Awesome. That car is just crying out for some polished HRE's or CCW's though.

I would hope that particular car would end up in a museum of some sort.

It may stay at GM, but I doubt a production car will make it into a museum, at least not for 30 or so years, and it'll be an automotive specific museum like in Gatlinburg.

Very nice. A little above my means right now at a projected 75k, but compared to some of the other "super cars", still reasonably priced. If someone want's to buy me one I'd be very grateful, very grateful indeed. :D

Got to love this....

"The new ZO6's sub four-second 0-60 mph time is achieved in part by the extended rpm range and the ability to remain in first gear past 60 mph. The over-190 top speed of the ZO6 is partially due to the speed capability of the engine. As aerodynamic drag becomes a factor at higher speeds, the capability to run higher rpm allows the transmission to be run in a lower gear generating more effective torque at the rear wheels. Also, having the ability to shift all gears at higher speeds improves elapsed times whether on a road course or drag strip."

Slicks would be my first mod. Then a cage because Id probably get sick of being kicked out of racetracks for running high 10's to low 11's. Either that or I could just go to Valdosta where they just dont give a crap.
