ummm....did you forget about the ZR-1?
The ZR-1 is already a done deal...

The new CAFE regulations have Chevrolet engineers thinking more about an environmentally friendly Corvette than a 700 horsepower one. "What's going to be more important is fuel economy, carbon footprint and green," Tom Wallace, vehicle line executive for the Corvette, told Automotive News. "We have already paid a lot of attention to those areas. Where we can pay more attention is pounds per horsepower."

Wallace added: "I don't think we're going to design a 700 horsepower Corvette."

Its the beginning of the end my friend. The ZR-1 will be the last high-powered Corvette.

I actually read that as a good thing...notice they used the key words pounds per horsepower....that means the corvette is going to scale down in weight and be a much more tossable worthy upgrade to the S2000, and not so much the highway crusher it is now....

Green is good...it promotes foreward thinking towards efficiency
