This monster will have more than 100 extra hp, lots more torque and barely more tire (though it does weigh about 200 lbs more).
The electronic shocks do mimic drag shocks of old on hard acceleration and encourage more weight transfer to the rear ... and they have made first gear even longer. But, still -- you've got to wonder whether this will get representative 0 -60 and quarter mile times in the hands of testers.

Speaking of an extra 100 horse, have any of the power ratings been confirmed yet? I read something about 620HP and 585 ft/lbs but those were estimated. Anyone know what the ratings really are?
PS. Most gorgeous Vette ever!!!!
