I am thinking that they either had to add weight in certain places to balance things out, or because of the new found power it needs the added weight to keep it a more stable platform. Either way, you will never know specifics about a damn car until it actually arrives.

The color = puke IMO, looks like a babies bedroom color. I want to see one in onyx black.

620hp vs a suspect 650hp is not a big deal IMO, hell GM has been underrating their cars for 40 years now. I bet dyno results will prove that 620 claim wrong.

A simple pulley swap, headers and re-tune will net HUGE gains. Starting w/ that much power, I can see 580ish rwhp stock and w/ the minimal mods I said, I bet 690 rwhp is easily had. Either way it is a big step up from the current Zo6 and will dominate the fancy super cars more so than the current Zo6 does.

I'm guessing like 540rwhp on the dogs and 580-590 on the freaks. I wonder what their stated weight if for the one with the luxury package or the base? I predict lowish to mid 10s on D/Rs

Yes the bus has DRs at all 4 corners and a slick for a spare . DRs are street tires..... they won't last as long as a something the manufacturer will throw on but its still DOT approved
