Got these pictures from Winding Road and Jalopnik. I am psyched to see this car in person $135k for a corvette its has to be a beast! There has never been much room for weight savings on corvettes so hopefully this car is going to be lighter and still have all the comforts of a corvette. With Ceramic brakes I hope they will finally shake those leaf springs and put a set of coil overs on it too. I still would like to see a 6 speed manual (trying my hardest to resist technology), but I recognize it will help almost every driver post faster lap times. More power, weight savings, better brakes, better handling, while hopefully maintaining the reliability corvettes are known for...this corvette is a roll cage away from being my dream car. I am just hoping that $135,000 isn't too hefty of a price tag for the corvette name, because your getting so much car for the money. With a Ferrari badge this car would be priced at $500,000+.  Does anyone else have more information on the car specifically production specs? I've heard too many rumors. Bob Lutz I know you surf these networks, I don't suppose you'd mind letting us know some insider info?
