Please stop trolling. You hate the tail lights, ok, we get it. We also don't care.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I really like it. I can't wait to see one of these with bolt ons and a tune run around a track. Bolt on c6 zo6's hit about 570-580 at the motor?

After you hit 200mph go and get yourself an education mr.justin

And don't ever argue with someone about their opinion. You're welcome.
Man, you're kind of a little bitch, huh? The reason I used "child level logic" is because that's the only way idiots can see how stupid they sound. Your logic is flawed, even if it's your opinion.

Keep this up, you won't last long around here, kiddo.


:edit:

Also there's this, which seems like you hate the whole car (as I said) not just the tails.

P.S

Anyone stupid enough to pay 43K or more for a car with No AC should seek Mental Medical Attention! And yes ******** I know its optional but that's not the point.
Lastly, how is it I need an education when you can't even use proper grammar, spelling, or sentence structure? I mean, you're over here capitalizing random, non-proper nouns in the middle of sentences.

I'll admit that you got a little attention in this thread, so there's a small, troll win for you. However, you really need to get better at trolling if you want to make a name for yourself.

Actually I like the new tail lenses (one of the things I hated most about the original 5th gen's rear end). I'm just not crazy about the restyling of the rest of it.

this car isn't meant to be DD
if you like it and can afford it that’s great, if not a used Z06 is nice for track use and it has the LS7. That’s all I’m saying

When or where was this stated? I missed it. Didn't hear it mentioned in a launch, and did not read that in a press release.

I'm with you, unless it comes out to be they only make very few or they are super expensive. If the production and price falls in line with the ZL1, then it could definitely be a DD. I get the "I'd get a used Z06 for a track car" but if you're spending 40+k on a track only car, I don't think you're cross shopping a 4 seater, almost 2 ton, Camaro.

This car is meant for the streets with the occasional track day.

I happen to love everything about the car with the exception the front lip is a bit big but I know it's purposeful. This is the first 5th gen I would want to own.

Saw this car today in person! It was quite stunning. The paint, wheels, and brakes really stood out for me. The interior was sick and just knowing the fact it had an LS7 put it above the ZL1 IMO. The only thing I didnt like was the front lip. It went with the black/white/CF theme but it was maybe 2' off the ground and I wouldnt be afraid to drive the damn car. More and more cars coming from the factory with matte finishes, I love it!

I've been reading the response to this car on another forum and there's a lot of concern regarding how much servicing the ceramic brakes is going to cost, especially if they produce a ton of these cars and the resale suffers. Anyone familiar with that?

Only thing I've ever heard about the carbon ceramic brakes was from a few ZR1 owners that complained that they could never seem to get rid of a vibration due to a manufacturing defect with the rotors, but it was covered under warranty. I've not heard of anyone that abused a set enough to have to do anything major with them.

So this car is 300lbs less than the zl1. Making it bout the same as an ss? And pushing 500hp not bad. Sounds bout like a low 12 second car. I read the ac is optiona if im correct. Is the radio/with speakers Also optional? I thought i read there wouldnt be a radio but im not sure. Can someone chime in on this please. Thankyou



Ps I also dont care for the tail lights much but thats just one mans opinion. No big deal
But im sure ill soon get used to them.

Okay so its about 100lbs less than an SS from the factory. Losing the huge mufflers, and manifolds and cats is going to dial off more weight.

I dropped about 100lbs out of my ss and I didnt go crazy trying to do it.
