A Z with the latest technology, synchrorev, vvel, powerful yet efficient vq37vhr, etc.... A vette still using 2 valves/cyl, pushrod engine, etc.... (why not add carburettors while at it?)
A Z someone young with youth and vigour may drive. A vette driven mostly by 50 yr old men with a midlife crisis.
A Z with class, something a well educated professional may drive, beautiful curves, euro style looks. Think Porsche 911 carrera. A vette that is the car of choice for rednecks. Think Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Vettes are crap. The only good ones were the stingray/mako shark generation. Besides, you're talking about a base stripped down vette. not a z06 or even the grandsport/z51. Apart from the overbloated engine giving decent straightline acceleration, everything else on that vette is inferior to the z, brakes, suspension, wheels, tires, handling, interior, fit and finish, quality and reliability, etc..... |
...what the hell are you talking about? I don't like calling people out, but talk about a narrow-minded approach to cars, with the most stereotypical of views.
Obviously you are going for nothing more than a perceived image (an image you conjured up in your head and agree with yourself). Rednecks only drive Corvettes? Well educated professionals only, drive 370's? Hilarious.
Are you seriously even REMOTELY saying that the LSX motors are low-tech piles of junk and since the VQ37 has some new-age stuff its better simply because of that? Better yet, it only has decent straight line acceleration, and cant out handle a Z?
WELCOME....TO THE INTERNET. Many things can be done here, including research. I suggest you do that before posting again.
