I hope they can get the 1000hp to stop melting.
You'll be hard pressed to find a better drivers car, for the money, than a C5 ZO6. If budget allows then C6 ZO6.

Ahem... Scuderia shields are metal and sit in a little indention in the 1/4 panel. Cars with no shields are hard to sell.
Unless you get hand painted shields.
If we are talking bang for buck then Im passing up the C8 and going with the GT500 for the same money. 760hp...

Sure.
That orange one with the carbon wheels looks awesome.
760hp is nuts. So many forms of redneckery will ensue at Cars and Coffee. And multiple sets of carbon wheels...

A 5.0 Mustang is still on my bucket list, a corvette is not.
When I had a 993, every douche bag in a Vette wanted to race.

eta: if you're need to make a correlation between Engine Builders and something, it would be Chassis builders. Better handling machines that deliver power to the ground (drivetrain) defeat engine builders - old school or new 99.999 percent of the time.
The team that is developing both aspects at a high level are the ones winning. I don't care if you're at the regional go cart track.
In today's racing environment, Aerodynamic development is mostly about using force as an aid in the delivery of (engine) power to the ground and cooling.
Drag coefficient's are less of a concern and more of an attribute. Properly using air mass for lift, cooling, downforce, steering or regeneration.
Even if Enzo said it - It's still stupid as it applies in the now.
those that said the sun revolves around the earth were smart until they weren't. Repeating it as sacrosanct is how many times worse?Last edited by Gepeto; 07-20-2019 at 06:33 PM.

so think about how much faster the car with good aerodynamics AND a hot engine can go ?
also a car that can run at 200MPH+ needs to stay on the ground and not overheat which are both a part of aerodynamicsLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

The New Corvette probably means MUCH better prices on used Corvettes... Unless, of course, if the new Corvette turns out to be a total piece of shit lemon...
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!
