All very good points. Although I do think the car is awesome, I do agree with what you are saying. Even though it is limited in production, the cost to develop it must have been huge. And with all the financial trouble auto makers are having lately, that money could have been better spent on other technology.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I won't argue that it's a phenomenal car and probably scary fast...but we had (and still have) other pressing issues facing our corporation that are much more important than having a Super Corvette.
If the Corvette, Corvette ZO6, and C5 Camaro aren't enough to "generate excitement for the Chevrolet brand" then our problems at General Motors are a lot more complicated than first thought.
Again...it's a great car, but now was not the time for it.
Anyway...that's my $.13 on the subject. :captain:
