Yeh I'm about as far from liking corvettes as they get...but this one...well....what can I say? It's hot as! Reminds me of the 911 gt1 road version. What are the specs on this little puppy??

IMHO is a good car, for 100k euro you take home a real road-racer, I like it, also if I'll NEVER buy it.

I don't understand why you keep on calling it Corvette! It's not a Vette!! If this car is a Corvette, also the Ultima is a Corvette!

The only links that the Mosler have with the Vette are a highly tuned version of the LS1 (or LS6) V8...depends on trim level, the taillights, and a few other small bits and pieces. Other than that it is a truly bespoke vehicle, NOT A CORVETTE...it's a mid-rear engined car...the Vette is front engined...not even front mid...true Front...and the 0-60 times that were posted wherever you saw them are correct. In high-output trim with all the goodies, the Mosler will dip under the 0-60 time that the Mclaren F1 posted in 1994 in the hands of Autocar. It's a really freakishly fast car. Much more of a racer even than the Saleen S7, and certainly well more than a match for most any sports car you could throw at it for that price. IT produces true downforce at relatively low speeds, and handles like it's on a slotcar track. The Mosler Photon or MT900R or S...whatever you get...they're all extremely fast, relatively frugal, and easy to maintain mechanically. The looks...well the jury's still out on them, but the fact that it's fast as fuck is unchanged.
