You're probably thinking of the Ferrari Superamerica, which weighs quite a bit, but makes over 500 horsepower. Do you really think the Enzo would be compared to the McLaren F1 if it had only 400 horsepower? IT'S ****ING CARBON-FIBER. For Christ's sake, the engine is a stressed member of the ****in' chassis, and you're going to compare it to a Corvette with a ****ING LEAF SPRING SUSPENSION?

By the way, I thought the Corvette still employed a few fiberglass parts.

yeah that was a definite, wrong answer sorry about that. Just looked it up, 650 bhp at 7800 rpm and 485 lb.-ft. of torque at 5500 rpm, i really gotta start checking numbers and not quote magazines.

Yea, I'm chill. I was just surprised that someone could mess that up. I do think the Z06 will be quite fast though. It will definitely give the Viper a run for its money.

F-ing, F-ing F-ing, shame on you Westside.

The Vette suspension has evolved into a fairly sophisticated system. Some people dog on it because it retains a mono leaf spring, but it's really not justified. I only hope the Enzo motor is making more than minimum wage for working double duty.

As for a simple definition of "muscle car", it's fair to say that any car that is all motor could be one, everyone agree? Motor is muscle after all.

I know the Vette suspension is quite good, but it's still a leaf spring suspensions. The Mustang might have a more advanced suspension, but it still doesn't have an independent suspension. The Cobra had an independent suspension, and people literally complained.

"Suspension, four-wheel independent: includes transverse fiberglass leaf springs"- gm...........please explain to me how in the.....Why does it still retain the leaf springs if it is independent?

Oh leaf springs aren't so bad think of the early corvair
