    So Chevy is so crappy they'll only sell the two interesting cars in the lineup? That's not surprising.

    Apparently the idea is to give Chevy Europe's marketing money to Opel in order to sell less cars and win more money.

    Or something.

    Holy ****!

    That is incredible!

    According to the internet, the ZX-14R does the quarter in 9.783 seconds at 147.04 mph. A one-tenth-slower ET and 2 mph at the traps against what I thought would be the fastest vehicle around for some time!

    It will be interesting to see how Porsche responds, or even what Ferrari does with the the The The The Ferrari. It's almost as if Porsche played their hand too soon with the 918. The might have to release an "updated" version like McLaren did with the MP4-12C cum 458, though for different reasons.
    "Kimi, can you improve on your [race] finish?"
    "No. My Finnish is fine; I am from Finland. Do you have any water?"

    Its pretty crazy considering it being RWD only and what seems to be relatively modest rear tire(315mm wide, considering both Z06 and SRT Viper runs wider...)...

    The Porsche is cheaper though no?

    I was really rooting for the Porsche too, just because it's a much prettier car than the McLaren.

    Can't fault them for the specs though.

    LOL!

    I stopped checking prices for cars over $150,000 because I know I won't be able to afford them.

    The only reason why I'm even interested is because I hope to see the technology trickle down into lower end cars, like center lug nut locking wheels and PCCB perhaps.

    Heck, who am I kidding. A full set of PCCBs cost the same price as a perfectly good family car...

    Nah you don't want center lock wheel....no one wants to torque a single lug at 400lb-ft when you are changing a flat...

    The car will eventually replaced, but it will be a different concept from the current XK.

    I have to say, despite all, the XK has aged very well.

    Jaguar Releases XK66 Special Edition in Germany to Mark XK120s 66th Anniversary - Carscoops

    I wonder if the F-Type will age as well as the ol' XK.
