Hopefully they will offer a Z06 or something with mo powa!
Under $60k sounds appealing but to me it looks more like a super car instead of a Corvette. I bet the mid engine change sure helped performance. Working on it should be really fun though.

....like when the lead engineer from GM said, "You can't see it, but the transmission is under here!!

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

You're just upset because it has spark plugs! Originally Posted by 40FordDeluxe

I don't get the punchline unless it's a diesel reference..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I imagine everything but very basic stuff will require dropping the engine/trans out the bottom. Wouldn't surprise me if everything was mounted on a sub frame for that purpose. Originally Posted by 40FordDeluxe

It looks pretty awesome to me , but has a pretty low HP number considering that Dodge is cranking 800 on the Hellcat. Can you imaging that kind of horsepower that you can hook to the ground?
I suspect that it will steadily increase to keep attracting new sales.

Saw a headline on the news feed last night that nearly the whole scheduled production run for the first year is sold out. Now, many, if not most, are purchased by dealers who will probably side sticker the daylights out of them, but...………….……………………..Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

This is exactly what I was thinking. It doesn't sound like a Z06 or Z51 will be here for a couple of years. It looks like the 495hp is the only hp level currently. It does mimic a Lambo with the roof off. Originally Posted by 53 Chevy5
