First off, this is the first time I've been excited about cars in a long time!

Already love this car!

LS3 6 speed manual.

If you use AFM, we need an exhaust cutout, kind of like the current Corvette option that boosts LS3 power to 436, but more. AFM sounds bad in 4cyl. mode. That's why the Pontiac G8's exhaust is obnoxiously quiet. So open up the exhaust, but when AFM kicks in 4cyl. mode, muffle the racket. We want rumble even with AFM, but perhaps manual trans LS3's won't use AFM at all...

Either make the front fascia air scoop functional or make it go away - Ram Air is good! Give it the Bob Lutz test- "Do you see BMW's with fake hood scoops?" The G8 GXP had a giant wing spoiler until Bob caught it just in time, before launch. The G8's hood scoops are fake though, and that bugs me too; But I like the look...

Build Quality, Build Quality, and no orange-peel paint
