That passenger seatbelt makes a nice g meter.

i don’t trust the opinion of someone who chose an auto wrangler over a manual.

Good Big Air Sucker™.

I’ve got a confession to make. Whenever I see something about horsepower numbers expressed as HP...

The parallel with 1986 and how many people went on strike makes sense. The Labor Market was tight in 1986, with 7% unemployment. But the way they calculated unemployment back then was different (aka the real unemployment rate). From what I can tell, if we calculate current unemployment rates by the older formulas (U-6…

Hard to believe this is a 13 year old design. This still looks very fresh and modern to me.  

Minor point, but if you read the whole Car and Driver article they also state that the interior is the best one yet for a Corvette.  Overall they really liked it.  You putting emphasis on them “dinging” the interior seems a bit misleading.  My take from their article is that the car is too tame, not special enough,…

GM let people drive pre-prod vehicles. That’s pretty awesome and risky. Good for them.

It sure sounds to me like a lot of these people aren’t able to drive to the car. At. All. And instead just get lost or frustrated when it won’t slide like a drift mode RS or something. A few of them even almost “get it” mentioning that it’s a fine balance and if you treat the throttle right the car will fly off the…

Assuming no dealer markups, $60K for that engineering marvel strikes me as the car bargain of the century.  I’m drooling.

Lots of praise and comparisons to McLaren and Porsche, but also questions as to whether the Corvette faithful will warm up to it.

I’m not surprised with the understeer actually. Move the engine off the front wheels and it was bound to happen. I doubt most owners will have enough driver skill to notice. One “hack” that was discovered on YouTube is if you pull both shift paddles at the same time, it disengages the clutch so you can rev it while…

Tuning this car for understeer is going to save a lot of lives and countless accidents. People have been driving front engine Corvette’s for 50+ years. My guess is 99.99% have never driven a mid-engine car even remotely as powerful, so your typical owner is going to get a C8 and drive it exactly like they would a C7.…

The two things about the first time you graduate from a fast street car to a race car are as follows: “Oh my god these brakes are nuts” and “Wow it actually understeers like a pig”. Unless the C8 has Early-Audi TT like handling issues that need correcting, this could be a good sign. They’re meant to be driven on the…

Who needs a Jeep?

Don’t most of these problems go away with a winch on the front and a steering remote control so you can walk along beside the vehicle and monitor for potential harm?

That flip was easily preventable by not goosing it hard on the steepest part, with lockers he should have been able to comfortably crawl it.

I know it makes zero sense from a business (and now environmental) standpoint, but I have always wished that the flagship Lincolns and Cadillacs had big modern V12 (or V16s) in them because opulence and heritage. They would be right at home in the huge Navigator and Escalade with so much room under the hood.

Ahh yes, why should parents have any sort of compassion or rational thought for their offspring? Why, they should be thankful we even feed the fuckers let alone take them places. Horrible Bastards...
