I agree, if I bought a 2020, that's a color that would be high on my list.

You talk about a WOW factor. I just wish it had 4-5 speed. I just cant buy an automatic . So ill wait till gm offers one and I think they will along with more serious horsepower. ITS amazing looking

I think you will be waiting a while, hope I am wrong though.

I was reading yesterday that Porsche has brought back their manual transmission in the new 911. The first new ones that are out now are paddle-shift automatics but the manuals will be out in a little while.

Engine sounds like a well tuned Ferrari V12. Obviously a flat plane crank if it is a V8. Smokey Yunick (and a few other since) built some monstrous octopus looking headers that had all the puslsed timed correctly and it sounded similar, but not quite how a flat plane crank V8 sounds.

Probably 180 degree headers. We ran them in roundy round NASCAR late model sportsman LT-1's in the early 70's. Wicked sound...
