[MEANZ06]

Can't wait to see one on the showroom floor!!!

National Corvette Museum - 2014 Corvette (http://www.corvettemuseum.org/specs/2014/index.shtml)

I see an upgrade in my future... :D

Is that an updated Commodore V8 motor? Shame they didn't look further along in the GM catalogue for the powerful motors. Sounds like it'll be a nice car though!

[MEANZ06]

More... :twobeers:

Not a fan of the rear, should've done the signature round tail lights...

What annoys me the most is that in the US you could get one of these for the price that we would pay for a new Defender here.

You don't need the complication. have a look at what Nascar teams and the sprint car fraternity do with pushrod small blocks. 900+ horsepower and Nascar run them in heavy cars for 500 miles at 200 mph. I wonder what speeds sprint cars reach nowadays on the long banked ovals like Terre Haute, a one mile high banked clay oval. They were pulling 140 mph laps there in the early 70's.

what annoys me is that it is a Ferrari clone......

what annoys me is that it is a Ferrari clone......and a bad one to boot :o

maybe it's just me, but I don't really like that much at all ... no matter how fast it is. Maybe it will be better in the metal?

Oh ... and 7 gears? really? It's just too many :p

Bloody steering wheel's on the wrong side of it ................ :D

Seriously - looks nice. Think it will be a long time before we see them over here though.

I'll post up a pic or two of a nice one that I was looking at the other day - camera's at work so can't do it now.

I agree. I am putting a 6 speed box in my WB ute but even that is overkill.

[BMKal]

This one is fun ......................

The classic is nice there BMKal..

As for the new one...

Do they make a version for MEN as well :angel::wasntme:

Yes, but have you seen what they paid for a Defender when it was available there?

they did have a DOHC model back in the 90's I think...when they owned Lotus.

but this one has direct injection, variable valve timing etc. Thats pretty good for an old pushrod

Sorry, Mean, but two parked together would look like a pair of sneakers to me.

Give me an E-Type Shaguar any day, baby.
