While not stictly "tech news" the new Corvette does deserve a quick look. I'm not a huge Corvette thing or anything, but this model looks pretty sweet, plus, you get to hear John "Moto" Chow go on & on about it ;)

"The new Z06 achieves 500 horsepower in an approximately 3130-pound package and is expected to deliver 0-60 performance of less than 4 seconds, eclipse the quarter-mile in less than 12 seconds and deliver a top speed of more than 190 mph on a race track."
