Default A new shark?

Did anyone see TNN's "Car & Driver" article on the Tiger-Shark this weekend?
Corvette Fever also did an article on it a couple of months ago.
Awsome vehicle!

A Supercharged 427, pushing 700+ HP & 700+ ft-lb torque, stuffed in a C5, or would that be a C3a?

I saw that too! I thought that the Tahoe with the 2-door (or was that 4 door :D ) configuration was really cool. I especially liked the removable top. Remember how cool the old Blazers with the removable tops were? The Silverado SS was pretty darn cool too!

I would expect that to be the super exclusive limited edition that no one can afford just like a ZL-1 from 30-years ago! But for the fellows that can afford it... built to smoke the viper crowd...

BTW - do model names have to make sense??? The Mako Shark became the C3 but the C3 is called the Stingray (last I checked a stingray is a sand dweller and a Mako Shark is a really fearsome fish...) hence, the Tiger Shark is the concept car, then what do you call the car????? I would assume that baracuda is already taken... Piranaha is too morbid... Any other saltwater fish with an attitude?
