0-60 times aren't the sole basis for insurance rates. If they were, my MS6's rates would have been on par with STi and Evo rates, but they were in fact significantly lower (like lower than my Civic even). I think vehicle safety and intended target audience do play a major role though.
The R/T chop looks good. I do really hope they keep the weight at no more than 2800lbs though. Even that is pushing it, if they are intending to really build the sportscar they've been promising, if they want to keep the power that low.
