then we got all the srt8's, and the incoming (supposedly) camaro and challenger....
i think the US is going absolutely bananas, diving into the performance car market like crazy. and so far i think they're doing pretty darn well. i can't believe someone can just put simple bolt-on's on a 50k car (shelby gt500) and have a car that's as fast or faster than the c6z, which is already a beast.
put the blue devil into the picture.....wow.
and did i mention how damn sexy the shelby gt500 looks!!!

I don't want to go off topic, and to a large extent you are right. Then again look what the fuel crisis in the 70s did to big gas guzzeling barges. Challenge Stradale = worth it. SRT-8 Charger? Not so sure....

This has next gen NSX all over it.
I will believe it when I see it because Ive been hearing about it for a year.
Besides, arnt people putting out 60 or 80 more HP by making some small adjustments anyways?
If they'd come out with a C6R replica (even if its just a C6Z06 with the body goodies), Id be game.

one good thing that'll comes out of this is that the Z06 price will drop since there will be less of a demand.
, There may be hope left for me getting a Z06 afterall. One can only hope..

I hope wallace is listening...
Notchback please
Before anyone mentions it, I know that the notchback isn't good aerodynamically speaking, but it looks way better. Let's face is 90% of the buyers for this car aren't going to track it. They just want a badass looking car with high power, and low production.
