Um, no. 260hp and 2000lbs, 0-60 in something like 4.1. Sounds like you're mixing up the Evora weight and the Elise power.

Is the Evora the same chassis used for that Henessey Venom?

The Venom is a stretched Elise / Exige chassis. It looks like they made a new back half for it to accommodate the motor.

My understanding is that the Venom is a stretched Exige. They just had to make it longer to fit a massive engine.

The Evora is totally different than the Exige. It weighs over 3000lbs, has back seats, and is powered by a V6 that makes around the same power as a Z. I personally don't see the point.

Oh ok. We had a guy in our WA Z club go from a 370z to a Exige. It was so tiny. Looked pretty cool and from what he said was really fast.

They're stupid fast because they don't weigh anything. Here's a vid of an Elise (basically a much less powerful, cheaper, soft top Exige) spanking a 370 Nismo and some other cars in a drag race. Not the best start from the Z driver, but you still get the idea...

I hate to go off topic but I need to mention quality. I work for a worldwide elevator co. Here in the US we made a major change and fumbled the ball, instead of apologizing to the customers and do a recall we had a meeting and basically said that it was not a safety issue so when things broke we would fix them.
Our counter parts in Japan made a mistake Once and we sat thru hours of teleconferencing watching every one from the plant manager, engineer, manufacturing personnel to the secretary who sent out the manuals apologize and bow their heads to us...a day later to receive a retrofit unit to be sent out to repair the flaw in the field which was replacing the metric to standard hardware...my point is that as a country we (look at GM) really are not following the motto "Quality is #1"...but quantity is, sad but true and this applies to all the transportation, manufacturing and any business that has CEO's that love their big bonuses... enough said...carry on Z vs Vett

Go with the Vette. High school jackoffs are picking up used 09s for dirt cheap and slamming, hellaflushing, woot woot muffler-ing them. Look around the forum for proof. Me? I'll be the bald, middle-aged fvck driving a C7 in a couple years.
