Whoever said we’re in the twilight of horsepower and performance cars hasn’t looked outside recently. If anything, we’re in the new golden age of both.
Just take the following video of a race between a C7 Z06 and a motorcycle as proof.

While the Corvette Z06 is getting most of the headlines these days, it seems plenty of people are happy with their C7 Stingrays, so much so that they don’t feel compelled to trade up.

When Dirk Diggler first shows off his new “Competition Orange” 1977 Corvette Stingray, he says, “This is it — this is the thing. This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Corvette Forum member WELEPRO took home a brand new Z06, and he’s already given us video of the first start-up and a glowing drive-home report.

Yesterday marked the first day of shipments for the all-new Corvette Stingray Z06. With 650 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque, the new ‘Vette is sure to set the road on fire.

I still find myself getting starstruck each time I lay eyes on the C7 Corvette in person. Check out the gallery after the jump to see the 2015 Corvette strutting its stuff at this year’s LA Auto Show.
