Nice, i like, God Bless America and V8's, a lot of performance and muscle for ~$50k?
Wonder if they have engineered it for RHD this time?
Anyway, at least the engine/powertrain will find its way to Australia for our HSV models some time in the future

Not sure it will monster a Nissan GTR, let the battle begin
"Lifes about, shooting your load"
This is the base car. As I recall the current ZO6 will "monster" a GTR on many tracks so I'm not overly concerned about it.
The interesting thing is all Vettes will have an aluminum spaceframe now, saving 99 pounds over the previous model. Nice as it's already a pretty light car.
Was just reading that this new engine puts out the same torque as the 7 liter in the ZO6 from 1000 to 4000 RPM. In other words 400 ft/lbs of torque at 2000 RPM and climbing.
I love me some torque...
And, while I kinda like the 7 speed manual, they really do need to get a DCT in it as an option at least as they really help the track times.
