Hard to sell me on that vs. an SL, SLK, f-type, XK or even a used maserati or new ghibli.
Not a fan of euro cars in the slightest bit...
Sounds like a personal prejudice. I myself didn't used to be a believer. I'd shit my pants trying to throw USA-spec automotive heft around the roads here though.Quote:

And anyways, you can argue all day that GM is somehow "easier to work on", but that doesn't change the fact that they have shitty build quality. I'll take high build quality, reliability & somewhat difficult to work on...over low build quality, questionable reliability & piss easy to work on. At this point in my life, I'm pretty much fed up with tinkering on cars anyways. Makes you wonder why I still have a 3/s....
I think the interior is vastly improved, I do want to see more track runs with though especially the z06 to confirm all of what they say about handling improvements.Quote:

They are also ~3400lbs, no where near sub 3k.
My ~350rwhp FD can just barely pull a M7 C7 from a roll in cool air down around 80-90rwhp and a lot of torque. Being 650lbs lighter is good for something..lol Seen then trapping 115-119 stock.

yea I did read about that, it's definitely one negative already detected is that the new c7 is 200lbs heavier then the c6. they went in the wrong direction with the weight! what's strange is that they have an all aluminum frame now where as before the base c6's were mostly steel, somehow they found a way to stuff in well over 200lbs to make it the weight it is now either that or the aluminum frame they are using is MUCH thicker then the previous steel one.
