I guess Porsche is still a little PO'd at Jason Cammisa for calling them out early in the game for not offering a manual in the new GT3. Looks like Cammisa is now to Porsche what Chris Harris is to Ferrari. Wonder if that had anything to do with the Cayman's last place showing…...

Anyway, nice result for the new Corvette:

I would surmise that it had to do more with R&T politicking for increased advertising revenue from GM.

Looks like a sad day for the new Corvette; a car developed to excel in straight line acceleration. It was solidly beaten 0-60 by 0.4 sec. and 1/4 mile by 0.5 sec. with a 4700 lb. station wagon.

The dyno'd that engine at Motortrend in their M5/E63 comparison, and the E63 had well over 600HP. Add AWD and you have a rocketship that can haul 5 kids.
