600hp for 100k, probably trapping at over 120 and running 10's stock

How fun, an edit.
Let's see.
Koenigsegg: More expensive by a factor of 6
Carrera GT: More expensive by a factor of 4
Zonda: More expensive by a factor of...at least 3
And how many of these could be purchased stateside anyway? Don't forget to add that additional bit into your price comparison
Just an engine upgrade. But I'll be the first to admit, if I get Corvette, I'm not going to track it. Just some 'go fast' on the streets and highways.
Doesn't this look fun? LPE kits rule, especially if you have a line on a cheap C5 Vette.

I was comparing cars in the price range.
And I said 600 HP is not impressive because it has been done before...(not like there no production car with 600 HP). It would WOW me if theres no car that has 600 HP.
So there's nothing impressive about this car, except that its a fast car, WHICH everyone of its competitions are. and 911 Turbo doesn't have 600 HP, this new Vette probably as fast as that.
So there's a WOW you looking for, they build a really fast car.
aahhh, but what kind of track time have you done in those cars that would let you push those cars to the limit much like you would have to do to the cars you guys are talking about to be able to tell the difference between fast and really fast? 🙂 just messin' with ya... i just think it's a dumb argument to be having... each car is nice in its own way...
yes, the new ss will be fast, but it won't have the fit and finish of your ferrari or your porsche... so...? you pay for the difference. to each his own, and to each car its own demographic.
Btw I'd like to add that I've driven (not on a track mind you) a 911 Turbo, a standard 06 Corvette, and currently own a 99' R/T 10.
The Viper doesnt kid you about what it is. An engine on wheels thats dressed to impress. The body is amazing IMO. It doesnt try to create a ferrari mystique of any kind. The Corvette has lost all its identity in an attempt to have the race track bragging rights (which it now has) but it still doesnt have any kind of lasting value and it will always be considered a lower tier vehicle.
Just my 2 cents.

oh, and rnp64, the z06 beat a 911 turbo in an issue of car & driver on a track around buttonwillow... imagine a lighter and more powerful one 🙂
i wouldn't say the 911 turbo wins hands down, but i'd give it the W b/c well... it's a porsche! there's a reason they've been tops for so long, they've got the performance, fit and finish down to an awesome overall package!

Surely you can't blame GM for consumer demand driving prices up.
Unless you think there's something wrong with selling a car that too many people want and charging a price that's too low?
Perhaps you prefer that they made a Corvette that no one wanted and charged way too much for it...

I never argue that it doesn't give best HP for the buck. I said that there other cars that are just as fast and can perform just as well for the money AND can be use for daily cruises.
AND I said the 600 HP has been done before, so it doesn't IMPRESS me nor does it provide any extra "WOW" factor to the car. Unlike the Veyron, which is the first production car that has over 1000 HP. The first time someone put out 600 HP, its cool. Now there's car with 1000 HP, 600 HP isn't that cool/impressive. That's what I meant when I said "not like 600 HP hasn't been done before"
Track time in a base Corvette...
But with that thinking, aren't all arguments about supercars dumb arguments? I imagine the majority sold are only driven to the golf course and back (and to Hooters and back :thumbsup😉.
And your last paragraph is the point I made pages ago: different cars at different prices are made for different people and it's silly to compare across genres.
