Video of it hitting 205 with 2 people and all the testing equipment. It hauls for sure.

It's definitely going to be one of those cars that draws the big bucks in 20 years at Barrett-Jackson.

If anything like the Ford GT and the Shelby GT500, it'll be much sooner since this will add to the "gotta-have-it" hype.

I am glad to see it, I still don't want a Corvette, but to see an American car lay waste to the Jap and Euro stuff makes me happy!

I had the chance to sit in one yesterday. Eventhough the interior s essentially that same in my 08, it still felt like an entirely different car.
