[QUOTE="GTSpartan, post: 16327735, member: 21531"] That would be like questioning Ford's decision for not going balls out on their 4cyl Mustang. Why doesn't it handle as good as the GT350. It's because they want you to trade up and spend a lot more $. I would argue that the base model is FAR from being hamstrung. Capabilities: 60-0 <100ft 0-60 <3 sec >1.0G Low 11's in the 1/4 at over 120 190+ top speed Unless your expectations are unrealistically high, those are pretty good numbers. Offer something more middle of the road for the masses, that still performs incredibly well at it's price point, but is not so hard edged that you can only drive it under perfect conditions. That's what this version of the C8 is. Just like Mustang owners, most will never even even come close to extracting even 75% of the cars potential. They just want a boulevard cruiser that looks cool. They'll offer something for the gearhead's soon enough. [/QUOTE]
