Men? Ha

I've noticed that 'guys' apply to both sexes, young and old, and it's going to take me a while to get used to that.
I am _SO_ old.

Saw them testing the cars last year at Loveland Pass in Colorado. The wing is ridiculously large in person and really stood out.

Now that I see it without the camouflage, it looks like a McLaren with all the aero bits. Hatch intakes make me think Lambo/Ferrari.

Carbon fiber wheels gotta be $20k lol

When I lived in Coal Creek, I would see them and other brands testing pretty regularly.

As far as the power, it's nice to have it in an OEM package, but a lot of us have been making more power and more power per liter for quite some time. My 20+ year old S2000 makes ~10hp more per liter on a completely stock engine and I 'exercise' it regularly.

I am old enough to remember the days that getting more than 1 HP per cubic inch was impressive. These days if you are not getting more than 2 HP per cubic inch you are not trying. This ZR1 engine is making over 3 HP per cubic inch. This kind of power off the showroom floor is unprecedented and it comes with a warranty, all the driveability you expect in a new vehicle and still gets 20 mpg. Once the tuners get these cars into there shops 2000+ HP will not be surprising.

I am a tuner. We've been doing 2000hp on engines this size or smaller for awhile. I respect the OEM of it and what comes with it, but it doesn't blow my mind.

So going to a wedding for two guys could be different than 2 dudes? So these 2 guys could be a guy and a girl? ??

Well, grandma won the class by over 2 seconds, was one of the fastest of the day, and was like 2-3 seconds faster than a regular in a C8 Z06.
