Not to fond of the hood. It's different. Other than that looks like a nice car.

It will be the only Vette that cost $150k+ atleast!

I like how they reference the GT2 which is going to do 204+ mph bone stock and will still put a better time around the ring than it. Oh well at least it will win in the 1/4 mile

The GT2 is very expensive... In the neighborhood of a 190k, but your buying the top dog (minus the Carrera GT) that Porsche makes.

The Vette will be 100k + Dealer Markup.. Does anyone remember the 90's ZR1.
