King of the Hill!
Chevrolet has done it again:

Re: King of the Hill!
By a blistering 1.37 seconds!
...and at about 1/4 the price tag too. At 150 mph 1.37 seconds is technically about the length of a football field...

Re: King of the Hill!
Are they comparing it to a 2019 Ford GT? Does Ford even make GT's anymore?
No matter I suppose, the Corvette is an impressive car.

Re: King of the Hill!
Thanks for the ride
Just cause, I popped the ear buds in to to go for that spin. That is one ferocious sounding motor especially at full throttle. . Im sure those sticky summer tires helped out a great deal. Anyone want that corvette option for their truck?

Re: King of the Hill!
At least you can sell your Corvette the day after you buy it if you choose, Ford made GT buyers sign a contract that they can't sell the car for 2 years after purchase. John Cena didn't listen and is being sued.

Re: King of the Hill!
I watched the video! AMAZING! ....and that looks like one really tough track!
I'd say it's time for Chevrolet to take one of these to the Nurburgring. They really HATE Corvettes over there. HAHAHAA (evil laugh)
