If maths are your thing, here's some of the fact behind the magic of the acceleration times:

Looks amazing. Problem is that it cannot be tuned by another companies software. GM has a lock out feature and if that is true that really sucks.. This might give you a idea

If you're hoping a manual will come? They bluntly said... "NO". This may give Supra a chance if they bring the m azz nual to the car. Otherwise? I think it's the C8 for the win. If this car doesn't sell like hot cakes? The enthusiast market is truly dead. The vette is the holy grail of affordable cars. I'm sure other manufacturers that had plans of putting out a car are asking... " how do we top that?"

They said that about the C7, and of course the GT-R.

That's just like an open invitation/challenge for someone to figure it out.

Odds are, they will pass mules to Callaway and Lingenfelter, as well as the secret tunnel maps of Area 51.

Anything can be tuned. It just depends on how much you're willing to pay and how much time you're willing to put into it.

Sub 3 seconds to 60. Exactly how much more do you want? How fast do you need to get to the corner store for your smokes? :icon17:

You're right but as an enthusiast myself? If it ain't a grand sport or better. Not worth it. GS puts that MRC to use with a real suspension kit that's even more stable on track. Wider tires improved aero the recorder standard dual mode exhaust etc...

So I guess we all have our standards.


As far as the vette and tuning...

2016 was the only tunable camaro. Now look. Every camaro year has like 4 tune options. So many companies lock out their ECU then a year later. The tune is out.

Omg, enough with the Camaro propaganda... It's too much. You're turning me into a true Mustang fan!!!

I like mustang's too. At least the GT PP2, GT350 and the upcoming GT500. So get you a mustsng of those models and I'll like and enjoy hearing about it IN YOUR OWN THREAD.
Just going off my personal experiences... Being C7's n 6's have LT1s same transmission suspension etc. Not sure if the ECU's are the same but we both got locked out the same year. Not really propaganda. But anyway. ..

Back to what I came back for....

Dude made a video comparing stats on competing cars. The C8 is bananas. I think I may take a trip to my dealer to crunch numbers. I think 70k will make a kool vette. I'm diggin' the fact it keeps up with cars or beats them with underdog hp numbers.

FP said it...

Bottom line, gm just dropped an Everyman attainable mclaren supercar competitor in our laps.

AND, as long as it doesn't become a joke on account of quality or reliability, an everyday supercar that you can live with. Afford to get service done on. And, therefore, not care about putting miles on. It's going to depreciate like a stone, but who cares at that price. You won't have to sell your first born in order to afford to get the oil changed using parts and tools that only select dealers can obtain. And you will not have to drive halfway across the country to find somewhere to have that done.

There are exactly 3 McLaren dealerships in all of Canada. You DON'T want to get into a fight with the closest one! ;-)

Since when has corvette not held its value rather decently. 2012 grand sports sell in the mid to high $30's?

Just looked at Auto Trader - looks like about 1/2 price after 2-3 years up here, but whatever.

These are some low price examples here. Anything cheaper will have higher mileage.
