>>29058593Based and v8 pilled, all that little 4cyl and 6cyl is junk especially for a street car, fuck the Burger King btw
>>29058593That corvette looks gay as fuck.
>>29058598I was an import guy for many years. Still have a 1st gen eclipse gsx and lancer evo 2, but everything besides a v8, preferably Chevy v8 just doesn’t hit right My last car was a ct4v blacking, but the 6 cylinder was soooo boring, I got tired of the car in less than a year and got my c7z >>29058599Checked. Post car
>>29058593Im sure you are the star of the show at the local gloryhole when you arrive in your gayvette
>>29058609I drive a corolla. But I still know that corvette looks gay as fuck.
>>29058614>>29058616The type of niggas who eat peanut butter off a spoon and brush their teeth with their eyes closed.
>>29058620Type of nigga to open his wallet and have flies come out
>>29058620Sick burnBehind the power of the c7z. It makes people angry and shid and fart, it does make the girls wet though.
>>29058593I call the Corvette the bailout mobile, on account they wouldn't be around if GM didn't get bailed out.
How do you guys feel about matte black?
>>29058620You're supposed to eat peanut butter in a sandwich
>>29058620i eat nutella off a spoon does that count?
>>29058593If they're so good why does nobody hoon them?A proper sports car will make you want to put your foot to the floor and get it airborne. That thing looks like it will rip out its undercarriage and crumple its fenders if you catch air.
>>29058593Because corvettes are too expensive for us so we hate them and pretend we don't want one and that we prefer our much slower current vehicles
>>29058709Did you really just ask why an expesnive car isn't more common? Seriously?
>>29058709The average new Corvette buyer is 65+. When they kick the bucket their baby does eventually get hooned. https://youtu.be/NiVzwQVAvQg?t=485
Reminds me a bit of when the Nissan GT-R came out in 2007. A car whose performance you simply cannot ignore for the price it's sold at, and that makes people who spend much more seethe. Like the GT-R it's also big, heavy and from what I read somewhat detached from a "pure" driving experience, whatever that means.I don't know what the American analogue of Godzilla is, but that's kind of what it represents for me.I have seen a total of 0 here in Europe but I think it's a really cool car.
>>29058593F90 is cheaper and faster.
>>29058747It's engine is FAA certified, right?
>>29058747Nobody even knows or cares what the fuck a f90 is lol
>>29058727>it's also big, heavya c7 weighs ~3300lbs
>>29058753don't worry you'll get a good look at the badge on the rear
>>29058620Please fuck off with your ghetto social media memes.
>>29058593The God Machine
>>290587541.5 tonnes. Corrr a real fly weight.
>>29058754that's outlandishly fat btw
kek this really got the bmw mutt bubblin
>>29058727Most cars made between the 1970s to 2010s used hydraulic power steering and vacuum boosted braking, where the force you put into the wheel or pedal was amplified and directly connected to the wheels; which also meant that forces went both ways, and anything acting on the wheels in turn was transmitted to the wheel or pedal. This is what results in 'road feel' or 'road connection', where an experienced driver can tell what is going on with the wheels from feedback.Most cars made in later days use 'fly by wire' systems, where the wheel and pedals are digital controls that simply signal the operation of actuators; and in some cases this not even deterministic/1-to-1 control, but mere suggestions to account for by the algorithm that is actually deciding how the actuator for the widget actuates.The c8 corvette uses torque vectoring, active suspension, and other wizardry to optimize racing performance. At the same time, as a 'vette, it is also designed to be an 'all things to all people' type of sports car, something that needs to be able to do track laps one day, and sunday cruises the next, which means multiple driving modes/chassis tunings. All of which would be difficult to accomplish all at once with without the ability to precisely and arbitrarily control the actuation of various components, hence the choice by the corvette team to use digital controls. They were aware that this can compromise that 'road feel connection' that conventional electro-mechanical linkages have, but given the multiple design demands that needed to be accomplished, ultimately judged it necessary. Given the way things shook out, they were probably right.Personally I think it's possible to design systems that can allow for both arbitrary actuation and also control feedback at the same time, but such a concern evidently awaits higher genius.
imagine needing a manual fiddlestick to *feel* fast
why would a shitbox make porsche owners seethe?they could just buy one if they wanted to. the problem is, after driving the 911 you realize there true is no substitute. its actually a devastating realization when you think about it.you have reached the pinnacle of automotive engineering and there is no upgrade path except for a higher level trim of a car you already own.grim...
>>29058887>>29058912700lbs lighter than a GT-R
>>29059258No one cares you coping faggot, the gtr is pig fat like your mum.
>>29059283>corvette is big and fat like gtr>actually its much smaller and lighter>no one cares cope ok cool good talk
>>29058951bot post
>>29059300No one cares that your pig fat ameribarge is a touch less fat than a nip pig fat car. The difference is 500lbs? Which doesn't matter when a small american sits in it.
>>29059307There is no need to be so upset
>>29058756It's tricky to tell what brand something is when it's hauled on a flatbed
>>29058951Hydraulic booster are for weak sissies
>>29059199Is that why it's slower and less comfortable?
>>29059307Right, It's just like track times who cares if one car has ten seconds less around a lap, it doesn't mean anything because you personally can't do it
>>29058593c7 was peak Corvette, despite it being the ugliest Corvette and getting rid of round lights. great interior layout, decent enough materials, incredible performance especially for the price
>>29058593>Why haven’t you taken the gm pill?
