Seriously, the point you make is what concerns me. After 7.5 years of learning to build the C5, there is stil the column lock issue, the leaky rear end issue, the fuel gauge issue, etc.

If you like the looks, get it. It's more powerful than the C5 and you're wasting your time if you worry about the quality issues. They've put a lot of time into it and it isn't a backdoor project the way the C5 was. They've had a green light and full blessing from the start and there was no pressure of "get it right or there's no more Vette" this time.
