Why haven't you purchased a Corvette™ yet /o/? >3x

I can't afford it. Even if I could, I think I'd get an Evora 410 or F-Type R instead. It's just more unique, Corvettes are too common.

IM BROKE

My newest car was supposed to be a corvette but before I could save enough my DD got hit head on and totaled

So I now drive a stang gt and I dont mind

Because I already did

Btw, mileage is more like 30mpg but most of my driving is city, for z06 at least

>inb4 Big Willow

Because a Nissan is 1.4 seconds faster than a Corvette making a lap on a penis shaped track

>>16234702

The fuck happened to little willow?

>pulls more G's
whats up with this meme
it does not handle better than the 918

>>16234770
What's up with /o/ taking the OBVIOUS bait...

>>16234770
People think raw mechanical grip = handling

Which means a Challenger Hellcat handles as well as a Miata or BRZ

But we know that isn't true

If I were an Ameribro I'd probably own a Corvette

>>16234799
why is the z06 slower overal when it pulls more g's?

Seems slower in the faster corners and straights

>>16234809
because it uses pushrods

>>16234547
It's fucking ugly, C4 was last good looking Corvette.

>>16234814
doesnt the z06 make like 650hp and 600 at the wheels? Surely thats more than the GTR

Seems like the extra downforce actually slows it down in the straights and actually getting the power down because RWD

>>16234547
V8 is obsolete, its age of V6 now

>>16234822
Stock it puts down 585whp and 617wtq.

>>16234838
yeah because i love having engines that shake themselves to death and need forced induction to make any sort of power

Chuck a blower/Turbo on that v8 and you'll get 800hp+ reliably

Cause it's rwd, the gtr is awd so it has major advantage coming in and out of corners. Also the tested z06 was manual! Think about that, a rwd manual car is BARELY a second slower than a fucking automatic with awd.

But Anon, why would this matter is you A) Don't own either car and B) Don't drive on a track?

>>16234822
It does have more power, but the GTR's computer is significantly more sophisticated and knows when to adjust it's power throughout track conditions for optimal performance. This is why a 545 bhp car that weighs 3900+ lbs can run a quarter mile in the 10's.

>>16234838
Meh. Only single cam V8's are obsolete.

>>16234843
> implying the best V8's on the market today aren't boosted

>>16234852
GTR's computer, anon. It's a beast.

>>16234870
How built is your LS7 to put out 600hp+? They come with 505 bhp. Meaning it's making around 450 rwhp. You're not just tuning that engine to make 150+ more hp to the wheels or 100+ more to the crank. Also, the LS7 has an aluminum block, non-coated cylinders, and cast aluminum internals. Boosting it to the point of making real power gains would destroy it.

>>16234915
All cars depreciate off the lot unless it's seriously rare. And Z4M's are still 13 sec cars. I'd rather have a stock Cobra and run 12's. Quicker 0-60 as well. But, that's just me. Enjoy your Z4M. They are pretty good cars.

>>16235689
No you don't.

>>16235798
I'd disagree. 4 cam engines are master race of engines, regardless of number of cylinders.

Go to a big dealership, tell the salesman that your parents are buying you a new car for graduation, and you really want a manual, but don't know how to drive one just yet. If they say no, then try another dealership.

That's how I first learned how to drive stick. In a Cobra nonetheless. And good luck learning. Just remember, you're not going to destroy the car is you accidentally let it stall a couple of times.

Lets see the GTR get around a track without a trick pc running everything

>>16237830
Again, a system that takes a 3900+ lbs car with 545 bhp and makes it dip into the 10's in a quarter is absolutely amazing. Saying "let's see it be fast without it's computer" is like saying "let's see the C7Z be fast without it's ECU". Seriously, don't be dumb. No modern car would go anywhere without it's ECU without converting it back to 70's technology.

Have they released the 'Ring time for the Z06 yet?

>>16235437
I keep saying I don't give a fuck and just want to see the shitposting stop. I'm sure they're both fantastic cars. I have nothing against either. If GM made a car with the price point of the GTR I'm sure it'd have similar performance, but of course Thou Shalt Not Upstage The Corvette is still GM'S cardinal rule

a New Z06 costs as much as a GTR
