like the Koneigsegg needs it?

the 458 Italia or any Ferrari really?

GT3RS?

all those RWD Lambos?

MP412-C Fax Ma.. i mean McClaren?

so, it NEEDS awd and a flappy paddle box to be world class huh?

btw, "dual clutch" doesnt refer to the transmission.. it refers to the clutch

No ****, but it needs that type of clutch to operate that type a trans....so back at ya

If you think you can row the gears as fast as that trans can your a fool.....and when is extra traction not good????

Shorting shift times = better acceleration
Traction = better acceleration/better handleing

The only downside would be extra weight.

Now if they got real with makeing the car light say less than 3000lb then that would be awesome also.

Extra weight and wasted power in a straight line (after launch of course).

AWD=more weight=less acceleration
More technology=higher price
Complete revamp=higher price

The vette's are setup ******* amazing. They better not start messing with a formula that has been highly competitive for 60 years.

Corvette=supercar performance in a simple, affordable platform when compared to the cars it runs with.

I get you. I know all about turns in cars and bikes.

Don't be naive.

So Vettes CAN drive in snow!! I knew it!

I have a feeling this car is going to be overstyled. IMO at least. Maybe when the C7 comes out the C6s will drop in price, and I could have a hope of buying one.

Odd, I see more RWD race cars than AWD.. A lot more

justin455

Not at all...unless you want to sit inside it.

Irunelevens

The interior is actually one of my favorite parts lol

Agreed, but at least we can still turn it completely off (in most cars at least).








I might have to agree...sometimes, less is more.

justin455

Bit of a masochist? If I had a C4 I would do everything I can to swap a C5 or C6 interior into one. Probably even before go fast mods. Haha.

Irunelevens

It's not that bad

We are not talking about race cars with sticky tires. I will agree then that rwd would be better overall. We are talking about street cars with limited traction. It's hard not to admit the GTR is a badass with it's awd.

I do love C5s and C6s (so much so that I bought one) and most will agree that they are both clearly better (and faster) cars overall than any of the various C4 models but a lot of people do miss some elements of the C4 generation. That interior (and I do prefer the later '90-'96 iterations of the C4 interiors) had a sort of cocoon or low slung race car like feel to it when ya fell into it that the later C5/C6 cars seemed to lack (which again, was still a welcomed change to the majority of people like yourself ).
Sort of like comparing the act (art?) of climbing into a '70s/'80s era Lamborghini Countach versus climbing into a '70s/'80s era Porsche 928, they were both relatively fast sports cars/sports coupe and the 928 was certainly much easier and less cumbersome to enter but some still found the challenging contortions required to enter the Countach simply more fun.

Haven't the GT-R's been having a lot of trans related problems that havent been covered under warranty? I thought I read that someone.

Also, weren't the C4 literally styled after star wars and designed to give you a space-aged "cockpit" feel?

^Yes it is.....



The later update makes it look alright though.

LS1LT1

iTrader: (16)

Yes I believe that there were a few cases of that in the 2008-2010 models, not sure about the more recent releases.

Irunelevens

Yep.
The GT-R had a handful of problems related to people overusing the launch feature. But that problem was fixed a couple years ago.

Irunelevens

Definitely talking about the '90-'96 cars. The earlier models had shitty interiors like basically every other 80s car.
