I'll quote the Chevy designers:

"We do not wish to have the Corvette competing with the Dodge Viper"

I say:

“Yeah, right. :)”

I saw the upcoming C6 Vette. Man! What a beast. It is returning to the 60
era roots as-far-as the design wise. The engine will be pushing around
425HP and plenty of torque to kick. The weight factor will drop some (more
shaving I guess). Still, looking at the upcoming beast (BIG DADDY VIPER),
still has the Vette beat. Imagine going 1/4 mile in 11 seconds and 0-60 in
3.8 seconds, still stock.

Depends on what you do with the car. '96? Type R won the overall title at
the last ProSolo national event.
That is handicapped. A Type R isn't close to a 360 Modena or a Corvette
Z06. But it sure dominates the hell out of G-Stock (the WRX class).
