Don't get me wrong, I'm still buying one.

It will be faster than a GT350R on a track and faster than a Hellcat at the strip. That's no small feat.
Exactly what Mike said. Remember what they said the braking distances and handling G's would be with the Camaro SS? Once testers got their hands on the car, they were able to easily beat those numbers. I'm sure the same will be true with this car.

I want one, bad. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get one for quite some time.
