730 hp, great looks and RWD, all make for a fun, winning combination. 730 hp out of a naturally aspirated 6.3 liter motor, Good Lord!!! GM get 436 hp out of a 6.2, time to step up your game GM. Even with the addition of a supercharger in the ZR1, the Ferrari still makes a 100 more horsepower!?!

Before everyone gets their panties in a bunch over the 730hp figure let's not forget that Ferrari overrates the 458. It dynos the same as a stock c6z yet is ferrari claims it makes 570 flywheel hp.
Am I the only one that sees a lot of scion fr-s/Subaru Br-z in this cars taillights?

I'd love an Aventador as well but Lamborghini's track record on reliability isn't quite as high (relative term) as Ferrari so that would be a consideration for me. I'm sure it's gotten better since Audi took over, IIRC it was the older ones I heard about mechanical issues...I'd still love a Diablo though too

Well when they can sell a car for 350k it's a lot easier to push the envolope with there cars. I still thinks its more impressive that gm can make a car that sells for 1/3 the price that can out perform most cars. But the engine is extremely impressive for a factory car!! It kind of looks like a new viper too
