Stingray vs Corvette Grand Sport
In a quarter mile it's stingray, stingray, stingray, stingray, and stingray. Stingray vs ZL1 is more of a drivers race though with the edge going to the stingray.

Considering GM is rating them at 12 flat with 117mph traps the records are going to be pretty impressive. I don't see any of those cars stacking up evenly with equal drivers at sea level.

Not bad for a car with a base price of 51 grand. Might even give the GT500 a run for it's money.

I want one, I don't think the rear looks bad, it could look better though. Maybe they'll revise it in a few years like Ford did with the 10-12 GT

I think overall it looks much better than the C4-C6 vettes. (hard to compare older vettes as very different eras in comparable cars) Personally, Its the only corvette i'd want to own/drive now.. (Would also like a C1 to look at, or possibly a '63 stingray also for the garage).

460hp with 3.8 0-60.. pretty good stuff. at 51,000 it's a bit out of my price range, I could probably pick up a used in one in a couple of years if I still desire it. (I think I should just pay off my car and enjoy no car payments instead)

for reference, I think it looks better if it's 1 color, as opposed to the red/black I've seen in pics.



wait.. is that silver and black rear? oh no... maybe that still is no good.. darn it GM, make the rear 1 color...

also, im not too sure I like exhaust tips enclosed with the bumper (for modification standpoint)... still not bad looking, but I think a redesign is in order.



hehe.. I like blue... hmm that side reflector does look odd..

^ if the rears were a solid color they'd look better. so basically black is the only option lol. We did just get ours in today tho, arctic white 7speed manual. Looks ok, better in person up close then I thought, but the rear is still quite iffy.

After doing some looking around it looks like it'll be just as much, if not more, of a pain to work on as the last vettes. still have to pull the rack n pinion out to remove the crank pulley(worst part of a cam swap by far!). Exhaust setup is strange, will have to remove about 30 bolts and a bottom brace to get the catback off. And it took me about 10 friggin minutes to remove the friggin secondary o2 sensor out of ours tonight(hopefully longtubes and a better midpipe design helps that out).


Oh, and for the record it put down 414/410, made those exact hp numbers on 3 back to back to back pulls, pretty stout!
