Probably Old News
Most of you guys and gals on the leading edge of Corvetteness already know this.
2008 base model Vette gets 430 HP.
Those folks at GM know a thing or three about marketing.
Like how to shake us folks that have the C5's and C5 Z06's off the old pocketbook. That's what I was thinking while reading the article.
My preference is for the C5 body style but I definitely feel 'enticed' by the additional HP of the newer Vettes.
I like my '02 Z06 but dangedit, I WANT 430 or 500 HP.
Here's a link to the article.
