First 2014 Corvette at the strip.

[slow99]

Our C7 made 398/388 bone stock with 28 miles on the odometer and 220* coolant temps. After a tune it made 330/325. Not too bad bone stock. We just lowered it yesterday, tinted the windows, took off some of the badging and tinted the amber lights on the front bumper corners. We have an extra set if LT1 heads we're going to get ported, spec a few cams for it, try out some different headers to see what it can do with simple mods.

I'd take it to another tuner.

I'm impressed. You gotta figure the base/auto is probably the slowest C7 offering, so it will only get better as other models hit the dragstrip. Not to mention each of these cars will easily exceed 1+G and look good doing it.

And as mentioned before, you have to assume a shop will sandbag a bit to show larger improvements when they start bolting their crap on it.

Unless confirmation of sandbagging I wasn't impressed at all. Mainly because of this:

My car has been 12.2 @ 114.5 without a tune, without a CAI, and slammed on 20s. I'll just wait until it's out of drivetrain warranty (80k miles) before I do anything to it.

I read that twice and still was confused...lol

That is with a few passes under belt, and going balls to the wall. That Vette looked like it was headed to the grocery store.

But Vette's auto is supposed to be better than any driver! lol

That's funny, I meant 430/425!

Ugly and slow - pass

I was thinking about selling off a couple of cars to buy me one dem dare Vettes, but the stock rwhp is the same as my 2012 GT and its double the price, fuck that! And the price of loaded Vette is GT500 money and the make right at 600/600 to the wheels. GM has lost their mind...

[SEB]

Their ugly as shit & don't care for the dash setup! For that kind of money they better outrun a new 5.0 with ease & be able to run some high to mid 11s stock

[SSMAN]

You would think with the Hennessey name plastered on it, it would run a lot better? Not too impressed with performance. But it looks good.

They are waiting until the Hennessey name is plastered all over it, THEN it will run better. See what they're doing there?

[slow99]

Anyone betting it'll be dead even with a 5.0 around a road course?

A no-option Z51 + magnetic shocks + 7 speed manual(MSRP of ~$56k) should wipe the floor with a 5.0 Mustang, even a Boss with equal drivers.

... but a Fox with 5K... don't even try to argue!

There's more to a car than raw HP numbers, the rev matching on downshifts has my interest piqued, and the driving experience has to be decidedly different than that of a Mustang.

If straight-line speed is your only metric, than by all means the GT500 is the way to go, but I'd have to drive both before deciding the better value.

Nevermind me though, I'm just a piddly little M3 owner trying to justify my existence.
