Second, mid engine cars, all other things being equal, are better balanced than front or rear engined cars. Balance is key for cornering, and traction out of the corner. Sure there's going to be some weight transfer with every design, but mid-engine is best overall. Think Ferrari, Lambo, and every other ultra-high-end sports-car.

Third, the issue of torque. 460 pound/feet of torque is not "low torque." 670 horsepower, on the other hand, is high horsepower. The flat-plane-crank style of engine revs very quickly. it will be very easy to keep the RPMs up in the sweet spot to maximize acceleration. If it feels soft coming out of the corner, squeeze the left paddle twice, and in one millisecond you'll rocket out of the corner. I think it's funny that a couple of the guys complaining about torque are the same ones saying they'd rather have a Porsche GT3. News Flash: less torque!

Finally, ADM. I just ordered a new ZO6 yesterday with a $1000 non-refundable deposit. My little, local dealership sells 5-6 Corvettes a month, with no ADM. My ZO6 will not have a ADM. Not all dealerships charge ADM.

The new ZO6 is a world-class sports-car. And it's a Chevy, just like our beloved ZL1s. My problem will be whether I trade the ZL1 in, or try to waggle keeping both. Great job Chevy!

Would love to know where ya ordered with no ADM. Nice deal! I think most will be dealing with ADM though unfortunately.
