C7 Corvette

[12,000 RPM]

So 200 HP is too little, and 900 HP is too much...

So you're like Goldilocks, and a 5-cylinder rabbit is jusssssst right.  Got it dude

How can you say how great those cars are, and the BRZ isn't, when you haven't driven them?!

200HP is too little, when I just named 5 GREAT cars w/no more than 200HP? BRZ having a wack torque curve = BRZ not being good? You should write CarSPIN fanfics. You have a great imagination

And the Rabbit is my wife's car. It's a decent drive but it wouldn't at all be my first choice. My ride of choice has a better power to weight ratio than a GT3 and no pussy ass "lap time reducing drivers aids". It has far more ability than I do, but I am working to match it, instead of hiding behind technology

[MrH]

So, how many of those great cars have you driven exactly?  And how do they compare to the BRZ?  What exactly about the torque curve killed the driving experience for you?

This is the most asinine magazine racing I've ever witnessed on here...

[12,000 RPM]

Im sorry I didnt realize we have to have driven every car we have opinions on. We should delete all threads about cars like this which haven't come out yet. God forbid someone speculate about them

Don't you realize how silly it is for you to be telling me what a problem the torque curve on the BRZ is?

It's one thing to say you think it'd be a deal breaker for yourself.  But to call cars definitively great or not when you've got no first hand experience with them is a bit much.  Everything I read says the Clio RS is a great drive, but I'm not going to rant and rave about how wonderful it is to drive.  I don't have a clue.  My own experiences conflict so much with magazines, I have little to no reason to put so much worth into what they say.

Let's just shut down the entire fucking forum except for The Chat Thread.

There's something very wrong with the way that car looks. It's all very jagged and doesn't seem to flow very well.

You are incorrect. Car looks and sounds awesome.

[MX793]

It looks like they melded a Ferrari GT (599 or F12) with a GT-R.  I quite like it.

It works in person. Looks a lot more athletic and taut

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I will own one!!

I liked it in person, but every image I've seen since NAIAS has made me not like it.

It would be nice if they gave it less fins and gills and goofy shit like that.

7 speed manual is not enough speeds. 

I don't like the way it looks, but I can see myself warming to it like I did the C6.

When the C8 comes out and it looks even worse than this.

3.9 seconds to 60 mph and 12.2 at 117.3 mph in the quarter

[MX793]

The more I see/read, the more I like this car.

[12,000 RPM]

This thing is a rocket in all 4 directions and of world class build quality too. Great stuff

[Catman]

Yup, its fantastic. That sound.....

[GoCougs]

And Edmunds got 0-60 in 3.8 sec and 1/4 mile in 12.0 sec @ 117.3 mph...

Surprised to hear that the ride quality is excellent.

And you can buy it or service it in Anytown USA.  It was kinda funny when the local Ford dealer got a GT, which is a town with less than 4k people.

3.2 and 11.5 or it's a piece of shit. 

[Soup DeVille]

3.2 and 11.5 or it's a piece of shit. 

3.2 would probably lend itself to closer to an 11.2.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Of course the c7 corvette is going to be fast, I just hope that isn't all it is.

[mzziaz]

Wow, that is an impressive machine.

[Soup DeVille]

The more I see of these, the better I think they look.

[mzziaz]

Rear end is still kind of bad and the steering wheel, for some strange reason, is marvelously ugly. Other than that, and to my great annoyance - I have trouble finding faults with it. I suppose I could make fun of the leaf springs though.

[GoCougs]

And don't forget the pooprod motor...
