The last C6

3/1/2013 2:35:45 PM

^^

I've always been dumbfounded at that video.

First of all, how the fuck does a car get away from you like that in a straight line?

Second, C5s have stability and traction control that defaults to "ON". He would have had to turn it off. However, there's also "Competition Mode" which retains stability (I think with relaxed intervention thresholds) but disables TC. This is how I track mine. Why in the hell wouldn't he have switched it to comp mode if he wanted to disable TC?

3/1/2013 3:48:22 PM

Better question is why would he even try racing a superior car.

3/1/2013 3:53:41 PM

well you never know what's done to the C5...

...and that's never stopped a whole slew of people in cars without a chance in hell from trying to race me. I think some people don't care if they lose, some people just want to see a fast car run, and then a sizable chunk are just clueless and somehow think their shit isn't slow.

3/1/2013 4:09:50 PM

yeah... again... ford guy.. but it doesn't take shit to wake up an LS motor.

3/1/2013 4:35:09 PM

I must say that red one is nice looking, even with the square lights.

3/14/2013 11:48:33 AM

I am contemplating getting a C7 but am not settled on it.

I love shooting brakes, but not a Vette.

3/17/2013 9:57:03 AM

Oh my, that looks delicious!

3/17/2013 1:58:06 PM

Lol, looks like that station-wagon Porsche.

3/17/2013 4:52:47 PM

Looks a lot like a Ferrari FF....still damn sexy.

3/17/2013 5:01:01 PM

^^^ agreed.

^^ looks very different from it. closest in looks would be the ferrari ff, but this vette has a better more balanced body outline, with zero awkwardness.





Also,

When did Porsche start making a Panamera station wagon?

3/18/2013 10:31:49 AM

without knowing it... kinda always...

3/18/2013 10:34:08 AM

^^Lol.

3/18/2013 11:48:43 AM

3/18/2013 2:28:54 PM

4door hatch = wagon
Lol.

See wrx....

Wagon.

[Edited on March 18, 2013 at 2:45 PM. Reason : Lol]

3/18/2013 2:38:21 PM

WRX 5 door is a hatchback! dammit.

Why don't you ask the EPA I'm sure they'll be happy to tell ya

3/18/2013 4:19:43 PM

if there's a side window after the rear door, it's a wagon

3/18/2013 5:11:34 PM

damn... i'm cutting a t-bird esque port hole window in the porsche

thats a good definition tho...


h8er ftw.

3/18/2013 5:45:55 PM

I'm confused. H8R's post reinforced my statement

3/18/2013 11:39:39 PM

Yeah I concede cept a wrx is a wagon... Atleast until the 08 model

5/2/2013 4:00:23 PM

Sometime this fall, 52k for a base model. I can't afford it


30k C6Z or 25k C6 ls3

5/2/2013 4:06:58 PM

I've yet to see a $30k C6Z. That'll be the day I probably buy one... Maybe... IDK.

5/2/2013 9:02:34 PM

I've seen 35k this year so I'm expecting to see 30k in a year or so. I hope

5/2/2013 9:49:33 PM

Jesus. That's awesome. My buddy just bought a C6 Z51 for $32k ish a couple months ago. HAHA. He's gonna be pissed if I show him a $35k z06. Closest I've found is $39k.

But still... wow.

Possible frame damage I suspect on that one.

This car is crazy sexy in white

8/4/2013 12:00:12 PM

They have shipped. Now I have to find a dealership with one to go test drive.

9/18/2013 5:05:31 PM

white one looks good

looks like a a damn GT-R with a corvette front end in that picture

9/18/2013 5:27:44 PM

Got to AutoX a 2009 C6 (stock except for exhaust, including stock run flat street tires) at a Corvette club event last weekend. Placed 2nd out of 30 by raw time thanks to rain, lol. But I really enjoyed the Corvette...it won't happen anytime soon, but I think I want a C7 in a few years.

I bet these things are crazy hard to get for the first year heh.

9/19/2013 1:15:29 AM

I just want the C6 Z06 prices to plummet,

Other than the front fender air extractor, what styling similarities do you see?

9/19/2013 8:33:53 AM

from that angle, the overall shape, from the windshield/roof back.

just my opinion of course.

9/19/2013 10:03:24 AM

Roof line

"Fast back" area looks similar to me

9/19/2013 3:30:46 PM

Looks great.

"Callaway has reportedly green-lighted the AeroWagon for production but at a higher price tag than originally announced. When Callaway released the first photo and preliminary details of its Corvette Stingray shooting brake they said it will cost about 15,000 USD to perform the conversion but now the price has increased considerably to 22,995 USD. For this money you will get a new hatch made from carbon fiber structural elements created using a Resin Transfer Molding process to develop a lightweight yet sturdy rear. Callaway mentions the AeroWagon will be able to hit a top speed of more than 200 mph (322 km/h) which means some upgrades for the V8 6.2-liter engine are in the works since the standard C7 can't reach that figure. Aside from the higher top speed, Callaway wants the AeroWagon to provide the highest mileage rating in its segment. Source: carbuzz.com"

all i want is an on track review in stock form by a real driver and not some cunt rag magazine that thinks every car with a 0-60 <6s is "quite capable." brakes, cooling, throttle response, lateral grip

10/1/2013 10:03:59 AM

Read the one where Tony Stewart ran it around the GM proving grounds.

10/1/2013 10:05:21 AM

^^^ Good god that is one hideous vehicle. Other than the hot hatch, the shooting brake has got to be the ugliest form factor in all of automotive design.

Exactly, it was in Road & Track. Shouldn't be hard to find.
