And I'd bet that the 70+ more hp would barely be enough to cancel out the xtra 500lbs the car will probably have compared to the Corvette in the 1/4 mile.

true true, vett lovers are loyal to the name, but untill the final specs are out the maro may be lighter or close to the vett in weight. if i were a vett lover and saw that i could pay low 40's for a maro rather than 70's for a vett z06 i would buy the maro. that it a 30k diff in price for the same hp. aftermarket add ons will make up for the perks you get with the vett. and im sure that even with the aftermarket add on you will be well below the price of a vett. you can get suspension parts off of ebay the day after you purchase the car. if you look at the indy thread, fbodfather and the guy from cicc said the production car would be unvailed there, along with venders and accessories. either way, i hope the price is lower but in reality im saving my chips for the big dog/w 22" three piece forged wheels, and a lowering kit.
