NARC (Not A Real Corvette)
>>28930258Has anyone seen a C1 Corvette in person? It really is a good looking car. It's too bad the owners never drive them.
what’s a „real“ corvette to begin with?its always been a larping shitbox
>>28930258I mean it does the job of advertising to the world that you're poor, but you wish you were rich, perfectly so in my books it's exactly a corvette.
>>28930260Slow piece of shit.
>>28930262It's literally Maybach tier expensive
Yup, this is the only real one.
>>28930262Yet you can't afford one and I can. Step aside brokefag
>>28930303I can buy at least 6 of them in cash right now, but it would be monumentally stupid to waste that kind of money on an asset that does nothing. Plus I have a new miata and I'm not going back to 3600lb pig fat cars.
>>28930260we don't talk about the C1
>>28930258>>28930260>>28930295This thread is now a Corvette porn thread
I want it
>>28930262It's a boomer thing. My dad is 71 and has always owned Corvettes, he drove a C8 from Florida to Canada and back again the madman
>>28930330whats his fav gen?
>>28930319Dye your hair white, wear a short sleeve plaid shirt, cargo shorts and New Balances and you might be able to manifest one.
>>28930308>He has 500k cash liquid So dumb
>>28930330The C8 Corvette is the most soulless but it's also the best daily driver of any Corvette ever. My favorite is still the C6 ZO6 personally.
>>28930258Cute angry Pokémon
>>28930264Everything from its era was slow
>>28930264>>28930445A 1962 Corvette 327 is faster than a 2026 GR86.
>>28930368>ignores zr1
>>28930308
>>28930258How so? Because it's mid engined? The Vette was always supposed to me a mid engined car but it never came to be.
>>28930498The C6 ZR1 wasn't super good.The power is largely un-useable.And just added weight.Meanwhile a LS7 Z06 with CNC heads and a camshaft can make LS9 power all motor
>>28930260I knew a boomer, retired mil officer, with one 15-20 years ago. Saw him drive it. He used to complain that he couldn't go anywhere without people chatting him up ("my uncle had a C3, he's now in the pen and I start it now an-"), asking to buy it, taking pics when he's in places, etc.. He claimed that 1/2 times he parked it in public for more than a few minutes there would be hand-written offers to buy it under the windshield, probably only slightly exaggerated.
>>28930524the C6 Z06 and ZR1 had identical weight (3300 lbs). only the 2005 z06 weighed 3100 lbs, but it didn't have magnetic ride and a host of other features that made the vettes comparable to exotics.
>>28930524I like ZR1 a lot, it had the fancier magneride suspension and updated aero used to homologate the later C6.R GT race cars.That stuff was optional on the Z06 as the Z07 or carbon package but those are probably super rare.
>>28930524>not prefering the supercharged onelooks mittens, a faggot
>>28930260The later quad headlights C1s are really ugly but boomers love them
The c8 is the most real corvette there is. The rest are just overpriced camaros lmao
>>28930262Board tourist here. What's with all the foaming at the mouth hatred of the Vette? There's another thread up where someone is just repeating "a vette never went 250" over and over on a thread about the Callaway.
>>28930338And then he can put a Chinese turbo on it and have an 800 horsepower whip for 30 grand.
>>28930556This board is largely angry men 25-55. We fight a lot, we troll a lot. Fighting each other is a form of friendship.Someone is going to shit on anything here, and they may not even be serious about it.
>>28930258It's also not a real Lambo.
>>28930533I've had multiple C6 Z06 and ZR1 on my InterComp billet scales.Z06s are always 200lbs+ lighter Better weight bias as well.Ls7 with a BIG camshaft like a Katech Track Attack attack, can make 600rwhp.More power than you'd ever need on track >>28930539Superchargers are for retards Literally NPC morons who are poor and stupid
>>28930533>the C6 Z06 and ZR1 had identical weight (3300 lbs). only the 2005 z06 weighed 3100 lbs,Did you mean '04 Z06? There was no Z06 in '05, that was the first year of the C6, you could only get Z51.
>>28930258That's not what narc means, dummy.
>>28930539>not preferring the big motor
>>28930624>Ls7 with a BIG camshaftthe technical term is hog ass cam
>>28930624Z06 with a mild Cam can hit almost 600rwhp, zero boost. Mine is 597 and I chose a very mild cam. The LS7 is an incredibly good platform.
>>28930455>A dedicated sports car is faster than a sports themed commuter car
>>28930624>>28930624c6 zr1 hits over 800hp with just a pulley and some breather mods. stock cam.you guys don't know anything about cars, and it shows.
>>28931625Kek. Tell that to the gr86 copers. Also that's a difference of 64 fucking years.
>>28930258C8 is legit amazing hope you all get a chance to drive one. The Z06 is probably the better car in most generation vs the ZR1 imo. It’s lighter simpler and the one they usually homologated the GTLM and GT3 cars from. Quite like GTS vs Turbo or M3 vs CSL or something. I’ve never even seen a ZR1 at a track day. And yes a ZR1 C6 is really a scary car for non professionals imo. Z06 is bad enough.
>>28930295how many of them did they make?
>>28930261A real Corvette has flowing, sensual lines that aren't broken and jagged. It has a long, sloped front end, every single model. It is simple and cheap, very light, very powerful, classic muscle car engine in a car light and aerodynamic enough to use all the power properly. Basically the entire appeal.It has a pushrod V8
>>28930525this is one of the big downsides of owning any interesting/classic car that people dont talk enough about
