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:
But those things (basic suspension, cheap plastic, Cheap HP V8, etc.) is what makes the car affordable. The Base starts at $50000/32000 pounds and you get a car that is as fast as a Ferrari 360, BMW M5 E39, Lotus Exige, Cayman S, and 911 Carrera S (997).

Then you get up to the Z06 which for $75000/47000 pounds is as fast as the F430, the 911 GT3, the Audi R8 V8, the lower level Gallardo, The Mercedes SLS AMG, and Ford GT.

Then its the big boy. The ZR1 which is priced at $111000/70000 pounds which is as fast as Koenigsegg CCX, Carrera GT, MurciƩlago LP640, Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, SLR McLaren, 430 Scuderia, and Nissan GT-R.

The Corvette is cheaper than all the cars except the GT-R which is $90000/57000 pounds. It doesn't matter that it is made worse what matters is that it goes as fast as cars that can double its price tag easily. If your looking for a daily driver I would recommend a different car than a supercar. :P

Ok I'll re-phrase it,
It is a car with a lot of potential, and If I bought one I would set aside 20G's or so to get rid of the GM 'quirks'.
Chevrolet needs some thing like an AMG arm, for people who don't know what finger followers are, and can't build their own car!

lol, something along those lines, but with prototypes... It would basically be something else that wasn't as good...

If you took a Corvette, gave it modern suspension, a more advanced, efficient and powerful engine, and made the interior look like it's from a supercar, not a supermini, perhaps than I'd like it, but as long as GM keeps cutting corners, and the ALMS team keeps hitting and blocking their way down the track, I'll never like Corvettes.

P.S. Corvette Racing lost any love from me after Fellows, then O'Connell retired, those two were bosses.

High tech doesn't mean good Carlsons ;)

Yes, the engine and the suspension are "old school", but the way these genius (because they are) brought them up is beyond what you guys will ever see... I already made my point on the engine (it HAS to keep a big V8, obviously you never heard a proper rev from those and without that it's not a Vette) and the suspension is sublime really, every test drivers acclaim it...

The interior ? I think this looks quite nice really:

Spoiler: click to toggle


And yes, the ALMS team has some bad points to their record, but aside some obvious mistakes it's not that bad, I think you hallucinate some dirty driving really... I'm not saying they never did it, but compared to some other teams...

I'm going to hit you with a drag tire if you don't shut up about them Ricky, then we'll see how much you like them.

I like drag tyres... We'd actually have to pit in races instead of waiting for fuel to burn :P

Tacky interior is tacky. Totally underwhelming interior there.

I'm not buying all the fuss about drag tyres

I never seen so much crap talked about one manufacturer in my life... :-/

Chevrolet aren't as great as people make them out to be, not just because they're made primarily of plastic or have prehistoric suspension or whatever. I can't actually look at a Corvette and think it looks nice without a spoiler perched on the back of it - it's like the finishing touch to a car. Without it, I suppose it looks like a woman without breasts really, even if you'd consider breasts to be near the 'ass' of the car?

And before any one thinks I don't like the Corvette solely because of the rear wing, then that's not the only reason. A few of them other reasons have been expressed already by other members.

the corvette racing car was only good pre 2010(or 2009) when they changed the rules for GT thus making it slower than the 430(or even the 458)and the porsche flying lizard.
*this post makes no sence or does it?*

No, no, I think the Corvette racing car is very good! Any of the top GT cars are fantastic pieces of machinery, the GT2 cars are actually developed to the extent where they are faster than GT1 cars... I think its right up there, perhaps a little more power than the Fezza and Porsche, but nowhere near the advantage the BMW has, which is silly.


ANYWAY about that thing which is the FM4 discussion - Hayley, with some sexy makeup on is coming up ;)


I love how Jonny and I say the same things at the same time XD