>>29059355Speaking from experience after your Corvette's 427 heads dropped a guide? Or did the lifters collapse?
>>29059377CheckedI look like this and dance like this
>>29058951chat gpt postNot a single car made today uses fly by wire steering or braking. Brakes on all cars are still hydraulic and vacuum assisted. Steering is still physically connected to a rack. Only the throttle is disconnected from its pedal.oh and if you're a fag with a cybertruck I guess you do have fly by wire steering but youre a retard for driving a cybertruck so that doesn't count
>>29059362what kind of a retarded question is even that? both cars aren’t meant to be comfortable in a way an S class is comfortable. and both cars will be far more capable than you as a driver, I guarantee
>>29059365Don't pretend it's some fly weight, as you were the one who brought up weight. Then try and move goal posts with your pig fat.muttmachine.
>>29059421No I work at a junkyard. We're usually the ones that police send whatever people wrap around a tree.I recall only ever seeing one Corvette come in, and supposedly it was a drunk teen stealing daddy's Sunday car.BMWs of all different trim levels come in though. Without the front or badges it's more tricky than you think to recognize them.
>>29059422They unironically look like they're having a ball
>>29059491So it's uncomfortable, and not even fast then? Crazy.
>>29059501I didn't bring up the weight dude.
>>29059466Infiniti had some models with steer by wire up until 2022, and there are a handful of EVs coming out soon that are going to use it.
>>29059649who's talking about wrapping a car around a tree and how is that relevant to the discussion mr junkyard employee
>>29059688Cars being loaded on the back of flatbeds. Though I guess I'm dealing with the unloading haha.
>>29058593>>650hpNope>>one of the greatest sounds known to man with a stock exhsust, even better with an x pipe Nope.A Volvo V8 (Yamaha) .mogs you>static grip/lateral grip is still the highest ever tested by the rags at 1.19Yeah, ok bro.Put some Cup 2 Rs on some of the various Lancers and they could come close to matching that..
>>29059711Forgot the Volvo linkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zpvLrO-zqU
>>29059466>Brakes on all cars are still hydraulic and vacuum assistedContinental has an IBS system in quite a few cars.
>>29058593The main problem with it is they havent upgraded to AWD.
>>29059657plenty comfy and faster than your shitbox
>>290599551-180mph in 20s is nutty
>>29059659>a c7 weighs ~3300lbsIf you say so.
corvettes are over 9999 gay:^)
>>29059955My man if you're going to use the fastest trim $300k Turbo S then at least compare it to something a little closer in price, like the ZR1X which is a full second quicker in the 1/4 mile.
>>29059700haha
>>29060062this thread is about the C7 retard
>>29060062these are auto only >>>carmax
>>29058593lotus emiras are available for like 115k
>>29060147pigfat USG Prius engine
>>29059999You can just say you can't afford one friend. You don't have to pretend you don't like them
>>29060138Okay then why are you comparing it to a brand new turbo s? Compare a C7 ZR1 to a 991 turbo s and you get the same results. ZR1 is faster, cope.
>>29060182it’s not the latest turbo s though. that one would be even faster
Imagine thinking the peak driving experience is measures by 0-xxx runs.Turning the wheel needs to feel exceptional and there’s exactly 1 type of car that has a very unique, special and glorious feel that sets it apart from the sheer amount of FR and MR slop on the market
and when i walk in all i wanna hear is you sayDADDYS HOMEHOME FOR MEEEE
>>29058593I think Corvettes are coolt. Porsche owner
I think Porsches are gay as fuckt. vette owner
>>29060183Any way you cut it, C7 vs 991, C8 vs 992, the vette is faster than the equivalent trim 911.
>>29060211and it will feel like a generic gt car. if you were to drive a vette along side numerous other FR/MR cars of somewhat similar power/weight without knowing what car you’re in, you wouldn’t be able to tell what you’re driving. The moment you turn the wheel in a 911 however makes it crystal clear what car you’re in.And that’s why there’s no substitute
>>29060282lol
>>29060282You know that big nose fag who drives people's cars on the Nürburgring? He's driven everything and could probably afford anything yet what did he get?
>>29058593Corvette picked when chevy introduced C6
>>29059978That's not my post man, that's a different guy
>>29060650it’s one of his project cars. he’s been doing euro and JDM cars for years of course he’ll venture into mutt cars too eventually
>>29060157A corvette? They are a diamond dozen, I could buy one whenever. I've driven several and I'm not a fan. The manual in a c7 is actually my least favorite manual I've driven, and working for dealers means I've gotten to fuck around in a ton of different cars.>tfw father in law owns chevy dealer but i stilll dont want a vetteumad
>>29060999Trips of truth
>>29060650Yet he uses a 911 for his actual races sound the burger king.
>>29058754It weights more than my forester
i love the vettei love the 911i love the UDMi love amgi love jdmi love exotic supercarsi love shitboxesi love truggsi love suvsi even love cuckoversi love it all bros
>>29060945No problem matey.
>>29061094your forester has a 2.5l four cylinder at best
>>29058593>There is no better car you can spend 65-75k onexcept for the c8 :^)
>>29058593hi OP i saw you at a 7-11 downtown a couple months ago, you're pretty cute for a boy :3
>>29061098
>>29061098>>29061314
>>29061063So why wouldn't he get another as a personal vehicle?
