this isnt some hivemind and you dont have to be excited for anything you autistic dick knuckle

It's just a big expensive advertisement for Ecoboost. I don't think anybody in the real world really gives a fuck.

GM is too busy making money off of Faux Rednecks with dem ditymaxes and ripping off geezers who want corvettes because "Muh Heritage' and in 1966 they bought a new one after cashiering all summer long.

>>16380246
Car companies exist to profit. Halo vehicles are not a necessity.

"Even competing" doesn't matter as far as performance goes. Near zero people race cars. Let that sink in. Of the people who drive and enjoy automobiles a less than microscopic number street race and even smaller number do track days. It's as irrelevant to life as Gnome vs KDE vs i3/

>>16380128
I'm in the real world and I can confirm I do not give a fuck about this car.

none of that matters as its a homologation special
do you know what that means, gmfangirl? probably not... seeing as gm has never competed in real motorsports

>>16380328
And yet the argument goes on, because just like /g/, this board is a cesspool of social rejects and abject failures with little better to do than unsheath their keyboards and go to war for their chosen brand.

>>16380585
Corvette Racing has been at Le Mans and the ALMS (in the exact same class the GT is competing in) every year since 1999. If GM has never been to real motorsports, the GT hasn't either.

You can say a lot of things about their antics there but to say they weren't even there is so ludicrous it can't even be demeaned as bait. If stupid was a shotgun you'd be a 2 gauge.

Here we see people who are arguing against points I never made. Stay classy.

You can argue about the quality of their stay but it is indisputable that they were there and these three know it.

>>16381874

>Overall Le Mans wins: 0
Ah, friend, this is a dishonest use of statistics. Sure, Ford has a few of those under their belt, but that was at a time where GT cars ruled the roost, when such a design could work: That, of course, is no detriment to Ford's successes, but you can't dodge the point that by the time the Corvette entered the scene, that time was over. 1999 was the end of the GT class' hopes for an overall win- indeed, by then, the leading GT cars were little more than closed-top LMPs and/or bad attempts at flying cars anyway.

The new GT will never win Le Mans outright. The environment simply isn't there for it to be. P1s will dominate the leaderboard until they are shitcanned or something even crazier comes along- and so, when comparing GT class competitors, overall wins are absolutely useless.

As for F1 and WRC, GM never competed in those. Try Indy and NASCAR.

>>16380110

>>16381940
Gltm isn't shit by itself and that's all gm has
Ford has competed in top class of le mans And dominates, wrc, virtually every touring car series across the world...

Again, gt is holomogation and the corvette doesn't even share engine with production model...
Gm can't hold a candle to ford in any kind of racing

>>16381953
yes, i do

>>16381959
btfo, gm won't recover

>>16381953
Of course. I'm a man of facts, and those are the facts.

GM has never won Le Mans. But the Corvette CX.R wasn't, isn't, and never will be the machine to do that. Asking a GT car to win outright today is asking a fish to climb a tree.

That's because F1 and Group B both had shortly lived insane years where GM/Ford/Dodge might have entered if they continued for longer.

Good WRC years, the only US competitor was ford and that wasn't even really US ford considering it was a focus.


How about modern interesting shit, like trophy trucks and V8 supercars

>>16381991
1982, with the Ascona. Huh.

Opel has been held since 1929.

>>16381995
By what metric? Corvette Racing has been incredibly competitive in the GT class for it's tenure, taking 8 class wins at Le Mans and giving even Aston Martin a run for their money. The GT gives some new competition, but it's too early to say whether the C7.R really can't keep up at all. They crashed out, after all.

Not an argument. The 05' GT literally uses a truck engine.

I love the Orginal GT40 and 00's GT but this thing is completely pointless and generic

Its just a wank platform to piss and moan about their "NEW ECOBOOST V6 WOW TURBOS ARE SO NEW" oh shit its not like every other carmaker in the last 50 years hasnt been dicking around with turbos.

If it has the hybrid meme crap that isnt KERS based it will suck a fuck

oh wow Ferrari called from 30 years ago they want their F40 back

>>16382165
The GT isn't a hybrid, just a carbon fiber super car with a 600hp+ twin turbo v6 so it shouldn't be that heavy

>>16382174
this

>>16382178
It was meant to be a hybrid, which would've made the <600hp V6 less pathetic when paired up with 100-150hp of electric motor.
Then they decided not to, and now refuse to state how heavy it is.

>That's every super car ever made since they're really the only ones that can afford them
Except for how the last GT, you know, the real one, sold for $150k and was affordable by any normal person who works hard and already owns a home.

This pathetic 2WD GTR is in sandnigger only money for no reason.

And no, 'hurr carbon' isn't a reason. The 4C doesn't cost 600 billion dollars.

I bet you get hard watching your wife get ploughed by literally anybody with a quarter.

You cant even explain why they are better

>Unbalanced as fuck

>>16382178
600hp+ really isnt that much these days though

>>16382199
it will be like the 4C then

It's not 1967 any more, they're not.
>Not much shorter than a V8
They're a good 20% shorter.
>and you almost always have to use forced induction to make up for the lack of power
No shit a typically smaller engine requires forced induction to make comparable power.
>thereby making it weigh only slightly less than the V8 and just as hard to package and more complicated
Only partly true. Slightly lighter, but easier to package as you don't have to conform to the fixed configuration of an engine block. Turbos fit where ever you need them to.

An argument doesn't comprise of repeating the exact same thing to someone too stupid and too stubborn to grasp it. Generally there's a back and forth that you have so far been completely incapable of sustaining. Proclaiming victory only shows how little you grasp reality.

I asked you a question: in what way is GM supposedly unable to compete? And I still haven't gotten an answer. I was under the assumption that your (likely drastically undersized and/or retarded) brain was still processing that and let it be.

Looks like I was wrong to assume that you could be any smarter than your pet rock. That's /o/ these days, I guess.
