Default Step aside C7

Say goodnite C7 theres a new faster n better-looking car on the road and it's made by one of the most reliable car companies in this terrible economic climate, Dodge.

Now I'm all for corvette's and all but I gotta give it up to Dodge. They've really outdone themselves this time.

Just take a look at this beauty


Not only does she look cleaner n sexier but she's also packing more than the C7 under the hood.
I'm talking: -more torque
-more horses
-bigger stock rims
-better suspension
-HEMI V8 beast engine
-6.1 litres of power
All for a cool MSRP of just over 20,000. In essence this car is pure perfection and the C7 is just beaten by this puppy in a price to performance ratio.

I doubt you'd find many cars out on the road that would be able to out drag this bad boy at red lights.

Sorry, but it just doesn't thrill us corvette owners.
I have driven one and the ride is way to stiff.

Weighs in at just over 3720 without the driver, handles like a tuna boat out of water. The V6 MSRP is tad over $20K the SRT8 MSRP is just tad over $45K more with added options. Bigger is not always better HP to weight ratio is key.

Wow, this guy's good. There aren't even so much as spy shots of the C7 out yet. Are you a magician? What other tricks can you do?

Oooo, Oooo, I know I know!! Disappear.

That's an overpriced Camaro at best.

You might want to re-check your facts. I have nothing against the Challenger but the one down the street from me was not as impressive as I had hoped.
