Yes, the new Vette is beastly and damn refined. I used to work at GM in the late 90's and I was fortunate enough to play around with some Vette test builds at the Tech Center and Proving Grounds. For untrained drivers, they only let you go 55 mph. But the instructors would let em' rip. Sooooo fun.

Those dumb SOB's used to have lots and lots of "Pool" cars for us to choose from, including Vette's. I could pick from any make and model on the lot and I always took a Vette if available (or Caddie CTS). We weren't allowed to fly to regional vendors within 1/2 day driving distance. Instead, we had to use a pool car. It really sucked going from Detroit to Dayton in a drop top Vette or CTS in 1/2 the time it would have taken you to fly. Many of my co-workers had their Pool car rights revoked. I just never got caught.
