C7 Corvette

How does the rolling start compare?

I don't think 0-60 is very relevant when comparing AWD vs. 2WD cars, the AWD car has a big advantage with standing stops and they are abusive on the cars anyways.

I would imagine the corvette has a faster rolling start time but that's just a guess.

That lap time is around a course layout that is rarely driven supposedly.  You can't compare it to laptimes from C&D's lightning lap.  I highly doubt it's lapping anything faster than a GTR.  Sounds like a modest improvements over the base C6, which means it's still a monster.  That lap time is disingenuous though.

What would a comparable lap time be for the GT-R do you think?

No idea.  The vette ran on some course layout that is only run a couple times a year.  Pretty much a meaningless number.

God damn. $56k for a car that will do 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and set laptimes around VIR faster than a Gallardo and GT-R is fucking ridiculous.

Agreed!

I would rather shoot myself than drive a Corvette shooting brake.

Get the fuck out of here, a Corvette shooting brake would be awesome. If I had the money, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Corvette shooting brake is stupid.

How about a Corvette pickup that can tow a fifth wheel? Maybe a Corvette minivan?

In GT5, it's 5 seconds faster than the fastest car ever imaginable.

Wouldn't that make it 5 seconds faster than itself? Which would then have to be beaten by 5 seconds by itself?

woah

It finishes the lap before it even starts.

Price seems surprisingly low. I'll have to seriously consider a Corvette for my next car. 

[Rich]

I've been thinking about it.  I'd like a Corvette convertible.  Hopefully it's stiff...

The Miata is a bit floppy, but I do enjoy it's light weight and small size.

Maybe I'll just have someone weld the doors shut and add a brace from the rear bulkhead to the firewall on each side. 

It'd be nice to have the looks of the Corvette and a V8 soundtrack.  I wonder if there'll be a manual roof option?

Need some Nurburgring times.

Yeah, I can't tell if this car is fun without a lap time.

The 'ring is the worst thing that's happened to new cars .

[SVT666]

According to you, lap times are all that matters.

Are you psychotic? That one statement alone seems to contradict and discredit EVERY post you've made in the poll I posted.

We have our very own James May on the 'spin.

Testing on the ring makes sense for sports cars. I agree that it's gone overboard.

He was being sarcastic. Cougs def won the internet on that one.

[GoCougs]

I think the Nurburgring is the worst thing to happen to cars.  Capability trumps driver interaction now.
