Sure, the Corvette road cars are fairly good on a track, but they're terrible cars to drive on the roads, they're quite uncomfortable on the road or track, and they're plastic, which is never a good sign. They're cheap, but so is a Big Mac, and I'd rather have a steak than one of them.

Actually they're more comfortable than the typical track car so...

Also, what's the matter with the plastic ? It just spreads the energy better on impact... And it isn't the typical plastic either... I don't think I've ever heard "A Caterham is a poop car because it's all plastic !"

ACTUALLY ALL SHUT UP. (I realise you already have...)

My dad had a Lotus Elise. It was a fantastic car.

It was made of plastic.

A Lotus Elise may be made out of plastic, but its used properly - i.e. it doesn't way over 1.5 tonnes!

The Elise is a great car indeed :wub:

By the way James, as far as I know a Z06, although made from plastic which is heavier than carbon and also having a 7.0L V8, is lighter than a 458 ? (200lbs lighter in fact)

Just sayin' :P

I forgot, plastic is in part used to minimize costs, which is why Corvettes and Elises are "inexpensive"

I feel the Corvette is a waste of a car! It could of been so much better! But the Designers were lazy/skint!
The Suspension is pretty basic, no computers are good but...
500hp from a 7.0 liter engine you've just thrown away all the weight saved from plastic, In uni we've built 1L V4 bike engine over 500, they not for road cars but still!

I just can't respect the car when so much is wasted! It creates half of it's own problems!


How did we end up back at corvette!
Ruckus stop Hijacking the thread to talk aboout Corvettes :glare:

It's a pretty light engine really, also extremely well built and reliable... Aswell as inexpensive...

You can use it in monstruous supercars, in Baja buggy and other crazy stuff... Without it ever breaking down...

Heck, you can even get 1200hp out of it without it giving a sweat ;)
