I don't care who brought it up, you're the one wanting to bet me.

If you're not willing to place a bet on your assertions in red, which I quoted directly from you, then you must not believe them yourself. Which is understandable.

The only way to compare them fairly on the ring times is to use the latest Z06 time, since it was from a roll, not a standing start. The fact that you want to handicap your bet by using the standing start time is an admission the C7 can't compete under the same rules. Quit trying to cheat.

Bench racing. I'll believe it when I see it. They should run 10's then. I doubt it. Direct injection is nice, but the variable valve timing could be problematic.

Thread should be closed as it has zero credibility. Title should be changed to fantasy land e85 c7 numbers by some dude named BigGunz.

Thank you, I do have a great ***!

I don't know for a fact that you are a moron. But you have posted some moronic statements. Until I have more facts, I'll refrain from labeling you a moron. However, I do believe you are highly emotional, and gullible.

That pretty much sums it up.

unsubscribed, the thread did have potential, but its gone downhill quick.

Dispassionate debate is OK; but once things degenerate to name calling; on a forum, on the job; its unprofessional. Lose the emotion, act like we're all adults. Agree to disagree IMHO.

Chevy engineering will resolve this when we get the details in late summer before the actual C7 release date into the dealerships. That said I've had a post or three I wasn't too proud of either.

I hope it doesn't come standard with E85 capabilities, so I can do the same thing i'm doing now. Running E85, and turning heads at the pump. I like my little nitch
