Love the sound of that exhaust.

orgasmic isnt it?

[hamann318is]

so wait, even though it hangs with the best europe has to offer, its not a supercar? I'm confused, maybe the adjective "supercar" is more a reflection of price than performance.

Not so much price, more like production which yeilds a higher price. I don't consider any Porsche, except the Carrera GT, a supercar. BMW only had the M1 as their supercar.

My number one problem with the new 'Vette is leafsprings.

doesn't seem to hamper their on track performance much...

Have you looked at the rear suspension design on the new vette? They may have, somehow evolved from leaf springs but there are no true leaf springs to be seen on a new vette.

yeah thats sexy and it competes and beats the "super cars" so yeah mmmm ZO6s

Alot of things can beat supercars, hell a modded Civic can beat a Viper, still doesn't make it a Supercar. Supercars are rare, prestigious car, typically made with care not something stamped together off an assembly line by blue collared workers.

That video was a waste of a minute of my life. This video is better.

. right. no, civics off the showroom floor can't beat vipers. Z06s (with their dry sump AL block 7.0 with TI valves and rods simple assembly line job) can.

I'm going with Rob on this one...

Here is something I grabbed off of another board -

I just wondered, what does 'Supercar' mean to everyone? Is it a 200mph car (BMW M5?), is it a limited number of hand made cars (FXX), is it a sub 4 second 0-60 time, something that costs more than £100,000 or just something that is generally unobtainable to the average person?

There's no right or wrong answer, I'm just wondered where people believe a car stops being 'Great' and starts being 'Super'?

So come on, what attributes does a Supercar require?

Get over your 318's with H&R's...

You do realize that the ls7 is hand made by 1 person right? I think you guys just like to disagree with me and thats the only real reason why you hate the car. There are no other good reasons.

[Rob]

blind hatred is another reason. Same thing pops up with hot Japanese cars.

It's not a super car, and I never said it was bad. Stop trying to pick fights. It's fast, and I'm sure fun to drive. Porsche 911 of America, I get it.

My real opinion is that the coolest Corvette is the Stingray, go ahead and say I'm wrong.

I was talking to Tuanies

[Victell]

Right thur holmes

[h0lmes]

Yes, that is the "transverse leaf spring" component of the suspension. But it's obviously quite different from a true leaf spring.

[chuckybob]
