I am confident we will prevail with the badge eventually, the look is spot on...nice pic... it's got "possibilities", I've hitched that star to my wagon come rain or shine...

" Not a trace of doubt in my mind,
I'm in love
Oh, I'm a believer,
I couldn't leave her if I tried"- " The Monkee's", and Lowdown's 'I'm a ZEE-liever" rendition...

A few Doubting Thomases (and one or two Thomasinas), some spirited-but-respectful debate, a general concensus, a "junior" version now due soon...

All we need is the GRADUATE!

And imagine, all this input with nary a Ford troll...how did THAT happen?! Certainly not like that sub-forum, one above...

I re-watched the 'Ring 7:41 video and can't help but wonder how a 200 lb. lighter LS7 version would do. The rate of acceleration early on is not quite matched at roughly 7:00 point (heat soak?). I think the LS7's nimbleness and more linear output over time would equate to a heck of a performance...

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/10/06/g...-time-w-video/

Compare it with the 900 lb. lighter-than-ZL1, 19 sec. quicker Z06:

http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/23/2...-68-shaves-20/

Both top out at 170+!! Gotta think the Vette has an aero advantage, though...

..I wonder what the precent of power loss over time from the S/C due to heat soak versus the N/A would be comparatively.....and how they then would stand up against each other over the length of the course.

WILL IT COME TO BE?

OK, If I buy a 1LE and the Z28 shows up I will be very unhappy.
