I can be your witness....you did clean that and I was proud of you....sounded like a bowl of rice crispies you moving through that stage but the shooting was impressive grin


You go ahead and buy that vette...the one thing it does is expose all your BS reading being a broke retired guy. wink

nlike the supercharged V-8 in the previous-generation GT, the new car is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 engine that is similar to the one found in the Ford F-150 Raptor. Pumping out 647 horsepower and 550 lb-ft of torque, the V-6 is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. In our testing, it launched the rear-wheel-drive GT to 60 mph in just 3.0 secondsand through the quarter-mile in 10.8 seconds at 134 mph. Piloting the GT is surprisingly easy, and the big car feels light and agile from behind the wheel. Despite its performance potential, the ride isn't as punishing as you might imagine; the suspension doesn't get choppy over minor bumps, but it'll still transmit harsh impacts through to the cabin.

the GT is still a beast.

Huge difference. One is $60k and one is $250+
Personally I like the look and tech of the C8 vs the GT.


That said my buddy has a few GTs, one is the first Gulf Blue prototype that was presented to Gulf when Ford wanted to do a throwback car. It was then bought by Steve Saleen and he kept in his private collection till my buddy bought it from him. He then had it twin turboed by Heffner, over 1100hp. [Linked Image]

That’s because they wanted to follow the mad hype back in the early ‘00’s for the Ford GT to run the streets. I feel the Vettes are upsetting when they race, rarely to they win Class

I will say GM has finally made a Corvette that looks good and sporty and sexy.

I have been less than impressed with the vettes since the early 80's, they look lame compared to most sports cars.

Dealers are already taking orders AND saying they reserve the right to price these over MSRP

Not for me, I'll wait till they are at least selling for sticker
