Performance Per Dollar

The new 2009 Corvette zr1. Six hundred-ish horsepower and 200-ish top end. Also a uv clear coating component to display the carbon fiber weave which sets manufacturing back $60,000 a gallon!!:

"There’s even a secret ingredient in the clear-coat for the carbon fiber body panels that costs $60,000 a gallon, G.M. said. Caution: Use sparingly – that works out to $900 worth on each car."

That car for 100 grand-ish should embarrass some more exotic vehicles...

I'll bet the small-penis crowd is drooling, waiting to get their hands on this compensatory vehicle. Btw, what foreign nation will production be outsourced to?, or will it be assembled in the 'States by Mexicans under McCain's "no alien left behind" bill?

Having not owned a car for years I can only assume that no man is your equal!!

The crowd you refer to is likely legion, a smaller demo would also have the overcompensated wallet to play for pink slips.

It will be exiting the line at Bowling Green Kentucky, for now...but we all know how things are heading.

Clearly a copyright violation...It takes a confident man to flaunt the law so grandly...my suspicions confirmed.
