    So what. I'm going to put a "24 Hours of LeMons Winner" on my crapped out Camry.


    A much cooler claim.

    The C6R is an unruly, ripping, roaring, bull in a china shop that exudes brutality and intimidation. This is some shit you'd see in the parking lot for the antiques roadshow.

    More than adequate performance and great looks.


    The interior could still use a little more polish, but then again, poor interior quality is a trademark of Chevrolet and I would hate to see them abandon EVERYTHING they stand for.


    Wake me up if the General starts selling side-saddle scooters, that's when I'll get worried.

    This is the automotive equivalent to push-up bras with padding. They make the boobs look big, full and make for great cleavage, but then you take the bra off and wind up disappointed. The performance just doesn't match up to the looks.

    Boobies is boobies. And it's not like I would kick her out of bed. But when you spend the whole night stealing glances at what appears to be a nice, perky, cleavage-filled rack only to realize in those pre-coital moments that it was mostly lift, squish and padding from Vicky S you do feel...what is the word I'm looking for...defrauded. Yeah. You feel like things are quite as advertised.

    Getting closer to what I asked for, but still falls short.


    Get a C6.R front bumper, sideskirts, side-exit exhaust and a big fucking wing as well as a revised airbox and suspension coupled with wider tires, then we'll talk :)


    For now, the livery isn't the worst, but it looks... half-done.

    It's missing a lot.

    Fun, but why does it still look like a NASCAR special edition? And $8K for paint and exhaust? Does Chevy think it's selling a Porsche? At least Porsche will cover everything in cow.

    Eight grand for tape and paint? Nice. It looks like GM knew all along how to bail themselves out. I can't believe that anyone would spend that much money for cheesy looking appearance items that make no difference to the car's performance. I'm sure they'll sell the edition out in record time. It's PT Barnum's world...

    The ePRS (patent pending) just laughed at this:


    After announcing the death of the GM High Performance Vehicles Operations, GM announces the highly moidified, one of a kind Corvette GT1 Championship.


    Unlike Alex Rodriguez, no performance enhancements will be used. Instead, poseurs can get graphics and paint colors which imply an upgraded Corvette.


    In order to cut costs, the owner will have to install the windshield graphics.


    Color choices are Deuche Yellow or African-American.
