Carlos: "Best Corvette ever?"

Randy: "Not yet..."

TurboS

He's saving that comment for the Z07..

so the as test prices are $430k, $151k, and $69k? Pretty big spread there.

At $150k that Carrera is too much. Wow

I would like to see the comparo among the Vette Z51, 991 C2 Base w/ Stick, and Cayman S w/ stick.

congrads to both P and C.


Trackcar, how did you fit?

I expected faster from the Corvette relative to other times. I expect with some R-Comp factory tires it would be in the 1:36's. About what Randy did in the 3.8 RS or Generation V Viper.

"And an H Pattern Shifter, that's the way a sports car ought to be"


Agreed!

I thought the F12 would have been a lot quicker with all that horsepower. Maybe the Michelin SS were keeping both the F12 and Stingray times up

I have not made it to the dealer yet too busy with family in town/work, maybe this evening.

$150k for the C4S?

Even with PTS and a power kit I can't get my ideal C4S that high.

that c/d video on the seats is very cool. good on them for taking a box cutter to them.

The pop-up spec chart on the video indicated the F12's weight at 4003 lbs.

Corvette = 3436 lbs.

C4S = 3394 lbs.

(my 2001 Z06 was 3116 lbs.)

Hmmm. F12 is $363,374 more expensive than the Stingray and weighs 559lbs more. So you're only paying an extra $650 per pound for the privledge of owning the F12. Brilliant brandwashing if you ask me.

California would've been the fairer comparison in power and "value" to the Stingray and Porsche.

C4S with a PDK is listed at 3230 lbs. on the P-car website.

C4S is listed at 3186 lbs. with a manual.

Im sure they corner weighted it. At that price it has to have all the options ticked including the not so lite pdcc, 18 way seats, the wider wheels. It did have pccb however.

Separately, the Vette is looking more and more like a formidable contender. When was the last time words like "balance, communicative, and feel" were used to describe a Vette? Although I havent driven the car, I am mildly impressed. It would have been a slam dunk had it not been for that rear.
