Jalopnik Snap Judgment: So how rampant is this problem? Considering that a massive corporation like GM is going after less than half a million bucks, it wouldn't seem like a very big deal. But GM is sending a message here that they're taking everything seriously. And, being as some of us are Metro Detroiters, we can sympathize with GM to some extent: Automaker employee discounts are swapped and sold like cash in this town (even appearing on Craigslist at times) since everyone knows someone who works at each of the Detroit Three. Bottom line: It sucks that it's getting harder to game the system, but we can't blame GM for asking people to play by the rules. [Detroit News]

The 638 HP 2009 Corvette ZR1's price of $103,000 (let's pretend for a moment vagaries such as dealer markup don't exist) has a cost per HP of $162. While not the best deal on price per HP, it's still a steal. But this pricing on the 2008 Corvette Z06 brings the cost per HP war to a whole new level — dropping the already amazingly value-rrific cost per HP down from $143 (already lower than the Nissan GT-R and Dodge Viper according to our official Jalopnik "By The Numbers" comparison chart ) to the staggeringly bargain level of $124 per HP!

The Z06 was already the over-used "value champ," (We need a quarter jar for every time we're using the word value in this post, don't we?) but this new deal truly offers the chance to bring high horsepower to the masses. There's simply no better deal out there. Even Suze Orman would approve.
