C7 Corvette

[FlatBlackCaddy]

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

on the absolute low end. I just looked on cars.com. Cheapest GT is about 240G's all the way up to 600.

It is the best car ever made by any(mainstream) US manufacturer, If that ain't special then I don't know what is.

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.

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.

What the hell are you talking about

Love the GT, but it wasn't (isn't) the most reliable car ever made. In any case, it's a moot point to compare it to a $79,000 Corvette, and IIRC, the best GT 0-60 times were 3.3 seconds.

No idea. The Viper will kill the 370Z. Let's not get silly here.

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.

What does the GT have to do with the Viper?  The GT is one of my all time favourites.  I love it.  But, it would be a lie to say the Viper ACR didn't walk away from the GT on a track. 

[GoCougs]

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.

Not a fair comparison. The Viper cost 2x as much as the C4 save for the ZR1.

True, but he's correct in that not much (if anything) could touch the Viper at its price point during its first 2 generations. Today though, even a Chrysler 4 door sedan is as fast or faster (depending on the drag radial thing).

[Payman]

For the Viper to regain relevance, it needs a redesign to accommodate the Hellcat engine, and an $80,000 price tag. Realistically, after the 600-something Vipers languishing on dealer lots are sold, I fear it's done.

[SVT666]

1992 Viper = $50K
1992 Vette = $35K
1992 Vette ZR-1 = $60K

[GoCougs]

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

Well, depends what you mean by best . Sure The Ford GT is pretty bespoke and interesting but performance-wise the ~$70k Z06 with pooprods and leaf springs was every bit the performer for half the cost, and for 2/3rds the cost the C6 ZR1 was in another league.

And I doubt the Z06 will have any problems circling a track! Look at the time the Z51 put down at VIR!!!

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Sorry, I was speaking in generalities. The best car doesn't have to be the fastest or the most reliable. I hope one day somebody(american) makes a better car than the GT, on every level. I just don't think we are there yet.

[Gotta-Qik-C7]

I think this may be the car unless you want a true mid engine car to compete with the GT.......

[Mustangfan2003]

I've got to sit in a new C7.  Very nice interior a real step up from the previous gens.

Someone in town has a new Stingray in white. Never a big fan of white cars, but godalmighty it's gorgeous. 

[GoCougs]

1992 Viper = $50K
1992 Vette = $35K
1992 Vette ZR-1 = $60K

The only fair comparison is the Viper vs. ZR1 and they were about even.

Hello momma.

Same with white cars but I'm opening up to them.

White as a car color has really been growing on me

White is great on ice cream trucks, post office delivery vehicles and ambulances.  On anything else it's as exciting as, well............. vanilla ice cream.

White like cocaine

A '63 Pontiac Parisienne looks great in white.  Depends on the car.

[hotrodalex]

White is good on cars with crisp lines.

Yeah.  A lot of Lambos looks great in white.  I think it's one of the best colors for the C7.  Jag F-type looks really good in white as well.

You also need wheels that are a darker color.  Light silver, or polished/chrome, wheels generally don't really work with white, IMO.

Also on land yachts...

I kinda wish I painted my car satin white instead of black.

Boring. A pearl white like the FRS would be nice.
