And there you have it...just what I thought.

"They" are taking the joy out of life; higher and higher taxes, more regs on cars (and about everything else), more surveillance and more subsidies for the rich and poor (all courtesy of the middle class being squeezed).

Performance cars, enjoy 'em while we have them.

I was a fan of the spaceship styling of the CTSV coupe but this looks really good. I would like to see what one with an LT1 could do.

TT-V6, methinks... The new M3-M4 I-6 TT officially rated 430/406 (sandbagged?). The 3.6's wick could be turned up to meet/exceed that...and a V6 would be more in line (no pun) with Caddie's world-wide aspirations and Europe's varied vehicle tax structures/mpg concerns.

'Course, a forged piston boost-friendly 3.6 TT might make an interesting side project @ PBC... Take THAT, M-fans!

Could the V-8 be the new supercharged, "625+ hp" LT4 from the 2015 Corvette Z06? We sure hope so. What's not getting the LT4 is the new Cadillac CTS-V. Instead, it gets a new twin-turbo version of the Corvette’s LT1 V-8, an engine that's also slated for the next Corvette ZR1."

So they are building a V and a V+? Why not just make the TTV6 the VSport and the TTV8 the V?

So they ARE building a ZR1???

I can't believe that the Snake and Mongoose including the 2 carriers stopped at $1.0 million???
The racing L88 Corvette sold for over $2 1/2. Yeah it has history, but NOTHING like the Snake and Mongoose. I'm dumbfounded. Just plain sad.

Anyone catch what Strickler's World Championship-winning '68 sold for, and to whom? I was shovelling snow...

It was "on consignment" @ RKM in Charlotte, awhile ago, for $459...
