The 2002 Corvette Z06 will boast 405hp up 20hp from 2001. Alright!!! An even faster vette to try and beat.

Even funnier? A new color! Electron Blue. Are they taking cues from Honda?

The NSX is due for a redesign. Ten years with the same shape and yet the car still manages to turn heads. I wonder what kind of ugly look they will come up with for this one??????

They have something in I think Road and Track has an article on it. The redesign pic that they had in there looked kind of ugly to me. The headlights resemble the RSX and the tail lights look like they went back into the 80s to get their design. Just my opinion though

Look at the redesign of the CR-V. It looks like all the Honda redesigns are heading in the direction of these front lights...............WTF are they thinking???

Sorry for getting off on a rabbit-trail Charles. I dont mean to try and redirect your post!

I am however dissapointed at the low hp that the new 2.0L civic SI is boasting. Seems like they could have givin the public just a bit more with a 2 liter engine. Just my $.02!

the new 405hp zo6 is pretty much there i watched a road and track special on it and they claimed it ran a 12.4----the viper is only a 12.3 so in a real world race where you dont always get perfet times they would be basically the same---this goes for the handling aspect too the zo6 brakes handles and haules ass....
