Those are very impressive numbers. But the cosmetic add-ons seem over the top to me. And why didn't they just go with the Z06 engine? I wouldrather have that than this supercharged one. But I will certainly take a look at it. I am sure it will be blsitering fast straight line.

The new ZO6 will be called the ZR1 and will be supercharged. The new ZR1 and CTS-V will share the same Supercharged engine. BTW the existing ZO6 will be the last 427 Chevy will make for a while!

Hmmmm.......

We'll have to eventually see how the overall performance is ('like that they'll have a 6MT available). But 'impressed with exterior/interior design already. Thank Gawd GM doesn't outsource design to Bangle.

If ever there was a car that depreciates on an accelerated curve, it's a CADILACK.

They gave him 25k trade value.
Quality means every bit as much as Hp figures.
OMG!!!
Thats almost $20k loss on that car!
I only wish that would be average depreciation on my daily drivers...
