170hp in a 2800lb+ package is going to be positively slothful by modern standards. Any number of its competitors will easily hand that thing it's rear, they'll do it while carrying 4 passengers, and some of 'em will do it for less money, too.
For that matter, yeah, it's about the same power-to-weight as a BJ8 (or an MGC, for that matter), but shouldn't GM be a bit embarrassed about a new "sports car" that's competitive with a 50-year-old design (which wasn't particularly modern then).
If they gave an estimated street price I missed it, but to even begin to be competitive they're going to have to bring that thing in at well under 20k, and they can't do it.
Once again, GM misses the mark so completely you wonder exactly what they're problem is.
