    Automobile Mag: Snake & Stingray... stop with all the hate

    I'm hoping to be there in the Spring. How do you like the track?

    Automobile Mag: Snake & Stingray... stop with all the hate

    Huge difference in feel between Touring mode and Sport / Track. Throttle response is much more relaxed in touring mode.

    Automobile Mag: Snake & Stingray... stop with all the hate

    I think you're right about the tires. I never heard any GM engineer make the claim the Z51 is faster than the ZR1. They've hinted the C7 Z06 will be faster than the ZR1 since they're claiming it'll be the most track capable Vette ever produced. I don't have a problem believing the C7 Z06...

    Automobile Mag: Snake & Stingray... stop with all the hate

    I haven't seen any lap times, just the instructors saying they're able to match Z06 times in the C7. I'm sure there will be published C7 vs C6Z test because it'll be at least a year before the C7 Z06 hit dealers.

    Automobile Mag: Snake & Stingray... stop with all the hate

    I'm not so sure C7 Z51 vs C6 Z06 lap times are just marketing hype. The instructors at Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch have reported their C7 lap times are on par with their Z06 times.

    Possible C7 Z06 detail

    The constraints for the Z51 have to do getting certain parts (seems to be mostly CF pieces). A few C7 owners had issues with low diff fluid, but in the grand scheme of things it appears to be a very low percentage of affected cars. The thousands of other owners aren't going to make a thread...

    Told ya...

    I had a 2011 R8 V10 with the gated manual and loved it. I'm just chiming in because you're wanting to experience a car with "paddles", but the R8 you're buying with the R-tronic transmission consistently gets the worst reviews. Audi's new S-tronic transmission is one of the best, but the '14...

    I mean ***...

    Nice! I wish mine came with the black wheels. I'm thinking about painting them gloss black, but I might just order an aftermarket set.

    Let's be real, what would it take? Only short answers please

    I stopped by a local dealer to look at the Gen 5 for the first time. They had a '14 with the Aero pack. I'm not going to lie, I was disappointed with the lack of interior room. I had a little more leg room compared to the ACR, but the door shuts against my left shoulder limiting the mobility...

    Saying bye and giving an apology

    In my experience the norm is for them to give you the best loaner they have available. Whenever I brought my R8 in for service, I would typically end up with an A8 loaner unless I requested something else they had available. I will say that I ended up with a rental Dodge Caravan when I brought...

    SRT retakes Laguna Seca record with 2014 SRT Viper TA!!!

    Of course they would lock the thread. The ZR1 with MPSC just lost the record to a Viper with wet road capable Corsas! I'm surprised your thread lasted longer the 3 minutes on the Vette forum!
