    100hp per cylinder.

    That car makes me proud to be an American. Though honestly what the ZR1 needs is not so much more horsepower as more whale penis leather interior. More HP makes up for a lot of that though. #specterwerkscorvettegtr

    When I first saw this head line from the corner of of my eye on Twitter, I thought it was about a wreck involving a Corvette and a Nissan GTR!

    Nice 'vette, by the way. #specterwerkscorvettegtr

    By radically restyled you must have meant "Pep-Boys body kit". #specterwerkscorvettegtr

    @Ben Wojdyla: I read the guide and I read your post of "not a body kit, a new body built coachwork style. you can read more about it here:".

    New body or not it still looks like a Vette with a bodykit and in no way looks radically restyled. If it were radically restyled it wouldn't look much like a Vette.

    When you can't decide between the displacement on demand of your right foot and the boost on demand of your right foot, Lingenfelter is there.

    Or, if you're tired of all that Porsche/Nissan bullshit, Lingenfelter is there.

    Or if you just want a car with a funky name, Lingenfelter is there.

    We love you, Lingenfelter.

    Will you show us your lederhosen?

    This Corvette (which I'll never have) would sure look good sitting beside my Ford GT (which I'll never have) in my 2-car garage (which I do have). #specterwerkscorvettegtr

    @skaycog: You're one step ahead of me by actually having a proper garage, but those 2 would certainly be finalists in my hypothetical garage. But where to park the CTS-V for when I need something "practical?" #specterwerkscorvettegtr

    If only collisions in the game looked even half this convincing. The GT series' goofy collisions physics is the last thing Sony should be hinting at. #gtforpsp

    I'd expect the cars to pull over and settle this in the pit - at which point the Vette driver proceeds to tune up the Lambo's aluminum body with a Louisville Slugger and subsequently kicks the driving-glove-equipped, latte-drinking, Porsche-sunglasses-wearing, Lambo-driving poseur's lily ass.

    Unless it's Chuck Norris. He'd never own a plastic car.
