another major reason to own a vette other than speed and look is the freaking cheap parts price! It is cheaper than Honda or Toyota. Take a look at my Brembo front calipers - they are the same one found on Ferrari 458 and they are HUGE! They only cost me $400 each. Buying parts and aftermarket mods for the vette is super fun and cheap .... so cheap it almost felt like free compare with our GT3. Take a look at Pfadt headers with med section ... $1600 a set and that's cheaper than most GT3 center bypass

in the past,
I had never imagined I would ever want to own a Corvette, but this Stingray just changed my mind ! I also think the current 911 pricing is way too expensive... this Corvette might steal lots of sales from potential 911 customer. |
Zr1 and z06 forthcoming I would presume
Good god please show me a c7 zo6 carbon edition with the magnetic susp |
I call it the, Corviperrari
It is pretty wicked looking. |
Wow! They finally threw out some of the age old corvette styling cues and built a decent looking car. For the most part the car looks great.
Also, the dry sump should help some of the oiling issues of the past. |

My C5z06 is a rolling Pfadt catalog from the spherical bearings, carbon drive shaft, coilovers ect its transformed it to a car that, while in was still street legal, I was running lap times within a 1 1/2 seconds of Madison and his 2011 cup. Looking forward to this race season shaping up to be a great battle between the Corvettes and Porsche cups at our NASA races at Miller. |
actually looks great for a vette.
i like it! a lot of design cues and proportions from their old split-window models. very well done, not sure of the line of quad exhausts though; think they should have kept 2 banks of 2 on either side. |

BTW, all those lines on the front bumper and hood will make clear bra a real challenge :D |
Same turn signal stalk and switches as my truck :-(
Interior looks better but man can a brother get some upgraded switches etc in the halo car? Nothing about the interior should remind you of rental car |
Color me intrigued. They clean sheet'd the interior and added some really interesting styling. Still have those composite leaf springs out back?

I want a job as a jet fighter pilot if the cockpit features 'luxurious Napa leather, micro suede, real aluminium and carbon fiber trim and Recaro seats' lol!
It does look a huge improvement over the old monster. Wonder how the LT1 will hold up to track duty or will it grenade like the LS series engines did due to poor oiling? Jay |
