Anyone who makes blanket statements about "anyone" is foolish and bound to be wrong some of the time.

I like the GTS. But to his point, am I really going to complain about my 443 HP, 11 second 1/4 mile, 191 MPH C2S when it arrives? Some of this is theoretical that never see the light of day when you're driving to Whole Foods.

I'm with you, too. I'm glad it's out there. The whole point of a forum is to get a wide range of opinions. It would be boring otherwise.
Personally, I'd never shop Corvette. Reason? GM.
(My dad was always a GM customer until the 1971 GM strike. I worked in two Chevy dealers in the 1970's. Owned a Suburban 454 in the '90's. The Suburban was a decent tow vehicle but I wouldn't go back to GM for anything these days).

I value my driver's license too much.

ED is the one chance that most of us in the US get to legally drive at speeds that are unthinkable. If I take my 911 on the autobahn and get to 140-150, I’ll make sure the GoPro captures it and save the memory forever. Anything above that are speeds I’m not willing to consider….for now

Y'all need to live a little! I try to floor it at least every week or so - the ol' Italian tuneup. Plus the sound is glorious as you approach redline in 3rd, or 4th if you find a wide-open enough stretch of road.

absolutely. It’s funny how many people ask how fast you go when they find out you do track days, never understanding that lap times are far more relevant. But yes, on the track you will experience full throttle to the redline in 2nd, 3rd, maybe even 4th.

If you really want to see what your top speed is, investigate the "Silver State Classic Challenge".
