Think about the first time you guys hopped into a performance machine long before you knew the difference between a clutch and a torque converter. When we open the door and seat ourselves behind the wheel, it won't matter that it isn't 500 horses. We'll be swatting the bitter competition on the street and on the track; at shows and in parking lots; on the block, at work, and when we invite our neighbors to our garages. Don't look at 400 and think you need more. You do need more. I need more, too. For now, just remember that there are some very powerful people who look back at Chevrolet history and know that it isn't about selling Uplanders to soccer moms and Cavaliers to 16-year-olds. They know that these machines are works of science and art, and they want to produce a masterpiece that challenges the laws of physics and the limitations of last year's machine. 400 horsepower for $30,000 is a freaking steal. Now bow down and thank that bowtie on whatever you drive now that something even better is coming because we're lucky to have a company that's paying so close attention to us that they won't settle for less than bruising the pride of every other performance brand in America.
