That is another reason I questioned the validity of the article and he just got a ticket for careless drive...I call BS on that. You get to go straight to jail for reckless endangerment!

I had the same thought process, but went even further. I have a perfectly good, better looking sports car than the Corvette, so I will just keep my Z and possibly go FI if I ever want to track it.

i'll agree to disagree but no way is the z a better performer than the c7. i like my z but you just can't compare the two honestly

idk about that.

a boosted Z with more HP than a Vette with same maybe even less weight.......could be pretty close.

could always find someone with each and do a test.

i didn't say boosted... i'm talking about a stock z and a stock c7... a boosted z should take care of regular c7 no questions asked lol.

njobe89 04-15-2016 01:57 PM

now a boosted z vs a c7 z06 would be a nice race to see

that was the point being made in the post above yours hence my post.

stock for stock it's not even close. C7 will eat the Z lol 130 more HP and roughly the same weight. toss on the magnetic suspension too.

with bolt ons on our z they don't have that much more but still would beat us lol. i see them brand new for 49k and then slightly used with a couple thousand miles still 49k lol.. i was hoping there would be a used one for a lot less but i guess they aren't that old yet.

I wouldn't waste a penny on a non-Z51 C7 though.

njobe89 04-15-2016 02:12 PM

a used one is doable, but a brand new one i would save up a little more and pull the trigger on a z06

a Z51 3LT at 49k is something you should buy.

for me however it'll be more.

2015 or newer because I want the auto and the 14 tranny is awful. 2015 they added the 8L90 tranny.

also I want CF interior and CF roof with Competition seats.

Lol, one the Fast Intentions TT Nismo's at 650whp went up against a c7 z06 in a half mile event and the vett lost even though it jumped the start. The Z's top speed was 162 and the vett was 158.

My point being is that the Z is much better looking than a Corvette and they are both sports cars. I use my Z as a DD street car which I have fun driving every second. I guess if I wanted to spend $100K on a car I would go for the Z06, but to me I am not sure if it would be that much more fun. Around here Corvettes are a dime-a-dozen, mostly driven by old dudes; Zs on the other hand are rare and beautiful!

If I ever decided to track a car, I can just boost the performance of the Z and have all sorts of fun then. The best part is I can spend all that dough on the performance mods instead of getting into a more expensive car. It's going to get trashed anyway.

What would your plans be for a Corvette?

I don't know how you can even consider a Z51 corvette knowing the Grand Sport is here? The normal vette is NOT good looking. Those subtle treatments on the GS/Z06 make 10 world's of difference in the looks department.

I think the Z has two things going for it. Hydraulic steering which provides loads of feedback that these newer cars don't have and... A smaller more tossable size.

Newer always seems so much better until...

Not saying corvette isn't amazing. But there are trade offs. The type of trade offs so.e may not be willing to sacrifice. You will definitely get a faster car with a vette.
Go with a GS and you get 1.2g of lat accel grip.

That said. The GS is on my test drive/buy list.

It won't pass $70k. The supercharged version is $79k entry price. Maybe optioned out it will be $85k but it will start at $70,000 or less.

2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Specs Release date and Price


I don't know why Chevy shows a car in March, they're not planning to sell till November. By the time they're ready to sell. 3 more companies put out rivals. The gap shouldn't be longer than 6 months but...

15/19mpg on a 640hp car is amazing! I'm guessing driving hard still gets you 300 miles on the tank.
The suspension tuning on these cars is unreal for the price. I'm just amazed. What angers me though...

Visibility is already limited. Why make the gauge pod so fvckin high.... like really. You made the most low slung muscle car in existence which is AWESOME!!! And made a gauge cluster that completely obstructs the outward visibility. Like I don't get that GM? SO... can you even push this car to the limit with confidence? That's my question.

njobe89 04-20-2016 11:52 AM

that is crazy.. i sat in the new camaro and had a hard time seeing.

CAMARO V6 MUFFLER DELETE

https://youtu.be/PiEebe_BY-I

Probably, the best sounding v6 on the market right now with a SIMPLE muffler delete. Really sounds like an exotic. I honestly would feel completely respectable in this fine automobile in a v6. It's an amazing car.

Next gen, when they completely sort out ergonomics and perfect the styling. The camaro will be the supreme car, period. I just hope Chevy figures out how to put feedback in the steering wheel. Chevy does have miniscule feedback. So let's see.... Chevy, I'm truly amazed.

I finally have seen the new Camaro in person and I have to say I am very disappointed. The rear-end looks cool, but overall the word that comes to mind is "bloated". It didn't help that it was white.

You finally seem one after all this time? Lol.

It's leaner than the last gen.... White is it's weakest color vs last gen, it was it's stingray color.

Grey blue orange and red wake this car up. Also not having a base car helps too.

Agree. I bet the average person can't tell a difference between the current and last gen.

AWESOME GAS MILEAGE TEST!!!

https://youtu.be/BQZWmM18O00

Though the Camaro computer is off by a moderate margin.

The car claimed a use of 3.9 gallons of gas over an approximate 104 miles getting 26.5mpg.
The car really turned out 4.5 gallons at 23.3mpg.

Considering there's 460hp underage hood. Anything over 18mpg is a miracle. A+ camaro. I get 15.9mpg in my Z. Lol 20mpg, driving like my great grandma. Lol

If you plan on getting a ZL1? Don't forget to open a separate bank account for tires. Line lock feature = burnout mode.

2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 First Look Review - Motor Trend

St 640/640hp-tq and 3,850lbs which was the weight of the last few 1le... This thing should be able to haul serious azz.

Add in that it will have its own programmable launch control and will have a line lock feature built in. This car is going to be hard to beat by anything out there in terms of value. With an estimated price of $60K to start. This car will be a serious contender.

njobe89 07-13-2016 01:29 PM
