    Yes I saw that and I think the unveiling is this week. I am excited for the future of Corvettes. Wonder how much over sticker the stealerships with jack the price of the initial offerings.

    It also looks like the new Vette will have an exotic new engine as an option for the better heeled speed demons among us...Talk is of a larger version of the Cadillac Blackwing, turbocharged and sporting twin overhead cams...Hunter, what kind of trade in do you think they might give you when you get your Duramax Colorado back?......Ben

    The new ‘Vette will be in the super car class at 1/10 the price.
    It will probably still have a stinking Bose in it.

    465 HP for the base model with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission at an entry point of $60,000.00...
    With 465 lb-ft of torque, plenty of weight on the rear tires and the latest traction and launch control systems, Chevrolet says it can accelerate to 60 mph in under 3.0 seconds when equipped with the optional Z51 package and performance exhaust that bumps power and torque up by 5 hp and 5 lb-ft. That puts it squarely in exotic car territory. Keep in mind that the Stingray is the entry-level Corvette model and much more powerful iterations are still to come.
    No mention about the radio, Joe...Sorry......Ben

    A good question, Ben. My intent is to sell the Duramax as soon as it is fixed. It'll have a new engine with a warranty, so I'm hoping it will sell. Wish me luck.

    The wife would let me go see it the other day, so maybe later this week. Just hope they made it so us taller guys can get in it.
