New Vette

Got the priveledge to drive a new Vette yesterday. HOLY CRAP!!!! Even thought the HP isnt that much more than a Camaro the take off and performance is amazing (I know weight and all the factors why). Definately better than the previous models. Cant wait to see what the Z06 does.

Yea the new vette is awesome. I was at the dealership a few days back getting an oil change, And they had an electric blue one and a red one. I can't speak on performance, but they look absolutely stunning. They would have no problem sitting next to a porshe or ferrari. Pictures do not do the car justice, you really have to check it out in person.

Actually depending on which exhaust setup it had it has 29-34 more HP than the Camaro SS.

We had one in our shop last week. Exactly what someone said earlier, you have to see these in person!

+ 1, there is one in a parking lot near me and I go by that way just to check it out, it is the Laguna Blue and stunning.

That is one of the 500 made special editions, aka the 'suitcase' edition because it has all the options and also the leather corvette luggage.
Most of those are gone already.

Yessiree. The new C7 is downright awesome & stunning... a must see in-person and even more delightful behind the wheel. Blessed & humbled to have one. It looks great in EVERY available color too!



Even the base non-Z51 with no options is a HUGE bang for the buck... the LT1 is an excellent torque-rich engine!

I love the new Vette! We had Pfadt's C7 on the dyno when they first got it and it laid down 410 RWHP and 411 RWTQ bone stock! We have since had a couple others in as well.






Best regards,

The new Vettes are gorgeous!!!! Wish I had $60K to piss away, 'cause I'm not giving up my SS to get one.
