Interesting. Cant wait to drive the new Corvette on the track.

Hmmm...

The 2014 Nissan GT-R doesn't lose this one because it's not $47,020 better than the Corvette. It loses because it's not better than the Corvette, period.

Expected.

There aren't too many production cars the C7 will lose to on a track. And by production cars, I mean cars with an established dealer network where you can take them in for service such as Porsche/Ferrari/Lamborghini...not a Pagani or Koenigsegg 14 year-old's wet dream.

CirrusSR22 · 09-05-2013, 10:37 PM

Nice! And this is still the base Vette.

buildbright · 09-05-2013, 11:48 PM

Does it matter if the GTR or the Corvette is faster? Buy what you like and which has the handling that speaks to you. Both cars will give you very different experiences.

Thanks, Mr. Rogers.

The review is a heavily biased crock. Even guys on vette forums are chuckling at it

Yeah. They totally drove the GTR slow around the track on purpose. Or purposely left some of the computers off.

Have to agree. New Vette is a great car, but that GTR is called Godzilla for a reason!

buildbright · 09-06-2013, 01:24 PM

GTR owners vs Corvette owners. I am surprised the journalist hasn't been kid napped and tortured. Lol

MediaArtist · 09-06-2013, 01:31 PM

I'm just glad SkyNET lost.

I think the Corvette is a great car for the record. But hey guys "it's just a Chevy"

See5 · 09-06-2013, 02:13 PM

M_C7 on there is a GT-R owner not a Corvette owner.

I don't see where the test was skewed in any manner. People keep quoting times from Motor Trend but it was Randy Probst driving, of course the times are going to be faster and would probably be faster for the Corvette as well.

It was run what you brung. I guess they can go back when its cooler outside and add some race gas so the GT-R fans can be satisfied.

Otherwise, we're just going to see more jimmy rustling. Edmunds had all of these cars there at once I think. The Viper and GT-R were up. Porsche guys are up next.

If you click his garage it shows three different Vettes . m c7

?

It is what it is whatever it is.
Is it happy hour yet....
