Default Slow news week -- Corvette Stringray pricing announced.

$52K for a lot of car. About $2K more than the superceded model.

The GT3 "equivalent" Z06 (or whatever it will be called) should continue around the $80K mark. North of 500 horse, third pedal. Here's hoping (praying!) the Vette people have sorted out their electric assist steering. Puh-leez!

Porsche really has to rethink their pricing for the USA market. Sure, they can command a premium over the humble Vette, but not close to 100% premium!

I will have to buy one if I fit in it with a helmet.
-450HP 450TQ ++
-7speed manual
-E-diff
-Dry sump
-Bigger brakes (Big enough?)
-Coolers and cooler airflow everywhere
-Around 3200lbs
-Full track spec + all the goodies around $60K

Loaded with everything $70k, including $3200.00 for full leather / alcantara (Suede in American) interior that looks pretty good.
I will delete chrome stuff, paint reflectors, lower fit wide wheels roll bar and seat belts and report back what breaks and when. In dark colors is looks much better:
