So yeah our ECu's are finally cracked and we can finally start making real power! But Chevy unveiled the new Corvette: Starts at $55k, MID ENGINE, 0-60 2.8seconds.. just wow. Used R8 market might just plummet What a time to be a car enthusiast!

I love my S5 Sportback, but am a GMC truck guy as well, so awesome to see GM put this thing out there and at a attainable price point. It is defiantly on my new short list of must have toys.

I watched the unveil for it as a long time GM fan. I may actually get one of these. Looks like a fun and promising car.

If you buy a C8 you get a free paddle, because this car will spank a lot of cars at its price-point and even higher.

This car is on my radar once my lease runs out.

I have to admit that this looks pretty sweet. It had been rumored that the mid-engine Vette would start close to $100k, so this is a tremendous value if it truly will be close to the C7's price.

This may be the first American made car I ever own. Looks so awesome and relatively cheap for the performance. I do wish it had all wheel drive, but hey this thing would not be driven in inclement weather!

Come on, we don't need AWD around here. The bigger problem is finding a road worthy of a performance vehicle, as nearly everything is straight and filled with potholes.

635 Express Lanes! Best $ I spend to avoid traffic and get across town RAPIDLY. The A5 performs very well at “elevated” speeds!

My S5 has alienated the same TEXpress a few times.
