Holy crap, that is hot. Much better than the current TribecaBeak(tm) or the EvoSnout(tm) that the X will have.

I like it too. Maybe we'll trade the Evo in on one in '08

I like the front end, but hate the hatchback portion.

Re: November 6, 2006

Is it me or is that car even taller than before? The proportions looked all JACKED UP. This is approaching ESCALADE territory... It also "looks heavy".

"I can literally HEAR you getting fatter!"

Saleen confirms intent to produce version of Camaro

Saleen also reveals that the Camaro's top end V8 will be a 6.2-liter producing 450 horsepower that will also be the new base engine in the Corvette. The Camaro's base V8, he goes on to say, will probably be a detuned version of the same engine.

Oh mama... that caught my eye.

So the base Corvette is getting 450 hp now? Sheesh! This is nuts. and I love it.

I wonder if that has anything to do with the new pedestrian bumper laws in Europe and subsequently a new "tread"?
