Even though the M82A1 is quite impressive, I personally could not justify the cost. I cannot figure out how to get $8k worth of fun out of one, just as I cannot figure out how to get $140k worth of fun out of that vette.

What's the point of spending $140k on a car that you can't "legally" drive on the street...."Off road use Only"?? WTF?

the so called "blue devil" or "corvette SS" is said to most likely be called the sting-ray. they have been waiting to bring back the name and now that they have the top bargain supercar again, they will bring it back.

I don't know where you heard that but I doubt that theres any genuine truth to that rumor.

Yeah, GM needs to chill the **** out with slapping "SS" on everything, starting to lose some credibility.

I assume the 11.6@136 1/4 time that they report was due to a huge traction limitation? Even so... that seems kinda low does it not?

They said "...blisters through the 1/4 @ 11.6@136...a number that verifies the prodigious power..." It doesnt take 720hp to get a vette down to 11.6...

Like I said..unless they spin the entire 1320 feet. But its got "viper tires" in the back. I would think that even pedaling it down the track you could click off a better time than that.

I kinda like the looks. I hope they bring the "Stingray" name back for alittle. Thats much better than SS.
