2,400 Horsepower Corvette, Enough Said
The McLaren P1, a true hybrid hypercar, only has 903hp. The Bugatti Veyron? 1,149hp. This C6 Corvette has double that.

^^ Exactly.
Big horsepower no longer impresses me. The overall balance of all the components and the ability to get traction to use all that power is a beautiful thing.
Can you build a fast car that can actually hook and won't blow up after a few passes? That should be the ultimate goal...not just numbers IMO

Excessive! I like it a lot. Impressive, but you can't really put all that power to the ground on a small tire. I like seeing it in a somewhat "streetable" form but I would really like to see what it can do with tires that can hold that power. Makes for a crazy and challenging ride.

M1 - 120,000 Lbs. (in its lightest variant) = 80Lbs/HP
Vette in question - 3,500 Lbs. (and I think I'm being generous) = 1.46Lbs/HP
Admittedly, the M1 will probably not have as much wheel-spin and most likely will launch much better, so it could be a close race. I'd like to see the 60' times...

That car was wicked fast 
Now this one put the power to the pavement pretty well IMO.

Wow! This vette is clearly a work of art and a wonderful engineering accomplishment and certainly to be admired by many. But, I don't happen to be one of those folks. Hats off to those that created it nonetheless. I am sure you put your heart into it.
