I like how my comment to travis about the Autoweek article from several hours ago hasn't been approved yet… and now we have this.

Does anybody get Autoweek in the mail?

Ding Ding Ding!

Right on. I can't stand cruise for many reasons, but man does he commit in his performances. Sometimes I wonder if this is why he's nuts… like he's lost his true self over the years. I hate to admit it, but I do enjoy many of his movies.

As impressive as it is, GM is once again benching against an outgoing Ford (significantly cheaper outgoing Ford this time). GM is in for a surprise if they dont think Ford has an equally impressive, powerful and technologically advanced answer to this car... that weights significantly less. Look what Ford did with…

Oops, I was wrong. Some CAD files were used. My other comment still stand though.

Bad description. I am about 99% sure no actual CAD files were used to create this model. Spy photo's were used to extrapolate and while the b-pillar and 1/4 window may be close, the rear hips, greenhouse and tail are all conjecture. Its a nice model based on limited data.

I do, but it sucks and I'm working on 3 sites before I can redo it from scratch www.warhorseperformance.com

Yeah, we actually planned on going that direction from the start and built a prototype like that with more of a "Kamm" profile (think daytona coupe). Unfortunately weight, rigidity, complexity and cost got the better of the idea :-/

Cool, I make those tops. Well, the WH variety, not AK.

I think the author added the "grip" part when incorrectly paraphrasing what they read about angles of climb in regards to artificial aspiration in an aeronautical context. The inclusion of altitude is a dead giveaway. Context is everything, and unfortunately its a concept lost on many people.

I believe they pulled this from a source discussing the invention of turbo/superchargers for use in aircraft. The source probably said something like "artificial aspiration allowed piston engine planes to achieve higher altitudes and climb at greater angles at greater rates.... yadda yadda yadda". Whoever wrote this…

Oh, to have rich people problems...

Hartley 'Busa based v8 I'd guess.

Vortex Generator.

RIP Phil.

Agreed. Even a 6" gap would have made it look much better. Overall I really like the car, but that rear end still looks wrong to me.... too angular, needs wider radius fillets etc. I have a feeling 10min behind the wheel would make me forget though. I can't wait to see the Z06.

Discussed on specific forums by dealers, or "well advertised" by SA? There is a difference. Was it officially stated? Was anything published by SA themselves? Yes, it was talked about at great length and with plenty of warning to dealers.... but what about potential customers? SA specifically chose not to publish…

I tried to contact you via email.

Yup, thats it.
