C7 Grand Sport.

You probably wouldn’t, which is true of most modern luxury cars, at least according to Jalopnik wisdom.

Like many things on the C7, that stuff is customizable: http://www.chevrolet.com/2015-corvette-…

Every review I’ve read so far makes it seems like the extra wide tires are quite a difference by themselves, and “serious about the track” does not require completely ripping out a suspension.

But hey, spend your money how you want to. You seem to have a pretty good idea of what you want to do and how you want to do…

For now we only have the MSRP for the Grand Sport to compare against, so yes, we were using the MSRP for base cars.

The red car pictures are the same in the Autoblog article that seemed to be the first posted about this event, I’d guess those were part of the media kit.

I’m always fascinated by people that say Corvettes have to go mid-engined because you can’t possible give a front engined car anymore power, then they go out and giddily drive another 700+ hp V12 GT from Ferrari.

Yes. Every journalist was driven around by Olly or one of the hot-shoe engineers before they did their own laps. There are in-car PDM videos of Olly driving, really shows how crazy the turn-in is. Even when he’s not talking, you can tell when it’s him driving: he attacks the curbs and is 4-5 seconds a lap faster than…

Comparing used/aftermarket to new for value is always tough and rarely fair.

People that buy them to take them, bone stock, to a local classic car show are the same people most likely to get an automatic. The people who get manuals are driving them, not parking them.

Because a lot of people don’t consider it unique or high-class enough for how they see themselves.

Hard Underground = Level 32s, Challenging Missions = Level 32s. The difference is that people know what’s going to happen in the Challenging Missions pretty well, so they know when and where the shotgunners are going to come from. They are your biggest problem in almost every situation, everything else (minus grenade…

The recommended Gear Score is wrong, at least for Challenging.

The factory just finished with $439 million in upgrades that gave them an automated paint shop. I don’t think $290 million is evidence of anything substantial like a complete architecture change, it’s more likely just keeping the place updated in general.

Which is the opposite of what Nintendo has said so far: they delayed the release of the NX so that more games would be ready for it.

But what they say and what is the truth is rarely completely aligned when it comes to big business.

I replied to your second or third comment, and did not see the one(s) previous to it that established your position on Nintendo as an innovator :) I chose to reply to yours as I thought it was the most recent of the “Nintendo gimmicks” discussion, not because I could tell which side it was on and felt the need to…

I don’t think we saw each of each other’s posts, thanks to the lovely comment filtering system. Or just perhaps timing of writing posts.

I find it interesting that people still don’t understand the point of GT racing, complaining that they should just make it a spec series with all the same cars, a true test of drivers.

The problem with the Wii wasn’t that motion controls were a gimmick, the problem was that Nintendo (correctly) predicted that people would buy a less expensive, less powerful system if it had motion controls and fun, simple games with which to use them. They were right! They were not able to convince those people to…
