I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

There's something about the styling of a vette that I never liked. I don't know if it's the rear end or not.

It's definitely a badass car, though. BADASS.

mmm yes indeed, I found some more info about it *creams*:

"Now for the engine, the standard engine will have 435 HP and an optional 450 HP. I don’t know the block or engine type, but if the trend continues the 6.0 liter has been talked about. It is the full intention of the design team to us carbon fiber in the engine components. Also, using a complete engine cover (carbon fiber) over the intake and fuel rails done to the valve covers. This will eliminate the current two fuel rail covers and provide a cleaner look to the intake manifold. Radiator shrouds and other such components (wheel wells) are either going to be carbon fiber or a new plastic composite. Again the cost of carbon fiber needs to drop before they will use it. The top cover will project a much cleaner and richer look to the engine compartment. Automatic Transmission will be a six speed, while the standard will remain the current version of the six-speed."
