Why didn't this thing get the GT350s V8 with hair driers? Lame. This thing is gonna get sawed off by way too many cars to defend that engine choice- namely Z06s, GTRs, and Vipers. Forget bulls, horses, and angry things from Germany. I understand that all of them will be bought by guys who iron their jeans, but for a guy like me half the fun is the sound. This one's a miss.

The tree huggers that run Ford wanted a Ford GT EV.

They compromised.

The Porsche 911 is within the Corvette's performance capabilities with a 6. I'm interested to see the real world performance numbers. I think they did a great job styling wise making something with the blue oval look exotic.

I love it. Can't wait to see the performance numbers but I think the new 600+ hp ecoboost V6 is an awesome setup.

I'd take that ecoboost setup and put it in the Mav in a heartbeat. Lightweight and more than enough power.
