It will get compared to the GT350 as it's performance will be so far past the GT performance pack, that the GT350 will be it's best competition numbers wise. I can see this car beating a base GT350, and giving a GT350 performance pack a real headache for what I bet will be about 15 grand less...


As for my SS/1LE gripes...

1-Price, but we don't know for sure yet. I know it won't be $3500 again, too much content. But it really needs to stay at about $5000. That is what the Z51 option on the C7 is...

2-MRC, NPP and the Recaros should have been options, not standard. Why? Well some (like myself) may prefer an high end aftermarket coilover set up. (I sure hope MRC lowering springs come out soon). Some may just want to go aftermarket for the exhaust right off the bat, and have no need for the NPP to come with the car. Finally, for some who may daily drive theirs, or may be a bigger dude, the Recaros may be a little much. Plus, doing that could allow for a starting price a good $2000-$3000 or so less...

I was reading Road and Track or Motortrend and they are saying the Recaros are optional not standard. Some conflicting reports.
