CW says they've been doing it in MotoGP for a little while now.

It looks like it's raising it's eye brows.

I'll wait until I see one in person and actually sit on it/ride it before making judgement. I'm interested to see what the mags say about it when testing it also.

I'm not crazy about the initial pics BUT it may grow on me.

I didn't care for the C6 Z06 when it first came out but now I want one.

Totally off topic...but...I read about the ZR1 Vette...or Z something...634hp and 600 some odd ft lbs of torque! Unbelievable.
