Bought a Corvette

[Bubbleawsome]

Tracked it yet? How fast have you been?

 

[AdamK47]

Haven't tracked it, but I have been known to go... fast.

 

[who?]

A Toyota Camry hybrid has 208 total horsepower.

There should be a Garage equivalent to the babe thread in L&R.

I'm amused that the new Corvette Z06 accelerates so violently that it triggers the Onstar crash warning system if you take it on a race track.

That's a ZR1 so another 100hp or so over a Z06. I actually think it was something besides acceleration that triggered it. Been around plenty of 1000+ whp C7's that are launching with drag radials and they don't do it.

Looks like it goes off for the first time when he pulls 1.5g sideways. I imagine that most cars would have to be in an accident to activate that. Other time might be him hitting the curb on the last corner.

Wow, nice!

 

[AdamK47]

I haven't driven the car since that last photo I posted here. It's in the garage and I have storage insurance on it.

I'm very much looking forward to Spring.

SW Ohio right? When I was up there over Thanksgiving, I was reminded why sports car seemed so much more rare.

It keeps the miles low and the paint pristine.

Took the C7 Z06 to the park for some sunny photos. This car looks spectacular.

 

[Tormac]

Man that is a pretty car!

Thanks for posting the photos.

Traded the C7Z06 for VITAX a couple weeks ago. Lost about 10% on the car after nearly 3 years. Not too bad I guess.

This is 30 minutes before it was sold.

 

[AdamK47]

I'll miss the car terribly. It was just the right time to sell.

What is a Vitax?

It's the right time to sell and in about a year the right time to buy a new C8.

 

[AdamK47]

The next Corvette I get is going to be another Z06. Whenever that may be.

No doubt a RED one? Not the color I would choose If I wanted to spend that much $$$. Matte Grey/Flat black would be nice. 😉

 

[AdamK47]

Torch Red is always a go to choice for a Corvette. That color has been around for decades.

 

[NutBucket]

Gray cars are boring. Red and yellow are definitely the way to go for a Vette.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I’m curious, what did you think of the fit and finish on your Vette after living with it for a while? Any complaints?

I have a convertible Mercedes with 469hp that I have put about 12k miles on and I definitely have some opinions about it.
