The rear brake scoop still looks a bit awkward. It doesn't really flow with the lines of the car....kinda looks like an afterthought.

On another forum the rumored numbers are 500 hp/500 tq. There's even talk of sub-3000 lbs with the aluminum frame rails and other lightweight goodies.

sheesh... 275 front tires... the rears must be 315 or 335 or something...

That has got to be one of the best looking/best all-around american cars I have ever seen...

Love the brakes too.

autoweek says 3.5 0-60
at least 500HP 475lb/ft probably 500lb/ft and over 500HP
weight is still undetermined, but will be under 3200lbs for sure and may be closer to 2900lbs. That would put it's 1/4 trap speed at around 125-128

I would have liked a bit more to differentiate it from the base Vette, but I'm sure it will be a monster, those brakes are sex
