Daytime pics to come.
Guys, this car is the REAL deal. I have a lot of seat time in C6 Z06, C5 Z06, '06 Viper Coupe, my two Vettes, S2000, Gallardo, etc. The handling on this car is INCREDIBLE. The suspension is stiff, but compliant. The shocks from road imperfections are not abrupt. The P Zero Corsa tires are utterly amazing.
We all know about the 6.2L (yes, it says 6.3, but I know better) 500+hp motor. The exhaust sounds awesome, the interior is carbon fiber, no back seats, just curved parcel shelf area.
The only slightly disappointing part of the car is the 7-speed tranny. This car would be a 10 out of a 10 with a solid manual transmission. Either way, it has big paddle shifters on the steering wheel and still shifts nicely.
Anyway, I was much more impressed with this car than I expected, specifically with the handling. The braking and acceleration are obviously excellent, but the handling is really amazing. It has the turn-in of the S2000. You turn the steering wheel and it just goes.
