[Official] C7 Corvette Thread

takjak2 · 11-10-2013, 01:57 PM

Starting to look more and more into the C7s. I think white with dual carbon stripe is super sexy.

Gotta wait to see what the widebodys off through, as the current C7 is a step down in autox performance form a C6 GS or Z06.

Vettes were never for AutoX's in my opinion, RWD and a relatively long wheelbase don't really help. On an open track however, it's a different story!

When I think AutoX, I think STI's, Evo 9's and french hatchbacks.

I got in my first Autocross with it today and I was super impressed with it on a tight course. this was my my first time driving a pure RWD car in about 6 years. I had driven the C7 a total of 25 miles prior to these runs.

I tried all the different Performance Traction Modes on each run and ended up in full race mode which was good.. had the back end kick out a bit but it only took tiny corrections. I have to say the best part on a course like this was the brakes! They were great and let you enter the turn deep before you scrubbed off speed. I really enjoyed it and I ended up doing much better than I expected. the transition from GTR was pretty easy and i bet the GTR would have been maybe less than a second faster if that today on this particular course

I'll just leave this here. Saw it at SEMA, and while I admit I haven't been looking for pics of the convertible, this was the first I had seen

Actually that's the official picture released by Chevy Instagram

But that's the only image released thus far.

So, I'm still not a huge fan of this car in it's non-wide body form, but jesus christ...
