I'm digging the new Stingrays, and the new direct injected LS engine is pretty badass.

The insurance on that Z28 would leave you stinging for sure

The maintenance bills on a GTR are off the charts. I'd stay the F away from a used one, no matter what the price is.

No, the new Stingrays are using the 6.2L direct injected LS that makes more power than the 7.0L engine LS in previous Corvettes. It also gets better gas mileage with fewer emissions.

The Z06 will also be fitted with a Supercharger. Not sure what the plans are for the ZR1.

That number is just ridiculous. I doubt the suspension could even hook properly to make that much power worthwhile. It's not just the engine that would need some SERIOUS upgrading, it'd be the whole damn car. Im sorry, but there is just no way you can make a reliable 2Kwhp car for 30K. No way. Not happening. I mean, sure, you can tune it to that and produce a fancy dyno sheet. But driving it around like that for daily use? Pfffff..... We've built 1K+ HP cars here at at the shop, dyno tune them for a nice sheet, and then de-tune them down to 600-700 HP so our customers can actually drive them. The amount of work that goes into the motor, chassis, suspension, trans, rear end etc is tremendous just to support 1K for a quick dyno run. |
