For $60K there's not a better buy to be found on the planet. By this time next year there will be a host of mods for the C7 that will set it out beyond it's predecessor.

It's base design is SO strong… the significantly improved aerodynamics alone, will mean that smaller increases in Torque will produce larger improvements in performance. It's GOT to… Can't NOT do so…

The c6 z06 has went 10.9@129 stock. Not saying that is the norm. If we are saying the c7 does 117. The z06 does 125ish stock. That's like an 8mph difference. How is the the z06 not "better" or faster?

If you want to compare best times the as I showed above has went 10's bassicly stock. Comparing et's is kinda dumb to me though. btw bone stock c5 z06's have went 11's stock....

I guess the same way you went from say the Z06 did a 10.9 stock and then said it did that basically stock....... also did you not see where i admitted that i was wrong or are you just tryin to jump on the band wagon to make you feel better? must suck not having nothing to do but try and act smarter when all your doing is rewording what others have said even after i admitted I was wrong. nice try tho

OVA, I'm a Vette guy, and the C7 is a nice car, but a few things here are off. The C6Z was not the LAST platform example (first C6Z came out in '06), that would be the ZR1 ('09) or Grandsport ('10). For 60K, a C6Z is by far a better buy performance wise. Now, for a brand NEW car, the C7 is a great performance car buy. All around performance wise, the C6Z and C7 at the track would be a good comparison, but I'd bet the C6Z would still be victorious. That said, the interior of the C7 is hands down the best interior a Vette has ever had.

Oh, and double negative land called and wants the last statement back!

Well there ya go… We agree on 99% of the issue. Suffice it to say that IMHO, the trend is positive, without regard to the anti-reason forces who say that the C7 is rolling back into 'old mistakes'. I can't find any where in the facts that sustain that position.

Didn't read any of what others said. Your dumb post just caught my attention because it was filled with such dumb info. I just pointed out stuff that I know. You obviously spouted off without knowing ****.... Who's trying to act smarter than who here? You're just a dumbass and make everyone else look like a genius.

Good vid… but look at the track. Trees are bare and the crew standing about make it clear that THAT video recorded a car running in cool, sweat air.

I fully expect to see bone-stock C7s in the 11s, in fairly short order as 'the season' develops.

Crazy how people talk to other people when they are behind a keyboard.

Can't see them talking like that when they are face to face with someone.
