Here's a better question - if the ceramic rotors are only $1491 each, how can I fit them to a Porsche?!?!

Wow, sweet sound! Anyone know what the MSRP will be? (provided you can get one at that)

Hot Rod magazine was at our shop (#3 or 4 production car) when they were at Barbers came to my shop and put it on our dyno for an article. You will be surprised by the lap times The car was red.

Although if I could get one of these or the new Vette without needing to visit a Chevy dealer, I'd think about it for sure.

Your name is deeply associated with a car that provides a focused excellence like nothing else GM has offered to the public in decades. Thank you to you and all of the team that made this car a reality. Simply amazing.

I'm easily as excited to take delivery of this Z/28 as I was with my 4.0, if not more so. The Z/28 certainly offers far more value than anything new with a Porsche nameplate.

Well done!

Yep, the embargo lifted today. I'm headed out to the bookstore tonight to stock pile all the magazine reviews.

This program has been a lot of fun and it's not often when you get to do so much focused track development. It's tough to really make the point, but the team that developed this car are all track rats and racers. I think you'll really enjoy yours once it arrives.

It was a lot of fun to interface with guys like Randy Pobst and Andy Pilgrim at an event like this. Where they get an opportunity to hang it all on the line to throw down a lap time in a vehicle you're immensely proud of. It was also enjoyable watching all the journalists get out of the car and come in smiling.

Did this replace the ZL1 or what? That was a pretty hot ride too, but the price premium over that model is a little confusing.

I haven't been keeping up with GM at all, this is pretty slick.
