Ban. Now.

How can you not love Corvettes?

It's probably the only high-performance sports car from America I would consider buying. The Ford GT is too porky and unlike it's race-bred predecessor the GT40, it's not much of a handler. The Dodge Viper is just too much of a handful. It's great for burning through streets and turning tires into vapor, but it's not exactly something I'd bring to a time attack event.

The Corvette on the other hand is almost perfection. Great power on tap, engine response only an NA engine could bring, a balanced chassis and can tackle corners as well as straights. I still maintain that if I had the money I'd get the Corvette ZR1 over the Nissan GT-R any day, anywhere.

I agree. The GT-R takes too much away from the driver and is way too heavy.

It's a great car and personally I think it's one of the best bargains you could buy when it comes to performance for your money. However, the problem with the GT-R is that it's too controlled. It has nothing to let you know that if you took a hairpin on a track at high speed that it was YOU who did it, not the car.

I thought for sure you would mention something about the BMW, not the vette, haha.

But damn does that 427 sound SWEET!!

 

[Cabbs]

Yeah, it did sound really good.

 

[alvino]

Haha, the BMW was pretty nice too. Horsepower Freaks has some nice turbocharger kits for the M3. Personally I like to keep it naturally aspirated, but it's nice hearing some BOV action from time to time.

I guess it depends on the car for me. I love boost though, so I'm all for just about anything boosted. I don't care for big-turbo 1000HP cars that make all their power in a small range though.
