Supercup

I was sorely tempted to get the Z several times and the price is right. I just wanted something a little more civilized for the street as do both track and street.

Real nice Z28 - those cars are so fast on the track.

Got to give credit to Chevy for what they did - When the Z28 was launched it set a new standard. I'll never forget this video..

Gulp, Camaro ZL1 1LE looks like it will be a Beast. The Pony Car Wars rage on.

Times are good.

I'm strongly considering the 2017 Grandsport right now which is going at discount of 57k - what a car for the money.

Never had a Corvette but I think they're great, if they price the mid engine C8 under 80k i'll buy at launch. My 997S is about to be put for sale.

I sat in one at the DC auto show. I'm 6'4", and no way can I fit in one. I lowered the seat all the way, to get enough headroom I had to really lean the seat back, such that I wan on the verge on driving like a low-rider. But yes, if you can fit, its a great deal/

Would be great if Chevy put a n/a flat plane 8 in there- and a manual. Only thing left to do would make it look better than those renders

Have 5k miles on my gt350. Can't believe how good this car is as a DD. Seats are amazing. Clutch is way to light but works well in traffic.
The engine is very, very special. Brakes are amazing. Only have 1 track day and some auto x! I need to learn how to drive these type of cars. So different from the rear engine feel.

Auto x is a waste of time. Hood and fenders are huge so really hard to place the car.

Yes, asked them to bring extra cones for the event. Told them I would be driving a mustang. I was surprised to see that I was the only one showing up. Lol
People watch to many C&C videos of mustangs. 😂😂😂

Glad you're loving the GT350, not surprised. All you need to do is put on some Michelin Cup 2 tires with a good alignment then take it to a major track - I did this and it was ***** fast, felt limitless out there. I'm going to start daily driving it too, it's a riot on the street.


Fold down your back seats next drive, feels like you removed all the sound deadening - even better when you remove the resonators.

I've heard that from others too, i'm 5'9'' so it's not an issue. Sat in a GS and drove a Z51 - definitely more snug width wise than a 997 though.

I've been saying the same thing - would be perfect. There is talk of a DOHC LT5 engine being developed for the C8 - that would be fitting.
