Wow. Still, I bet it won't top the Roadmaster one for awesomeness. But I'll give it a close 2nd (after I view it).

That car is gorgeous.

Too bad running ones start at like 16K...


Review was ok, nice secret track reference.

GM actually did a decent job with T-top storage on the 4th gen F-bodies.

The sad part is that they really don't make this car seem awesome. Forget about the stupid plastic that holds the computer in place. 0-60 in 4.8 seconds is nothing to sneeze at. The new Camaro SS is 4.8, 25 years later. If you want a better interior, get a newer car. You won't find a car with a better interior this fast unless you go newer.

4.8 wasn't....real. Low 5s to mid 5s is more like it. Just look at the 1/4 mile ET and mph. It's nowhere near as fast as a new Camaro. Like 10+ mph slower in the 1/4 mile.
