That car is REALLY low to the ground... I dont see how that could possibly be the production car's ride height...

Maybe it's just because the car is leaning in the turn?

That looks badass, but I'd never ever buy one. I dunno why, it's not my thing. They're going to sell like hotcakes in the US for sure though.

Well the Zeta platform was designed to be left and wrong hand drive, so it wouldn't be all that hard to do it. And when the hell did the Jalopnik guy join our ranks?

I thought the SS was the highest model for any GM vehicle, well other than an obvious one: Zo6.

Note: Driver's glove blue, thus not a stig.

Hmm I guess I am in the minority, yellow is the best color for the Corvette.

C4 and later Corvettes look good in yellow, older ones don't.

SS (Super Sport) was the badge placed on the highest performance Chevy (the Corvette was always in a leauge of its own) they had to offer. However over the years it became a good laugh because it was hung on many cars that did not live upto the SS name, but they've vowed to correct that and so far have been doing a good job keeping their word.

At least for camaros, the SS was the drag racing package, with a gigantic engine and whatnot. The Z/28 is sort of "the handling package".
