[@AnonAnon-qi4ts]

Thank you for the english subs! I have a C7 Z51 7MT with the mag suspension and I always took it kind of personal the way they goofed on Corvettes like the ZR1 and C6. My C7 truthfully drives very similar to my old AP2 just 20% larger with twice the horsepower. Even has a quicker steering rack. You can even set the display to look like the bar graph from the S2000. These are a steal for being in the mid-thirty thousand dollar range and the insurance is dirt cheap because it's considered an old man's car!

[@9unslin9er]

I can't believe what people are willing to pay for a S2000 with 100,000+ miles on it that puts out half the power of a C7.

[@burningknuckle26]

Yup lc500 all day

[@Speedster_ELuu86]

The LC500 looks more luxurious than sporty. I think the RC F would be a better competitor

[@shingoose6197]

LC500 is a GT, and the C7 Corvette is a sports car (some versions could be considered supercars...). The 50/50 weight distribution (helped by the transaxle), GM's differential calibrations, and their front end tuning really make these cars fly. Similar front end treatment has been seen on the Cadillac ATS-V and CTS-V of the same era, mid to late 2010s. GM engineers won't say exactly what they're doing, but, as Jason Cammisa put it, these cars are "dynamagic," which he says is achieved through a combination of diff programming, magnetic shock tuning, and the PTM (stability control) system. At least in terms of the ATS-V, if you experience understeer, you could "simply add more lock to the steering wheel. In response, the car tightens its line." The C7 does the same.

[@alen9017]

I adore the C7. I was the most excited about C8 while everyone complained about “roots” and “heritage”, but when it finally landed, I found it paled in comparison. I’m glad GM brought Corvette into the 21st century, but damn that C7 was balanced and gorgeous! Hopefully the C8 Z06 and ZR1s are monsters though.

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

@@80PercentAshamedOfU don't think people realize they've been planning to make a corvette like the C8 for decades in concept form that they're even present at the corvette Museum as mid engine vettes also and even having a near planned rotary mid engine vette also so they have no reason to be mad at chevy for the making of the C8.
