C7 Corvette test video reviews are out!!!!

[quikag]

That is an awesome dyno chart. It looks like it hits VTEC around 5400rpm!

[46Tbird]

Surely he's after gas mileage, right?

And seriously LOL at 30 lb-ft at 2000rpm....

[STROKD]

3lt z51 was 3440 with 1/4 tank and the D1 which adds 100lbs if I am not mistaken..
with no driver ..
a buddy had a stock 09 3lt z51 car and it weight in @ 3320 with fumes

your dad must have the lightest 3lt z51 car ever. unless his car is a 1lt.

its a 1SB, has every option available besides nav and onstar. Dunno if 5s are lighter than 3LT cars, but it has the same style heated seats and shit. It had half a tank in it and my 200 lb ass. I might have been 180ish back in 2005 when I raced it, I cant remember.

Edit, Also D, the car is an auto, but it does only have 4 gears which HAS to be lighter than a 6L80.

You made me curious...


did you know there are people who actually care about the performance of Yarii (Yarises?)

Wow, that is one poorly jetted jetski!

I like that kit with the circle tail lights...the camaro tail lights look terrible, IMO. I'm interested to see of they come out with a z06 in the next couple of years.

Pretty sure a Hoveround could lay down a better arc than that.....and better numbers too.

I did get curious to see what they dyno stock and ran across some "modded" dyno charts once. Pretty stupid if you ask me. They dyno about 85 to 90 stock, lmao. It was absolutely perfect for SF, best purchase I made my entire time there (other than lots of TSCO) . In all honesty, it isn't that bad here. It's a nice little reliable commuter that I don't have to give 2 fucks about. If it had side airbags I'd probably keep it - the next year model got them standard. I'd be fucked if I got hit in that thing. I have the little 2 door hatch at about 2250 lbs. For the record, I have got it to hit 60 in 9.5 seconds. Zoom zoom.

i will have one in two years.. i think they look good!

[barronj]

Is it just me or does anybody else like having to get to know a car by driving it rather than the car just telling you what it can do? I remember the first time I pulled out onto a street in the rain in my mustang and ended up face first in on-coming traffic and learning something new about the car and just random experiences like that. I like cars being "raw" to an extent. Now, they're so sophisticated, a 5 year old could drive them if it had long enough limbs.

A 5 year old would never pass a driving test to get a license, and if they could, they still wouldn't get the license. :P

Still not into the style. Not grabbin' the hatchback look.

[Ratt]

I'm not 100% sold on the aesthetics yet, but it is definitely growing on me. Love the way it sounds. We are living in a golden age of automobiles, gentlemen. It hasn't been this good since the late 60's.

These are my exact thoughts. I couldn't have said it any better.

[Sgt Beavis]

I like it, but my next sports car is going to be a Jag F-type

so you havent liked Vettes since 2004?

[Blackpony]

That car is terrible!! Looks nothing like a corvette IMO

X2 and 7speed manual? Feel like your driving an 18wheeler I bet

It's all in the gearing, and not much different than getting used to a 6-speed after driving a 5-speed I'm sure. You just have to re-learn where each gear tops out at for downshifting at various speeds. As mentioned in the vid, 7th gear is more of an OD gear for the highway.
