Better have the suspension and brakes to back up the HP. Looks great!

Yeah - and your car LOOKS a whole lot better too - hard to get away from that butt ugly rear end on the C7s.

I've grown very fond of this vehicle, it will be quite some time before I consider replacing it with a newer model.

The only performance metric that truly matters for this car is whether it can comfortably carry a beach chair so the owner can take up an extra parking space at car shows and rest their aftermarket hip while sipping free McDonald's coffee.

I really still just don't understand what the goal is for this car... unless it actually is the beach chair and coffee thing.

It has all of the sounds cool go fasty stuffs, bazillion dollar brakes, more wings than you'll find at an airport... and they still have a giant heat sink sitting on top of the engine. A 2.65-liter supercharger? Jesus.

I have a better idea.

STOP PUTTING SUPERCHARGERS ON THEM.

I bet the engineers at Porsche laugh their asses off every time GM releases 1 of these things.
