Default other cars we like...new C6 info

Personally, i would like to see a section dedicated to talk about other cars we like also...but oh well..i digress. I just wanted to let people know that rumors are coming out about the C6 vette. It looks like the US has finally woken up and smelled the true sports car model. The "rumored" specs fo the C6 are 450 HP and 2800 lbs..pretty much a 450HP version of the S2000 minus the convertible Possibly, and entire aluminum frame a-la the NSX or the A8. I was thinking of getting a turbo for my S2000, or selling it in another year for a new 911, but if the C6 has these specs and comes in under 60k......you can count me in. Anyway, else think this is interesting. That would put the new C6 at 6.22lbs/HP compared to the new viper 500HP at 3300 lbs at 6.66lbs/HP....pretty amazing. I would think low 11's high 10's in 1/4 especially with slicks. 6.0 liter N/A engine.

That would be an awful lot of car to offer for under 60k...I'm not so sure they'll reach the 2800 lb. goal.
