I expect this to be very polarizing.

Looks like a Ferrari from the front, and Lamborghini from the back. Not seeing much Corvette in there at all.

Agreed and don't matter. I think they're all gone. I hear Tom got his in high gloss rosewood.

The standard Sting Ray will have a 495 HP 8 cylinder in its mid engine set up.
Later, there will be some form of Turbo/Super charged upscale version - possibly called the Z-08 or ZR-1. Chevrolet tends to do this with Vettes going back to the C-4.

Are you installing an 800 in yours, Craig?

I just took a 2017 Mustang GT that was a "new leftover" from one of my clients. We put in a dual 3 inch Catback exhaust from Corsa, added the performance pack 2 from Ford, and are now at 500 HP / 480 pounds of torque with a redline of 7500 rpm.
Total investment for car and enhancements was about $31,000. It also has the Ford performance handling package and is a killer in every way.
I have owned 10 Vettes in the last 20 years, but after this Stang, I am staying with the pony car. I expected "pretty good" and ended up with stellar.
Just ask the guy I was racing on the 407 last month - he had a 911 turbo and could not believe I was staying with him.

Craig, what can you do with my '79 Vandura? The engine has six horses left and the transmission sounds like a lumber mill.

I rented a GT350 a few years back in Las Vegas... it was fun going into the Grand Canyon on the winding roads!

Oh yeah? My 2017 Prius V gets 55 to 60 MPG (imperial gal), ha!
Since we in BC have the most expensive gas prices in North America - thanks to our politicians who enjoy imposing all of their punitive taxes - my Prius is a fine choice. Plus, it never runs out of a charge & doesn't mind extended colder temps in winter (like full electric cars)...

If I lived in BC, I wouldn't even own a car. I likely wouldn't even own a house or condo because they are so expensive. I'd live in my bLuLu.
