For all who doubted it... I went for a ride in it and it hauls ass

Too bad its ugly. The grill is very Unique whipish and those wheels SUCK imo. They could have done so much better too. At least it hauls a$$, that alone would be worth it and the color is awesome. Must be nice to be able to drop $100k for a ride like that though.

Ya that hood is horrible. The performance numbers look nice tho.
All posts from the above author are expected to be 100% BS. Thank you and have a nice day.

The wheels are from the dealership but I agree with the hood, atleast it's functional I suppose.

I could buy a slightly used z06 for that, when I need performance.

its all about who wants what..... i agree on the looks, thumbs down, but someone obviously bought it, and the performance numbers don't lie. i'm WAY more un-impressed with autoweek, they didn't even take the truck to a decent photo type place? just a pic on the side of the road?

Some people have enough money for a Vette and an Escalade...
Some people it's cheaper to have someone else build your car than take time off work.
I fit neither of these categories.

Yeah the pictures aren't amazing either. Andy will be shooting it for Street Trucks magazine and the black corvette for Corvette Fever as well.
