should the vetter really have “entry-level” or “base” models? ---

ha!! so I’m right :loopie: obviosuly I’m wrong, but I did say it was a guess this is coming from the company that loves to use old badges on shitty new cars i.e. look at all the shit they’ve thrown “SS” on. ![http://www.kevuva.com/monte/pictures/01pics/01wayne1.jpg](http://www.kevuva.com/monte/pictures/01pics/01wayne1.jpg) ---

Agreed it was an amazingly bad comparison, but you also didn’t say why it’s such a big deal. Props to them for being able to get the extra sales and $$$ from a good exploitation of the mid-life crisis crowd. A car with go and show is always a winner so why not take full advantage. sorry sauceiffer ---

Handbuilt 505hp 427 and a 36/36,000 bumper to bumper and a 5/100,000 powertrain. you can get it serviced at almost any of the 4,400 chevrolet dealers in the US.

And they usually do it by putting the package on a new body style or all new chassis ---

Totally agree with GM using the tactic too often as a whole. I think they use it the right way the the corvette. ---
