Still looks like an old n tired 'vette with some added sharp angles and stealing from other cars. I can see they stole from the GT-R rear extending the rear much lower and took the M3 hood bump. Still does not look young and dynamic but more like a sexagenarian fed on burger king. The body lines are way too complicated. It just look like the old vette with a cloak of jagged line on top. I admit I hate vettes and anything with a pushrod engine. But it would be a nice car for Grandpa.

Let me rephrase... they shouldn't have to adjust for inferior technology in the car Not saying the auto will be inferior. My point wasn't that a driver doesn't need to make on-track adjustments (we both know that is part of the fun) but it shouldn't be because the manufacturer put a less than optimal transmission in a car as capable as the Z06 (again, not saying this is what will happen).

Sold the E36 and the buyer made it into a true race car... it was a fantastic car and I loved every minute of it. Best track car I have ever driven. Sold it to make room for the C7. Still second guessing myself on that. |

Yeah depends on your goals. Put a little into the c7 and it should deliver smiles for miles!

you don't agree but your reply has the naïveté of an 8 year old, except they will learn but you never will. Yeah, many people hate vettes. I do. I would get a high revving V10 DOHC or V12 anytime over a modified tractor engine. You bought a 135i ? ...don't waste my time, boy.

One more thing. If you bring your M3 to any track in the north east, i am willing to bet, i will beat your punk ass with my 135i. |

Hopefully you don't get lapped by one of those modified tractor engines the next time you are at the track... Considering there are few cars that will be able to keep up with it (including most of your V10/12 engines), I would think my prediction is pretty accurate. I hate those tractor engines too Last edited by gthal; 02-09-2014 at 05:26 PM.. |

Ah geez, this is a z06 thread. No m3 on 135 challenges! Its a draw you both lose.

If you feel as you stated about power above you have some serious learning to do. Power is a very fundamental physics/physics concept as it torque. When something is being driven rotationally both are always present. However, vehicle performance is ALL ABOUT power (power to weight, of course). You do realize that you can double (or any other amount you like) the torque an engine puts out at the crank and if you do not increase the power, the car will accelerate identically? You CAN NOT do that with power. Without also knowing gearing, torque at the crank is utterly useless in determining vehicle performance. I kindly suggest reading one of the many epic debates/conversations here on this forum about the topic. I really am going to bite my tongue and won't discuss this further until you have bothered to do so.

No it's cool bro, the vette formula just feels ancient to me. Imagine in the future if progresses in genetics and biocells biotechnology can recreate a live dinosaur. That's how i feel when I see any vette including this stingray zo*. To me chevy's have always followed the principle "if it's not broken, don't fix it" as an excuse for serving the same old tired cars for 30 years. Obviously muscle cars satisfy some drivers. It's a lot like those body builders that inject steroids. Looking big, lifting heavy but look at a fighter it's not about the max weight he can bench. The same for cars trying to have the biggest numbers on tq and hp. Those vettes/stingray is like a prehistoric specie that should already have become extinct and living on borrowed time.
