    I reckon a Matiz with a Corvette engine at Monza is better than a Monza with a Matiz engine anywhere.

    Fill the trunk with Twinkies, take it to Rampenfest, and you'd have all you needed for a manned mission to Mars.

    So this does 0-60 in 3.7 and tops out at 162? Really? And the Z06 does 0-60 in 3.7 and tops out at 198 AND gives you a fighting chance of catching a VD?


    I want my 1500 man-hours back.

    The sex of cars. Shoving something big into something small is very very good.


    And when you do it right, you want to do it over and over and over and over...

    I'm not sure why but for some perverse reason I would like to see this thing sliding down a straightaway on its roof.

    Of course, the sad part is that somebody will sell the parts as a body kit and somebody will build one and leave the 3 cyl in there :-(

    I am all for giant motors in little tiny cars. That's one of the things I stand for. Truth, justice, the American way, short skirts, beer and giant motors in little tiny cars. Not necessarily in that order.


    And boobs. I'm all for boobs. Preferably female.

    You have to be a small Chinese gymnast to get in, but I still would love it.


    I bet the handling is, uh, interesting.
