Chevrolet has done it again:

Man, am I glad I'm a GM man.

(Oh, and watch the video with the sound turned up.)

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...

Very cool!!!!!!

dieseldawg142 · 02-01-2018, 01:55 PM

Outstanding!!!!

61_FL_Apache · 02-01-2018, 08:08 PM

I just watched the track video in the Vette.. Very cool!!

**special-K** · 02-01-2018, 09:09 PM

That's some driving! What a car?

CG · 02-01-2018, 10:09 PM

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.

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?

**special-K** · 02-02-2018, 07:31 AM

That was Hank Hill driving??

Isn't the new GT powered by a V6?

Yea, twin turbo 3.5 ecoboost. It only has 647 hp.

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.

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)
