Oh YEah....you know how much I love cars...Did you see this thing??
GM promised it would perform better than the current model yet will get better gas mileage. The new version arrives in the fall.
UNDER THE HOOD:
6.2-Liter small-block V-8 with 450 horsepower takes the car from zero to 60 mph in under four seconds. That's at least a few tenths of a second faster than the current base model.
Buyers have choice of seven-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmissions. The manual senses when the driver is going to shift and prepares the car for the change.
GAS MILEAGE: it'll be better than the current base model's 16 mpg in the city, 26 on the highway and 19 in combined driving.
PRICE: Not released, but the current Corvette starts at $49,600.
