[@augustortiz]

Chevy should have been building this model since the early 2000’s. Not when big motors like these are becoming exctinct. This car is simply so badass from the box.

[@truantray]

But it's a poser car. No way 99% of buyers would not end up dead if they actually used the power, and a few laps on track will overheat the car and burn thousands of $ in tires. But the market demo is 50+ yr olds who will never do anything but make noise with this car.
