Test Drove a new '08 C6 Vette

[Rock302]

Test drove an '08 Vette over the weekend and I have to admit it's a beast, makes my Cobra feel like a Taurus! The brakes on the car are amazing and acceleration just plain wicked. I drove the base model 6.2L LS3, I can't imagine what the Z06 would feel like.

The Chevy employee pricing program is very tempting!!!!!!!

and lighter, and better weight distribution, and better suspension, brakes....also have 1.6 liters on us - that's like another 4cyl. I drove the C6 LS2 2 years back, that was a nice car even in an auto, a stick LS3 must be the tits.

the ls3 is animal. Its got a good 125hp on ya.

I'll let you drive my GT and it will make that Vette feel like a Focus. Unless you want to turn or stop..

Honestly though, with the economy the way it is and the uncertainty of my job situation I might hold off but it sure is tempting as hell!!!!!!!!!

Power wise my car is stock so the LS3 (430hp) has a big jump in HP and torque (424 ft.-lb.).

On a down note, here's a link to an accident that killed two teenagers street racing in a 1997 Vette in Dublin California:

I'm a responsible driver but when the power is there it is definitely tempting to mash it every now and then. A teenager with little driving experience shouldn't be allowed to drive a car with that kind of power, that's just my opinion.

I got a ride in a new Z06 this spring. The pull was incredible and didn't let off a bit as it approached 7000rpm. The most amazing part of the car, is the chassis and suspension. It generally hooks first gear.

I'd still take a slobra over any bowtie(or anything else for that matter) any day of the week. I'll bet that thing was an animal though.

Yeah, that thing was an animal. A Z06 must be an animal on steroids!!!

I'm a big mustang fan but also a muscle car fan so if I had a choice between a new Z06 or a Shelby GT500 I might have to go with the Z06.

I'm sure the GT500 is also blast to drive but it's a big boat compared to the vette

 

[Winters98GT]

a mustang will always be a muscle car. The c6 z06 is on the verge of being a supercar.
