I've seen a lot of them in San Jose, I'm surprised by how semi-common they've been. I've seen more if them than last gen GT500's it feels like. There's a black R in the foothills that I KNOW was purchased for $128k. The kicker was that it was driven by an 18 year old. Probably a graduation...

Pic didn't work. Can you repost please?

Not really a fan. They contrast a little too much IMO. Maybe if the lights had black chrome inside or something like that.

Those werent on the same day.

I think that would be a good head-2-head. Same with a GT350TP vs C7 base since they are roughly the same price.

If you don't mind compromising and down grading on looks, sound, and overall utility in the regular use of the car (blind spots, trunk size, rear seat room, interior layout), then the 1LE is probably the way to go.

I don't think a GT3 has ever passed any sort of NHTSA safety test.

I think the 15-17 Will drag down the resell value of the 18 more than the 18 will help the 15-17.

Chevy did the same thing with their LS7 when it was a 428 instead of the 427 they advertised it as.

Did you even see the quote I was responding to from w3rkn?? "Ironically, I look down upon people who drive a Camaro, over a Vette, because at least a Vette has more visibility than someone willing to compromise their safety." I thought it was silly of him to harp the importance of safety...

Last I saw, Corvettes don't even have crash test ratings.

I remember a lot of people complaining that they did not want that to happen, but I don't recall anyone actually going into limp mode on the street. There may have been one or two tho.

Can you post the link of the head to head between the GT350 VS 1LE please. I've searched for it but can't find it. I dont think anybody would just make that statement up. Thx.

This is one I made a few days ago.

Maybe. But grip is probably an even bigger limiting factor than the torque difference IMO.

The Cobras from 96+ we're very competitive at the time. They weren't necessarily whooping the competition, but they were competitive. Nothing I would consider "embarrassing".

Cool, I'll have to redo the overlays. I doubt it'll be much different, but it's always good to have the correct data. As for that second link, are you sure that's a graph of a 2018? Is it a manual 15 vs auto 18? I haven't seen any 18's nosedive like that before 7000 rpm.

Ok, I have some overlayed dyno graphs for you guys. I had to guesstimate the 6800-7400 rpm portion of the 2018 graph (dashed lines) due to no actual graph existing past 6800 rpm

I'll overlay some graphs when I get home.

The A8 Z06 had cooling issues.
