It's funny at the races in Long Beach the Vettes always do really well. Beat the Italian cars and Porsche's lots of times.

The Vettes dominate in their class at Daytona and Sebring.

They smoked the Aston Martins, a few years back, even when they were required to detune and carry more weight to level the playing field.
Whenever I see a race (and this may be true of Grand-Am) where Porsches are passing Corvettes, I know it's rigged.

There has only been one Vette at Daytona the past few years. Boris Said drives it. Sebring has the 2 Compuware (factory) vettes, and a couple in GTE Am class that all made podiums last year but didn't win. Hoping for more next year in GrandAm. There are lots of Aston Martins this year.

The Compuware team and the Cadillac CTS' flat own their respective classes at Sebring.

I love the looks of that car, seeing the challenger, and the camaro with the retro look, makes me wish to the car gods that they would do a retro Monte Carlo SS from the 80's. I have a 85 original but would love to drive one with a modern touch to it.

Looks kinda Ferrari 599/F12-Viper-GTR-Camaro-ish...not too bad, though. Curious to see what they'll do with the Z06/ZR1 versions.

I know from nailing my RT that the SRT is bad ass. I just didn't want to put up the extra cash as the wife drives ours to work. I live out in the country and take it out a drive it like I stole it with the petal shifter and have a hard time keeping my head up enough to watch the tac. I know that 392 is a beast.

I'm guessing they'll call the Z06 successor the Z07 and that it'll be out next year. Don't know what they'll call the next ZR1, but I'm willing to bet that it will scald cars that cost ten times as much at the Nurburgring.
