make it easy on everyone...

either the Vette is has a VERY efficient drivetrain…or they under rated the new LT1 a little… If crank HP is 460 and they saw 416 at the wheels…that’s under 10% drivetrain loss. I understand there are variables with the chassis dyno…but still impressive!

I wish I had the cash....

I'm on the fence about the styling but I hear it looks good in person.

A friend has the second one in Charleston on order from Hendricks (so the salesman said), but GM hasn't started building it yet. Supposed to find out more tomorrow on its ETA. I don't think they have told him exactly what the "Market Adjustment Price" will be yet, but it will be at least 5k over sticker.

Didnt I read somewhere about the low end torque of this new engine is supposed to be like LS7 torque or some shit? Sure looks like normal LS2/LS3 torks to me. Hell maybe I'm wrong.

Nice! Get him out to C&C one Saturday so I can come take a look at it.

Lisa's father was looking at buying a new(ish) 911, but has been swayed towards the C7. He read one of the articles that compared it to some of the higher end sports cars and noticed it hung in there for a fraction of the cost. I think it is a great buy for the money.

Sounds like the new corvette has VTEC.

I want the performance of that car in something else that doesnt look like its from Star Trek. I cant stand how they look but could get behind the performance.

I'm sure we could find a monkey to drill some holes in the bumper for you... :mrgreen: :hide:

Stock LS7 Dynojet

LT1 dyno made 416tq.

pretty close, but lpe's graph has MPH x-axis, so I can't establish exact rpm, but it looks to be in the 4k range.

I saw one at the auto fair in concord this past weekend. It is good looking car.

Great looking car until you get to the back, IMO.

BIRDMAN 09-24-2013 09:30 PM

Not to beat a dead horse, but, I've also heard the back looks much better in person as well.

ahhhhhh so nice! Going to get a yellow one. Probley wait until the Z07 comes out, pick up a used stingray. Then instead of modding 2-3 years later pick up a Z07 myself.

If she's ugly in the light, she's still ugly with the lights off :mrgreen:
