Does GM do this kind of intense testing on the Corvettes too or they're aiming high with this car? I don't ever remember seeing anything like this on Z06 or ZR1.

But isn't this car going to get changed in 2014 with the new LS engine? So, this ZL1 is just for two years? We already know the 2013 model will also have same 580 HP bast on the info from the vert. model.

THIS is "the" type of background information that truly makes you smile

It makes me want not only the Oshawa folks to sign my shock towers, but test engineers, and more of the team. Wow!

I wish they had a framed picture of your car being built with a signature area below for each purchaser. I'd pay to have that riding with me in the car whenever I wanted! Like the team who "made" it was with the car. It IS that special what this means to me (and you all who will be getting one).

Just because we didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. But if they haven't done it on the current Corvettes, I bet they will do it/are doing it for the next gen.

As for the engines, it depends on how they plan on rolling out the engines and when exactly the new engines will be arriving, last I heard 2014 was an estimate not a hard date. But whenever they do come I'd expect that there will be some overlap, with old & new V8s intermingling for perhaps a year or two. That is just speculation on my part though.
