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.

Chevy gives a manual 2.0T for a week this time...
Subaru does test and says....

Camaro is the better handler than mustang, hands down!
