Supercharged 6.2L almunium block pushing between 600-650 HP. The car will be lighter then the current Z06 with more carbon fiber body panels and pricing, yes, will be right at $100,000.

I think the wheels are horrendous and the rear wing looks cheesy.
Other than that......I wouldn't mind having one.

Gotta agree. It's loosing the retro curves and starting to look like the run of the mill rich boy toy.
Loose the wheels and wing, and it's not a bad looking hyper-sports car, but you could loose it in a crowd of other hyper cars.
$100,000 to spend? I'd have my dream 'C-3 body on a '07 running gear' car to drive around. Jus' my $.02.

I hope the SS name doesn't stick. SS is for Impala's and Cobalt's. L-88 or ZL-1 would have been more appropriate.
As for the wheels/spoiler and other styling cues, look at the C6R and you'll see a direct connection. Considering there is only 50hp or so difference (depending on what size restrictor ALMS makes them run on any given week) it's not a bad car to resemble. /:\

I wonder some times why car manufacturer's have to take a nice looking car and put all that stupid looking stuff on them. Why can't they just use special badges or emblems? Just my opinion.
