There are TWO Corvette threads at 991 GT3. One is about the Vette being 10 seconds faster at VIR, the other is about C7 Vettes.. > 50 pages.

GM's been testing the C7 at VIR, Road Atlanta and The Ring. Results are starting to filter in on a few web sites.

Everyone is now talking about the NEW C7 Vette with two threads on Rennlist, and looking at lap times at VIR.

When you "catch up" let us know your opinion.
Still not sure why "I'm late" all I replied about was about the Z06, and yes I've tracked a Z06, between me, my father in law and my nephew we have 8 Vettes... So yeh I've been around them for a while.

Comparing a Vette to a Cavalier is like comparing a Porsche to a VW bug.

Ignorance vs. reality.

Just stating a fact, when I get in my C5 Vette and look down at the heater controls and stereo which are the same as Grand Prix and Montana's it kind of disappointing that's all. I'm the biggest Vette fan and look forward to the C7.
