I don't exactly see it at "supercar" status when stock it's not reaching 200mph... as Motortrend puts on the cover.

And then they say "under $80,000". I think 90% of the time they say "under (place value)", it never is by the time the dealers mark it up. So, either buy one of these or a Z06... of which I would still take the Z06 anyday of the week and twice on Sunday!
