This Car Wants To Go Fast

Safety Car
I did a third gear pull around two cars who were playing, "let's be buddy buddy and go 66 in the two far left lanes on the highway!" Looked down and I was going 96 (in Mexico, of course ) almost instantly. This car is just stupid fast, I can't imagine what the guys in the Z06's feel like...
I wouldn't doubt if you put wings on it,that it would come off the ground.

I always felt that it swayed quite a bit past 80. My 6MT also came with the Sport tuned suspension, 19" wheels and tires so they were slightly larger than the regular model. But with the vette's wider tires and frame, it just feels safer. I guess it would just feel kind of strange to buy one again after having a vette. If I need to haul people, I have an SUV for that.

I upgraded from a G37 Sport. Trust me I thought the G was a sporty car...it's not. You will be pleased. Congrats on the purchase.

The C7 is absurdly fast (I'm coming from a V6 Mustang, not the fastest thing but still decent at 300hp at the crank). The main issue I have is that it's so well planted and relatively quiet at ridiculous speeds that you don't realize you're getting to felony-level speeding territory by leaning on the gas pedal a little bit. Basically if you want the car to sound and FEEL like it's going fast, you either have to hoon it by keeping it in low gears while doing sane speeds or you have to break the law in a very substantial way.
