How is it going to put all that power down through the rear wheels only without burning up the tires?

But that's the problem. The Vette is often seen as a "cheesy" sports car driven by image conscious people. Whether or not that is the case, the stigma will always be there for any Corvette. Think about it, you're considering spending $100,000 on a Chevrolet. The same people who brought us the Cavalier. Who wouldn't prefer a Porsche, even if it means giving up a tenth of second to 60mph? People didn't want the $100k VW, so this better be a VERY limited run if they hope to sell well.
Cheesy, hardly...at least not anymore. When you have the euro loving Jeremy Clarkson admiring the newer vettes, then your on to something.

Sadly they didn't let the stig test it from what i see. Which is upsetting. I wanted to see what #'s it would put down.

I should have phrased that better. I wished the clip showed the Z06's powerlap. I knew it was on the board, I just wanted to see it do the lap.
