If it comes in at around 100K with sub-5.0sec 0-60mph (and that better mean something in the neighborhood of 4.5 or lower), with a level of quality expected of a car at that price range, then it's a straight-up R8 (4.2 not 5.2) competitor. Figure it'll be more economical to run per mile, and I can begin to see the appeal. However, I highly doubt that it will be offered with a 3-pedal manual transmission, meaning Luddites will be left with the ZR-1, Carrera S, and R8 as the only viable options. Here's hoping I'm wrong on the last bit.
