Them Corvettes hard as a mf

[TRFG]

No one but old southern rednecks and bamas are checking for that shyt.

Spending 50k plus on a American car Even General Motors would be laughing at your dumbass

You missed the point of my post.

I pointed out that American sportscar engineering is lacking and has been subpar at best for years.

The example I gave of a 3.4 million dollar car showed impeccable car engineering that domestic based car companies clearly can't match regardless of the price tag of the vehicle.

If you wanna go with same or similar price rage as a 2016 corvette I'd take a:
BMW i8
Alfa Romera 4C Spider
Nissan GTR

Over the Corvette any day of he week in my humble opinion.

Corvette would whoop all of them tho...shyt 05 Ford Gt would probably dog them too

What is lacking about the Corvette's engineering?

- All-aluminum frame
- Extremely low center of gravity
- Front mid-engined chassis
- All-aluminum engines with Direct Injection, VVT, and low weight
- Rear transaxle
- Available dry sump oiling
- Available carbon ceramic brakes
- Available mag shocks (pioneered by GM and now used by Ferrari, Audi, and others)
- 7 speed manual, 8 speed auto with 10 speed auto coming in the next year.

And really, both the Z51 and Z06 have decimated their competition over the past 3 years at the track.

I've driven the C2, C4, C5, C6, and C7 Corvettes not to mention owning a '99 myself for 4 years.

I'll put them against anything in their price and even up to $30K above.

For the money and the amount of muscle you get out of a vette ....it's a solid car.
Even compared to the super sports car, muscle wise it's something to deal with, but the quality of the body, design, and interior are subpar.
I'm a gear head tho, I drive a v8 g8gt so....

I wanna trade my v6 for the Gt.I see so many high milage and high priced tho

 

[MoneyTron]

I've driven cars from every Euro make outside of Bugatti and Alfa. The C7 Z51/GrandSport/Z06 are still very good cars in comparison.

C7 is damn near a supercar for 60-70k....There is nothing comparable in that price range, except maybe a GT500 but nobody wanna drive that shyt.

 

[Clark Wayne]

Dudes really going hard over whether or not black people drive Corvettes.

Only on the fukking Coli

 

[RatherUnique]

Literally never seen anyone under 50 in a C7. Usually you see the car then some white haired dude driving it. Almost without fail.

 

[prince_peoples]

[ORDER_66]

I wanted to get a camaro but heard the visibility was terrible, I ain't trying to drive that on a LA freeway, I would die

They have it priced that way because it's a rare model.
If it's below 80k miles and has a good carfax...get it. It's a GM engine, LS at that.... they don't die. I'm gonna drop 4 racks on mine this year. Longtube headers and a suspension upgrade, and 93 octane tune, wide tires. Net 460 wheel horse power brehs.

You aren't getting 460whp from a tune and headers unless you have an LS7 or LT1 under the hood.

I can't get with the shape of newer Vettes.

Give me a '68 though.
