Curious if they'll put the sequential gearbox or the DCT. I wish I had a place to store these types of cars.

That is a nice NSX. Will Corvette ever have an identity?

What an elitist and lame comment.

If you are not shallow and care more about function rather than image, then taking something that is great in a supercar and copying it, and THEN charging less for it is a win for the consumer and car enthusiast. The gear selection buttons are copied from Lamborghini too, but who cares.

Leno's video on it was pretty good. The in-car footage really highlights how it would feel to have the dual-clutch shift down and engine take over at 7K. I think that aural experience is going to give any GT car a run for it's money. Amazing engine. I really really hope that engine is up to the task, and not a ford me-too disaster of an effort because this car is starting to make more sense to me. I can get over the looks.

If true, thats crazy. For the ADM of the GT3, you can own a Z06 and have change left for 6 sets of tires.

If you're #1, why would you need to be on 2 dealer lists?

In case one of them changes their mind. Whoever gives me the first allocation gets my money, the other dealer will have no problem selling my allocation to the next guy in their list.
