I streamed the presentation on my big screen TV, and that is one exotic looking 'droolworthy' new car. Juechter said the base car will do 60 in under 3 seconds, and is coming in at 495 hp. Interior styling is pretty wild and I love that Ferrari style clear engine cover out back. The car will continue to have a removable roof panel and much more sophisticated electronics. It even has a front axle lift system that is coupled to GPS, so it will 'remember' when to raise the front once you program it. GM execs said the base car will come in at under 60k. Perhaps I will have to reconsider that SL <ggg>.

HI Kirk, I bet you can't find a $60,000 corvette - easier finding a needle in the haystack. <smile> Electronic double clutch transmission faster than any human. I own a 54 corvette with a powerglide. Always said a Corvette had a clutch and a convertible top. Times evolve. This is the first new vette I've ever considered buying since I bought a new one in 1980 - before ECM's took over. I've also owned two mid engine Lotus Europa's and the mid engine is the main draw for a new look in my way of thinking. I'll wait and see for future horsepower increases. If they do that in the next year - shame on them. That will kill the resale on the first year - much like they did in 1984 with vette and the first year of the SSR. A company should not do that to their most loyal owner base. I like that the Z51 is available for the first year. I like the front end lift with GPS memory for 1000 road/speed bumps. Back tail lights look good too. The mid engine is the best upgrade ever! I like the red - retail red- duh. Thanks for the link ! Bob
