The C7 Corvette

[Mike T]

I really like the look of the New Corvette but a lot of the aftermarket exhaust systems don't sound quite right to me. Instead of the traditional V8 sound they seem to sound a little like a European sports car.

It almost sounds like a TSM car.

That's impressive.

It's hard to overlook the power the LS engines are making. I watched it again and just noticed the 1.403 60'.

I think that's the stock exhaust with the valve opened up.

In general the LS motors sound different because GM changed the firing order. It's not the same as a SBC.

I rented one in Vegas and loved it. I was surprised how much attention it got for being a Vette.

are those drag radials, thats sweet.

To me it looks like Ferrari helped GM with the looks of the new Vette....it looks very Ferrariesque. The magnetic shocks used by Ferrari are made by Delphi which is owned by GM. I believe the ZR1 uses Ferrari brakes.

It favors Ferrari styling too me as well.

I bet with a few mods to a stock one you could make many "trouble free" 10 second passes.

It's technically not a LS motor anymore. This is designated the LT1. It has direct port injection, VVT, and DOD. It is 6.2L, but is a different bore and stroke than the LS3.

I didn't realize that there had been so many changes to the engine as well. I see a few of these cars on CL in the 60k range.

That corvette is just a sweet killer. GM is definitely stepping it up.

I complimented a guy driving one today.

11.3 at 119-122 mph is how fast they are with the right driver and conditions, bone stock on stock tires. That is movin'!!!

IDK if this is the same car but it went 9.39 @155 with twin turbos.
