it does have a lot of hp but the car is also well balanced and well equipped (brakes, suspension, etc.)
One of my co-worker's father-in-law, is a retired GM engineer. He just traded in his 75 'Vette for a brand new 2K2. My co-worker drove it when his father-in-law was in for a visit, just last month. He said the new rear end has some amazing traction control. He kept trying to bark the tires, but it didn't happen. He said no matter how much he punched the gas, the sucker just launched. Now, I'm not a real big fan of the Vette (except the older models), but this was a very impressive report. I told my co-worker that the next time his FIL is in town, I'd like to see for myself.
