well in '09 the vette is going to increase it's margin by how much it beats other production cars by getting the LS9 rated at over 600 horses and over 600 lb-ft of torque.
GM just keeps raising the bar.
The new CTS-V is getting that same engine in detuned form. I"ll take the V over any BMW or even Mercedes although the SLK series look pretty sleek.
Bet the V will last longer than the Bimmer also.
Mercedes on the other hand are built very well.
Germans engineer and build the hell out of all their vehicles.
How did this conversation go from Devilles to european cars!!!!
