Did anyone else get their December Corvette Fever yet? On page 10, they quote Gary Cowger, president GM Engines North America as saying:

"First, it will be more powerful. In baseball terms-and this is a quiz-think about Ted Williams' unmatched feat from 1941: his batting average. Second, it will have a more athletic stance: a longer wheelbase and shorter overhangs. For the first time since 1962, it will have fixed headlamps. Unlike the traditional pop-ups, this will allow the use of modern, high-technology lighting. You'll notice the Corvette badge is a bit different as well, trimmer and more athletic to match the stance of the car itself."

I looked up Ted's batting average in 1941: 406!

That would be OK for the standard car. But they need to go snake hunting with the Z06 or Z07 whatever they call it.
