  1. It's Official: Corvette C8, 0-60MPH in 2.9, Qtr Mile 11.3 @ 121 MPH

    Yep. 0 to 60MPH is magazine BS. But, you've got street cred, you and I both know that 0 to 80/85 MPH in the C8 is going to be tough for 95% of any production car to beat. High horsepower always wins out given enough track. But let's face it, many steet races are over by the time you hit...
  2. It's Official: Corvette C8, 0-60MPH in 2.9, Qtr Mile 11.3 @ 121 MPH

    Dude, you are seriously delusional. We're talking about cars in general and you're talking Ford. :headbang: You are one of the few living in fantasy land. To say the GT500 is going to kill a ZL1 1LE on a road course, aka NĂĽrburgring is insane. The ZL1 did it in 7:16 which is insane fast...

    Why is it so hard to read a "Dipstick?" :crazy:
  4. GT 350 just got crushed by the C8

    Maybe he is the new forum owner and all goes thru him? I will say the C8 reveal just about blew everyone away. No one expected $60,000 base Plus sub 3 seconds. Mind-blowing. As soon as I heard that statement I said adios to the Camaro ZL1 and Shelby GT350 sales. You have to really want one...
  5. It's Official: Corvette C8, 0-60MPH in 2.9, Qtr Mile 11.3 @ 121 MPH

    LOL, I'm not trying to sell anyone on the C8. Just pointing out the differences between the C8 & GT500. I like em both for different reasons.
  6. It's Official: Corvette C8, 0-60MPH in 2.9, Qtr Mile 11.3 @ 121 MPH

    I read that also. Gonna be hard to justify spending $5,000 more for Z51 when all you gain is at Best 1/10th second.
  7. It's Official: Corvette C8, 0-60MPH in 2.9, Qtr Mile 11.3 @ 121 MPH

    0 to 100MPH for both cars is 7.6 seconds, after that, it's all GT500. 1-mile race GT500 will kill it. I wouldn't say obliterate. I think the C8 will be around 11.1/11.3, the GT500 10.9/11.0 for qtr mile. Probably come down to whoever gets the best traction off the line.

    ... and the C8 will beat the GT500. :muscle:
  9. GT 350 just got crushed by the C8

    New Video, this is way better sound and looks more like 2.9 seconds. All happens in the first Ten seconds. https://www.motortrend.com/news/exclusive-testing-c8-corvette-seen-drivers-seat-w-video/

  11. Various Thoughts on Ford and Other Manufacturers

    It's pretty sad when an Iconic U.S. company like Ford is rated "JUNK" in a Trump economy and Wall St at Historic highs. What's gonna happen "if" Bernie or Pocahontas win next year? Ford may be toast under the Libtards.
  12. It's Official: Corvette C8, 0-60MPH in 2.9, Qtr Mile 11.3 @ 121 MPH

    I'm sure you're happy that today Wall St cut Fords Rating to "JUNK." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-09-09/ford-cut-to-junk-by-moody-s-on-doubt-restructuring-to-boost-cash "Ford Motor Co. was dealt a major blow by Moody’s Investors Service, which cut the carmaker’s credit rating...
  13. Various Thoughts on Ford and Other Manufacturers

    Speaking of "Junk," Ford was downgraded today to Junk: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ford-cut-junk-moodys-doubts-202155962.html (Bloomberg) -- Ford Motor Co. was dealt a major blow by Moody’s Investors Service, which cut the carmaker’s credit rating to junk on doubts that a turnaround plan by...
  14. Heard it from a friend - mass production next week

    So the GT500 is going into production next week, no performance times, etc... Seems like Ford is really dragging its feet on this GT500. Sounds like the Corvette C8 except they said at least Sub 3 seconds Zero to Sixty. I need to see Reviews before I'm ordering any car. Especially when it's...
  15. Not quite cheating on your S550 (what cars have u thought about and why, why not)

    I'm old school, grew up in the 1960s when Mustangs, Torinos, Camaro, Corvette, Chevelle, and Dodge 426 Hemis ruled the streets. So, I'm very biased towards American cars. :flag: With that said my Daily Driver is a Lexus sedan. IMHO the Camaro SS 1LE is the best bang for the buck today. Car...
  16. It's Official: Corvette C8, 0-60MPH in 2.9, Qtr Mile 11.3 @ 121 MPH

    If the 11.1 to 11.3 turns out to be true, then hell yes there's a chance for 10.9 on a well-prepped surface.
  17. It's Official: Corvette C8, 0-60MPH in 2.9, Qtr Mile 11.3 @ 121 MPH

    Well, if true, the GT500 guys are going to go crazy. Hard to believe a 495HP car could beat a 760HP car. :shock: Although it wouldn't surprise me given that they say both cars are tied 0 to 100MPH @ 7.6 seconds. Just shows why Chevy said they could no longer get better performance with more...
