Based on the Farah's vid, the folks at RT pretty much commented that after all the initial Corvette mid engine novelties worn off, they all came back down to earth.
yeah i agree. people are just salivating at the latest new shiny object. Same thing with the supra, dodge demon, gt350r. Then the initial reviews hit and everyone comes back down to earth. Its still gonna feel and smell like a corvette.

i still find it interesting that the 6600 rpm redline feels low to farah. it is the lowest revving mid or rear engine car on sale apparently though. maybe its the gear ratios. i didn't notice any issues with a short redline when i drove a viper.
