I wonder what the Daytona and Indy Pace cars will look like in 2013... you know they'll both be Corvettes for the 60th...

That first line almost makes it sound like you might be able to just buy a Z06 Convertible, and not have to get the 427 Edition to have one... doesn't it?
"The 427 Collector Edition starts with a Corvette Z06 convertible..." That indicates to me that they start with the latter and ladle some gravy on it to make the former. |

Should have been offered from the start. I really like the wheels.

Not a Z06 - its the GrandSport's steel frame and weighs a skosh under 3400.
Basically it's a GS with a 427. |

I think it would be cool if they built a comp prep version. Light and fast, with brake, oil, diff and trans coolers. No nav, no power seats, no leather, no sound deadener, no massive stereo, no luxury crap. Coil overs and high rate shocks and harnesses. Unfortunately if they did build it, they would be snapped up by speculators and never see the track like the Cobra R was.
Just a pure sports car would be cool instead of a luxo-barge. |

you know what "special edition" usually signifies...
last year of a production run - before a major change. Hello model-year 2014 and the C7 I'm already planning a day off for the Detroit Auto Show... Jan 2013, for the introduction. |

When they write;
"Displacing the same 505 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. of torque," the author takes a credibility hit in my eye. It "develops" the same 505 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. of torque, or it "produces" the same 505 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. of torque, but not "displacing." |
