Its not hard to see where the majority will fall. Where the majority goes the money and the companies will follow.

Im just saying everyone needs to look at the whole picture not just my car sounds better than yours.
I disagree with your assesment, The C7 Vette is expected to go on a significant Diet (I will Guess about 300lbs, The GS wieghs 3350lbs). In combination with a Gen V V8, it would not surprise me if the C7 Vette hits 30mpg hwy. Also a 425hp TT 3.6 v6 would be on par with the performance of the current LS3. If displacement Stays the same for the C7, a 6.2 D.I. V8 could be around 500hp.
