Corvette is a mass produced car, so it's more mainstream, it will never get the attention that the low production hand built viper get , but to say nobody cares about it is not true, in my case I just don't care much about the C7, loved all my other vettes.
Go way back to before I was born, I would say the 67 big block corvette coupes are on my bucket list, along with the chrome bumper C3's(preferably a 69 427 coupe )
If you want modern vettes, my ZR1, and 01Z equipped with cartek head/cam etc... Cars were my favorites.

I beat the crap out of my 2010 ACR on the track. It's basically the same frame that's on the new one.The torque , hp is awesome. The car is so reliable, low maintenance. Yes robust is a perfect word for it. I can't imagine when I track the new one. With 45 more hp, and those monster brakes, aero etc..
Very nice! Can't wait to see you out there.

I absolutely love the 427 LS7. I enjoyed winding that powerplant out to 7K rpm in my previous Z06.

I even had an all custom LS7 built by TX Speed to put into my 1969 Camaro project, which I hope to finish by March of next year.



But these fanboys on this site seem to think I only drive Vipers.

I'm in the same boat... Saw a used artic white Z with the adrenaline red interior at a MB store last weekend and I fell in love all over again. Loved my 427 Z and will eventually own a C7Z as well. What a beautiful machine!!

I assume that because viper sales is so damn low, there is no action on the viper forum. Are they still halting production every few months?

I love all of American muscle cars including ACR and never thought to go talk **** on someone else's forum.
honda outsales corvette thus they are better cars... great logic

gorgeous photo/backdrop, spectacular car color, and 1 heck of a serious car. personally, not a fan of that giant wing, but that's besides the point and i fully understand its intended purpose.

i bet it's a hoot to drive. enjoy!

Look, R&T did not feel the need to remove the Stage 3 aero for the Z. They did feel the need to remove it for the ACR. That's all I need to know.
I scrapped the bottom of my carbon fiber splitter on my GTS last week pulling into a fuel station. My 911 scraps on my driveway every single day as I back out.

Time to sell both and get a Camry.

Or sell both and get a car that breaks the splitter every day in your own driveway.

Or sell your house that has a POS driveway, and build a custom home without said crappy driveway. That is what I did.

I can put on a Redwings jersey and play hockey but it doesn't make me a pro... you're only as good as you can drive. Most good racers could beat us in a base vette giving us a head start. Keep it cool guys!! :-)
