true that Dave M "pushed the boundaries" and wen't world class when corvette was about to go extinct.

I like his style! Hoping the "new ZR-1" will be a DOHC mid engine TT car.

if so I'll be saving my butter and egg money and buying a used one (after it's under 100k buy in)

as for the ford. I'm not a fan but I respect what they've done with the new VooDoo flat crank engine emerging with well over 500 poinies and a legit 8k plus red line.

that to me is more exciting than slapping a blower on (heavy up top too isn't it!)

I love all corvettes, but GM does have the engineering talent to build another world beater. I don't think the new Z06 is it. hopefully the new ZR-1 will be!

GM again needs a "flag ship" give me that rear engine maint nightmare with a stout electic motor up front and let's give that "La Ferrari" (jeez what an uninspiring name) a run for it's money at a fraction of the cost.

not easy to do but that's exactly what the old ZR-1 did and it's time to do it again!

now where is that bean counter stick, oh, it left with Dave M !!!!
