Thats a good launch,but you could do the same with a S197 GT with slicks,gears,springs,and dumping the clutch at 6k.I don't think the car is ugly,it looks almost the same as a S197 V6,which where my problem lies.If I'm gonna pay 45k[or more]for a car,it's gonna look like a $45k car,not a $20k car.

Nope, doesn't make a difference. Didn't buy the car to turn heads, bought it cause "I" liked it. The power/handling/styling was exceptional for the cost. Heads, cam, and intake...and the LS1 is DEEP into the 12's and 400rwhp. So nope, not worried about it. 
It's always amusing when someone says they don't like a particular car, and everyone rushes in screaming..."Well...it's faster and looks better than YOUR car!" Ok...what's your point? I still don't like it. [:'(]
btw quickshift....to each their own but i guarantee that gt500 will turn a lot more heads than a vette...if that makes any difference

Or you can have a NewAge with no suspension and leave at 3500rpms on DR and get 1.65 60'
