Is it worth it?

Can you make it faster than a 4th gen at the same weight?

Has independent rear. Anyone make suspension stuff like Strano does for our cars?

WHat brakes can you get on them?

Pros: The LS2 is effing awesome. I drove one and I was impressed.
Cheap for what it is.

Cons: The looks. I have tried, and I just can't get past the boring looks. Whoever designed it should be shot.
It's heavy. Really heavy
The suspension is WAAAAAY too soft. That can be fixed though.
It's not an Fbody.
It costs twice as much as an Fbody
It doesn't look like an Fbody

How's that?
