I've never cared much about the Corvette, but I will say this is my favorite one, in terms of looks. I don't want one. But I can appreciate it.

I like the new look but anything over 500 HP starts to get redundant...500-600-700 all the same to me lol. (In the sense that a regular corvette is more attractive to me than the zo6 and zr1)

I thought he was saying he'd take it in any color, considering the posts above his.

No, I was saying that I don't care how many numbers it has, it's still a Corvette. Thus, I don't care about it.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I'm guessing you are. It is not anywhere close to one of the best cars in the world.

And thanks to such "automotive racisme" in Europe we don't get American and Japanese cars (Ford Raptor F150 and Toyota Supra for example), Americans don't get European cars (BMW M3 CSL for example).

No. The rumor said it was going to be 635HP. They beat that. Links are all over the internet. The one from above was The Detroit Free Press. Here is Motortrend: http://wot.motortrend.com/1406_2015_...of_torque.html

How many of these will be wrecked within a week of their release that is the real topic that should be brought up with this much power.

I'm looking forward to it, so I can drop an engine into my BRZ. You think the trans and diff can handle it?
