Making a low-slung monocoque and added a blown F150 motor does not a supercar make TO ME. Keywords, TO ME. The C6 Vettes are more sophisticated than FGTs and cheaper too.

If it can take all that power, that means they could’ve designed it to make the stock 550hp (or whatever) and be significantly lighter, higher revving, etc. Just like…Supras! :eek Which is just dandy in $35k cars sold to John Everyman, but it’s pretty weak in America’s flagship supercar that’s supposed to compete with Ferrari.

I have to agree with Oscar as well, although I sometimes question why he still has US residency. :lol
