And I can do 1.2G in any direction with my 4C. Due to its weight and amazing stock braking, on a tight course I’ve even passed an F458 (but not on a straight, obviously). That doesn’t make it a discount Ferrari, although the looks and attention the car gets are on par.

I have the utmost respect for what Chevrolet has done (took them 50 years to get there, mind you) in the C7. Hoping that the C8 is an equally impressive step forward for the platform. Although I think it might be wise to wait for the bugs to be worked out. Going to a mid engine layout is a huge leap for any manufacturer.

In the end, it is a Chevy, and I stand by my comments on build quality. I’ve owned enough of them. Probably more than 30 between personal and the fleet I manage at work. No, none of those are Corvettes, but I don’t see any reason to suspect that they are any better than what I’ve had experience with (from minivans to pickups, Cadillacs, and C5500’s).
I want what you're smoking... Lol. Im sure the cold air is thin in Canada. You realize the Alfa 4c as well as the giulia was designed by Ferrari engineers. Ferrari characteristics in an inexpensive production car??? Right? But anyway. It really doesn't matter. If your opinion is to Trump facts. That's fine. You got in the american liberal movement.

Oh and yes, your Alfa gets 1.2g cuz of a Ferrari engineer. You're welcome!

What has politics got to do with the topic? Absolutely nothing (say it again).

It was a joke... It wasn't like I was giving an actual political opinion. The word Trump was an unintended pun. Lol.

Anyway... Back to the corvette. The ZR1 ECM was cracked. 1000hp easily... Here we come.

How many things they're going to break to get to 1000hp?

Good question... They cracked the ECM. Let's see if it cracks the car?

Wouldn't be the first joke I didn't get. Probably won't be the last.

Well the point was... The c4 was actually designed to compete against the Ferrari daytona as it's budget competition This is fact. Like the Z benchmark was the Cayman.

The opinion here being delivered as fact is the corvette and Ferrari can't compare as a performance competitor.

So my joke was based on our current events but not wholly as a political debate. Just anticdotal humor with a subpolitical edge. Not a true political instigation. Lol.

Ok hopefully we can now get past this..
