Hmm. While it's definitely got HP to move it, the cheesy "see through" hood, and still basic GM parts bin interior, this ain't a $100k car for me. I'd post the Motor Trend article, but that's just typical Motor Trend being Motor Trend (IMO, one of the worst rags out there).

The interior is fine for the base $46k Vette. What turned me off is when I had my Yukon, I test drove a C5. All of the switch gear, gauges, and stereo were the exact same thing.

The interior was vastly improved from the C5 to the C6. $100k is a steal for a supercar that, performs on par or better than other supercars, can be a daily driver, and at a third of the cost of other supercars.

This thing will have its niche. I wouldn't buy one if I had the money. I'd buy the Z06 of maybe the base model and work up from there.

The electronic damping that the article talked about is really one of the greatest things about a corvette in my opinion.
