[Official] C7 Corvette Thread

[daisuke149]

overall, i dont think price should play into car comparisons so much. It should depend on the market / intent of the car.

You compare the GTR to a 911 turbo S and the ferrari's etc because thats the goal Nissan set out for.

The ZR1 is the competitor for the GTR, not the base corvette.

Its like comparing the bmw m3 to the v6 stang, when really the boss is the m3 competitor. Why would you do that?

i guess im just throwing you all off since my comparisons are my personal choices and not staying with in your per-ordained "classes"

but technically you saying GTR should be with the 911 and ferrari that actually is basing it a bit on price.

No, its not based on price at all. Its based on the performance benchmark that Nissan set out to beat.

I dont care about your personal preferences. State that you would rather have a GTR is fine. But when you say the GTR costs 15k more than a 75k base corvette is the ******** because the base corvette isnt 75k and a new GTR isnt 90k.

sorry, a z51 with equipment options is a base corvette still.

a v6 mustang with nav is still a base mustang.

Z51 will have all the performance upgrades (magnetic ride, selectable performance modes, etc...) which are not some interior upgrades so therefore NOT base. i mean thats a pretty simple concept to grasp and alot more than just NAV which i think the BASE will come with already.

just saying....

Z51 is like a sport package 370Z. Not exactly a different "model".

yes but more money. it's a options package, an upgrade, etc...

is this concept that hard? i dont feel like i'm speaking in tongues when i said the Z51 will be more money with much more parts and options that the base will not have.
