C7 Corvette

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

Front tires look bald!

Is that rain or a pool of oil under the front of the car?

Probably a leak from the oil filter.

[FoMoJo]

Saw a C7 in town the other day.  Reminded me a lot of the XLR.

New Z06 does 0-60 in 2.95 seconds.

[MrH]

That is stupid fast.  10.95 in the 1/4 mile.

[AutobahnSHO]

want.

Never liked Chevys but the last few iterations of Vettes just get better and better.

1.2g on the skidpad?  Lol

[SVT666]

WOW.  That's insane for a RWD car. How is that even possible?

Is the Ferrari Italia the only other RWD car that broke the 3 second mark?

Can't wait for lightning lap

Well, we've seen what they've done with a Camaro...

[12,000 RPM]

Man I swear TTAC and Jalopnik have mastered the art of flame bait.

"Thats right haters, the auto is FASTER"

So what lol. A Camry V6 will give my car a rough fucking time in a straight line, does that make it better?

Well, you do want to sell it so you can buy an Accord.

I'll be happy with the manual and 3.2 seconds, TYVM.

The CHARGER Hellcat is... faster! (see thread in mainstream).

[GoCougs]

Jesus. That blows the ZR1 outta the water at $78k.

On drag radials . Put those on the new Z06 and it'll probably break into the 9 sec range (up to 1,000 lbs lighter but only ~60 less hp).

Completely neuters the Viper.

[12,000 RPM]

I wouldnt go that far, lets see the track times.

If the Z06 Z07 Z08 auto drop top can outlap a Viper NISMO R/T-R without spilling froth out of its cappachino maker then we can lower the Viper's casket

I personally would not be convinced with anything less though.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

I'd think mags would probably get 3.1's to 60.

I'm guessing chevy might have went all out to get a pre pro model under 3 seconds, after many tests and fine tuning they probably just realized it was easier to lie(something they are well versed in).

Still fast though.

I have been a Viper fan since the Viper came out in 1992 and annihilated the Vette, and continued to do so for the next ~18 years.  The Viper was the most badass car you could buy and with the 2nd generation it got world class handling and the ACR could pretty much wipe the floor with anything else on the market.  The new Viper was pretty much no better than the last car and is now getting spanked by most cars that compete with it.  Viper is dead.

[12,000 RPM]

Its not the Viper's fault. An Accord V6 is a low 14 second car. An OG Viper would not be able to pull on a measly 370Z. Viper was killed by progress.

Hopefully, now manufacturers will have to figure out something other than performance to sell cars with. Through all the headlines and bullshit, cars like the Boxster/Cayman GTS still strike a deep chord with enthusiasts across the board. Z06 Z07 Z08 Z09 is fast, we knew that. Real question is if its an improvement of the breed and worthy of the Z06 badge.

Sad, not even the ford fanboy mentions the GT.

Personally never been a huge viper fan, the only corvette's I've given a second look too where C5 Z06's and C6 06/R1's. With that said the ford GT is still the best, IMO. But the new C7 Z06 makes a damn good case for itself.

Badass looks, tons of racing heritage and the motors in the right spot.

Well sure, the Ford GT is the best.  It's in another galaxy. 

[12,000 RPM]

There's something about the Ford GT that just makes me

It's a brilliant car but it's not really special. It's kind of a "New Beetle" GT40.

I've never seen something so stupid come out of your keyboard.

Well, you're really not a Ford/domestic fan.  GTs are now selling for about double their new price.
