bout damn time. i was getting so bored with my regular zo6's 500hp.

yeah, i bet it will fit, but 650 V8 horses in a 89in wheelbase? yikes.

SS is a lame name, weren't they calling it the Blue Devil before? that was sweet. they could call it the Z0666!!!!!!!!1

The vettes just keep getting nastier.

does it still rock the buggy suspension? if so? GM FAIL!

buggy suspension?

seriously, what are you talking about? Vettes have been kicking ass the past 20 years.

ive yet to drive one i liked 37

i think he's referring to the leafspring suspension in the rear, borrowed from a medieval ox-cart.

the hell did you just say? lol.

:gay:
You know the first vette was based on the same platform as a chevy truck. So they're just keepin it real.

I give the vette props because its rocking leafsprings and it still hands every car there ass in a track based race and straight line. I have yet to see a car within its price range keep up on a straight away and turns. Z06 is the only chevy i would consider buying...now to find 75,000 bux hmmm lol

I have yet to drive a corvette i liked. and the count continues common Ben dont give up we're gonna hit 10K
38

I've driven many Vettes and all generations. The only one I didn't like to drive was IIRC a 58 convertible. Drove like an old truck (because it basically was) and the tranny didn't have synchros. Also didn't like how I always had a "rolling perimeter" of vehicles around me. Everyone wanted to take a look.

The 63 convertible I drove before I drove the 58 was much nicer, as was the big block tri power 67.

Never driven a ZR1 or a Lingenfelter. Would welcome the opportunity.

The only vett ive been in was a 2001 twin turbo z06 , my pig-rich old fart of neibor....it was nice, till the old fart started driving like a maniac doing 160 down a stretch racing a porche 911 of I-95 made me scared of old people....

whats the deal with those actuators in the exhaust tips.

god I'd kill every one of you for that car...or just a c6 z06. The speedline wheels look dope.

I'm not the kind of guy to buy the car fast off the floor, I like to (try) make it that way. Or maybe it's just because I can't afford to put it on track and wad it up, because I sure as hell wouldn't buy something like that and NOT take it to the track (and I mean a road course).

vettes rock, i can't afford one i really want but i'd like a c6 zo6, trade almost anything for it

yea i like almost all generations,except the last of the stingrays.

the latest corvette switches over to half muffler half open pipe at a certian speed/RPM 39

My guess - to keep the thing quiet at idle and open up at WOT/certain RPM to facilitate better breathing. FWIW Ferrari uses a similar system on certain models.
