For the hell of it, I test drove a 2008 Corvette (base model), $39,950.00 . The salesman let me & my buddy take it out unsupervised, so I hit it around 100mph, and even at that speed, it Bolted like a Raped Ape. Really bolted, actually throwing us back.

That thing pulled so hard on the highway it was scary. It also handled much better then I thought, maxbe even better then my STi and I was told Chevy's now on par with $300K Exotic's. Everyone knows how last year, the old base LS2 Corvette outran the 911 Turbo @ Nuremberg, but how much better is this new 2008 LS3 Corvette? Is Chevy unstoppable now?

For $39K, it seems like a no brainer. Anyone know what the quarter mile time is on the new Vette (LS3)? The Dealer claimed low 12's on the Base, I'm hearing more like 12.5, stock??
Friends got one.. and youre not lying. Thing is insane, it just pulls pulls and keeps on pulling. Awesome car.

I dont see how old men drive those around at the speed limit 24/7
