Either way I would expect the v6 with aftermarket to make more than enough power.

Yeah for the class they want to run in its a limit of 4.0 liters for turbo charged engines in GTLM.

I like the way you think!

Yeah Ford has gotten the Detroit show, and this is the first day!

The only thing Chevy can do at this point to strike hard is to roll the mid engine Corvette test mule upon a stage


and then take off all the bodywork exposing the frame and the engine layout and say "it's coming". That would be awesome!

But seems like they are saving the Camaro and other big unveils for the other shows.

I wish! Given all the goodies (CF cockpit, CF wheels, adaptive areo, etc...) I don't seeing this thing having a MSRP of much less than $200K (if that) and you won't be able to buy one for MSRP. Way out of my league.

They will probably sell number 1 at Barrett-Jackson, how much do you think it will go for? I predict $1.5million.

I would kill my daughter's boyfriend for a yellow one.....even the Matchbox version.

That sounds about right. End the end, it all depends on what the announce as their production targets. If it is very low then the first one could go for a record amount.

I don't think you should have said that, now what if he turns up dead?
Guess I have been watching too much Alfred Hitchcock on Netflicks lately..Things like that tend to happen on that show.

Oh trust me, I know the whole GT40 story. But now when people think of buying an American sports car, they'll think of the GT, Viper and Corvette.

Wow, it sounds phenomenal. If it starts under $200k I'm ordering one in that blue, I'm already sold. Holy crapola.
