Dark 5.0

It is considered a 2 door sedan, so in essence, yes it is a family car. At least according to insurance, and other such guidelines.

Just because it is expensive doesnt mean its to be compared to the Corvette. Thats to say if it is the price you think it is, which it may not be.

Some one mentioned the Z06 Vette, which is no where near 40,000 dollars.They go for more like 75,000 dollars.

I myself would also prefer to buy a GT and just modify it, or a used Cobra and do the same, but dont forget, we are not the normal consumer. The normal consumer just wants to hop in and go. They dont want to have to worry about all the details and pains that can arrise out of modifying the car. They also want a warranty.They want road side assistance, and all the other perks, right down to the complimentary cup of coffie while you fill out your paperwork.

I do think it will be a success, in many ways.
