I'm sure the factory tune is not optimized for power, look how much the ZR1, ZL1 and CTS-V's pick up from a tune.

Lets hope the C8 looks more mature and not like a cartoon - especially the frontend.
I think this is the first time in history that a Viper has a more elegant and refined design than a Corvette..

Gee... That's probably a few years off, to say the least. At any rate, I think it's obvious that most people find the C7 to be a really good looking car. Viper is a standalone vehicle though, as always. It simply looks like a bullet of large caliber and high velocity.
