what are you talking about? I see the similarity of the tail lights on the surface but I think thats not even close to what this car is.

7spd manual with rev match kinda like the 370Z cars. It blips the throttle for you.

Tail lights are terrible. GT-R fenders arent my favorite either. Everything else is amazing though.

I feel it's safe to say that 450hp "estimated" probably means around 470-480hp based on recent "estimate" trends in the muscle car world.

The ZL1 was supposed to be "550hp" and is 585hp.
The 5th Gen's were supposed to be "400hp" and is 426hp (in the ls3 anyway)
Less than 2 years ago, the 2013 GT500 was rumored to have "at least 600hp", and in 2005 people couldn't wait for the 2007 Mustang Cobra with 475hp!

It looks like a 370Z a bit. The rear end not loving it. But the rest is nice.

I like it alot but not the rear end, start over on that now before its in full production. That rear looks like it should be on the next gen Camaro. I still would like a current gen z06 vette if going with a 2 seater. But more than anything, I like the pony car shape with 4 seats when it comes to having 1 car I would like to drive for fun.
