a mule so the actual production version will look different.

That pretty bad when you can spot rust on a vette.
