It does nothing for me. Its probably fun, but my local roads are so plugged up, it is rare I get to use all the power my torqueless S2000 gives me.

I am a believer that there is fast enough, but I realize I am in the the minority here. I also don't have a race track nearby so it just street driving for me.

But once the cash get up above $100k, I take a slower Porsche for sex appeal and style than the Chevy, no matter how much it would stomp the Porsche in the quarter.

Oh, it's doable - I just don't think they can do it for the price increase mentioned.

You start adding CF body panels and your cost skyrockets. CF driveshaft is VERY doable - I hadn't thought of that - and it'd save quite a few pounds. A fully electric brake system isn't going to go on a streetable race car, I don't think, and it's necessarily too different to add to the car. That's something you'll want to spread cost over a number of models, a la Mercedes Benz.

They went pretty extreme to knock of their current weight savings. To go much further is going to take some VERY extreme measures that I personally don't feel will be cost effective at their level.

From GM's perspective, I think that would be called a Cadillac.
