I beg to differ.  This is the sickest Corvette.  Ever.

Reminds me of two movies, Death race 2000, and Corvette Summer

WOW ~ !

 

Very Nice.

 

 7 speed Tremec manual, Zero to Sixty in under 4 seconds and with an advertised Top Speed of 190 mph that's a heck of a Daily Driver.

 

It will be a while before they'll be available in my neck of the woods but I'll test drive one when I can . . . .

It's the Corvette Summer car.  Best movie ever! 

 

The new Corvette is borrowing heavily from its Italian rivals.  It doesn't look American anymore.

Still looks like a Corvette to me! Very impressive numbers and it should have nothing to ***"performance wise" to European rivals, but I still can't help to think the interior looks like a Pontiac Grand Am, chincy!

I saw some pix of the new vette last month. It is a frikkin' beast.

I agree with redline on this. This totally looks like a Farrari 599. They droped the ls motor. It has less hp and a 7 speed stick. That tells me they went after millage. I said it last month. I will say it again. Gm killed the vette.

Hmmmm, must be the European version.  First 'vette I've seen with the steering wheel on the right.

 

In the video, the wheel is on the right.  In the picture, the steering wheel is on the left.  Two different cars.  In the picture, the wheel is on the same side as the sawtooth side of the scoop.  In the video the wheel is on the smooth side of the scoop.

Fish...WOW!!!

 

That is a beautiful car.

 

I hope they use it in the next Bond movie in lieu of the British cars.

 

Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the video.

Which is a shame. it's rivals couldn't touch it on track. Kinda embarrassing for Ferrari when the 575 was getting out braked and accelerated by an "American muscle car" lol go figure.

Well the vette should stop sooner. It was a way lighter car. Now take a 458 up next to a zr1. Both about the same weight and hp numbers. They should both stop about the same The vette will all so kill it on long straights. But here is the kink in american cars. They can not turn worth a darn. If you took the 458 and zr1 on a road course. The Ferrari would walk all over it.

 

The new boss mustang is around 45k can out lap a m3. But it is not by munch. Were not talking seconds a lap. Were talking .500 of a second or less. As munch as I love mustangs. I would rather have the BMW. Same gos for if I had the money for a vette. I would rather have a Porsche or a BMW.

Hey, tipp, it's "much" not "munch".  I typically wouldn't point something like that out, but you got it wrong twice in one post, and there's normally not much munching in fancy cars. :tongue8:

Tell that corvettes cant run road courses to Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connel they won something like 5 24 hrs of Le Mans straight in them. Ferrari couldnt beat them, even having drivers like the late Colin McRae and Prodrive partnering with them. The ferraris had a higher top speed but couldn't hang with them in the corners. And that is before Chevy started spitting out 100k cars

I am with u Porsches are my favorite totally unconventional, rear engine, 6 cyl. But as pure handling a car as they come, most well rounded. Flying Lizard all the way. BMWs just suck, not a true sports car IMO.

BMW's are completely different animals compared to Ferrari, Corvette, etc. 

 

I'd take a new BMW Alpina B7 over just about any car on the road. :)
