I heard that it was featured on Top Gear just recently? Did anyone record it that can put it on Youtube?

I'm not saying that I'm fast, or had a fast car or anything...but my Z06 made 375/371, ran a quarter in 12.0, and this C7 made 416/416 but they only claim it will do a 12.0 1/4? And from what I saw from some magazine/website tests were more like 12.3-12.4? What am I missing? Is it because I had super cool hash marks?

It weighs more than the outgoing vettes but the lateral grip that it has is absurd for how little tire is on it. I cant wait to start seeing them out and about. I want to shoot one to see if i can make it look as good in a picture as it does in person.

Did you really ask that? The American version isn't ever worth considering. But then again...the British one in the beginning wasn't very good either...so maybe in due time.

I was just asking which version the C7 was on. Calm down there Wes lol, trust me I know which one is better, been watching the real one religiously for years. Seen every single episode, even the early ones from the early 90's.

Top Gear USA had it on last night. It wasn't really a valid test of anything; Tanner just thrashed it on a road course and then in a 4 block cordoned off area in Detroit where he turned all driver aids OFF and ran a street course through Detroit. Then again, the same course with all driver aids ON. It has a newer updated launch control and active management handling system Chevrolet says is "un-beatable" ON vs. OFF.

You could FK some people up with that car from a stop light and that new updated launch control system.

Lol I know. Was just messing around all theatrical-like.

Or as Matthias would say, "I like to type a lot."

I want to say MSRP on a Loaded Z51 Stingray without the Dealer Markup is supposed to be $55k.

In my opinion the new interior, aerodynamic and updated driver aid systems alone "easily" make the car worth that much in comparison to a C6 Z51.

Just read a Motor Trend Article that says the Z51 base is $55k, they had theirs loaded for $70k.

I think a lot of that has to now do with the hype. When they originally started talking prices this past spring it was supposed to be $55k. That may no longer be the case.

If that's the case I might want one. I hated my last vette but that thing is badass.
