I actually like the cylinder deactivation in my C7. It’s not super noticeable as long as you only use it on full cruise highway situations since the motor is revved to ~1500rpm @ 75mph or so. I’m also okay with direction injection & flat plane cranks. I’m not opposed to advancements, but I do think that it’s a…

Driving from Boston, MA to Buffalo, NY, the exhaust midpipe of my old Honda Civic’s hatch fell out and started bouncing and scraping on the ground, shooting Sparks and the such. It was roughly 1am so no way to get it into a shop. I stopped at a Wal Mart, bought a hammer and a pipe wrench, beat the hell out of the…

I’m sold.

They better make a 2WD version because burnouts, also America. Then, you can also kill tires.

Currently doing this. Recently acquired a C7 Corvette for going fast. Aiming to acquire either a LR4 or Range Rover by October to go anywhere. #fixed

Crazy. My C7 Corvette gets anywhere between 31mpg in “eco” mode on cruise control in 7th gear at like 1400 RPM highway speed to basically 0 mpg if you just goose the hell out of it around town. I find that it averages higher MPG than both the WRX & STi I used to own with significantly more performance. This article…

This is the most Buffalo comment possible. Don’t worry, I’m from Hamburg and I agree entirely with the mom sentiment. It’s a Buffalo thing.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I’ll let LaFerrari’s do that.

Looks like I will need to stubbornly Clint Eastwood-style hold on to my C7 Corvette as electric motored AWD rockets take over the future. GIVE ME GASOLINE AND BURNOUTS AND PUSHRODS AND AMERICA. Thanks!

Drop the new LT1 in there and have extra fun. This car would be incredible with some ignorant pushrods and 460+ crank horse.

It seems very logical that this would work to the benefit of the manufacturer to inflate pricing as the current model is set up to have some give or take in pricing dependent on current market demand. I personally would never purchase a Lexus as I feel that their product does not meet or exceed my expectation of the…

the one in my garage, generally.

DAT STANCE THO

The hide button in my C7 Corvette is my favorite feature in the car. Except for the “make the exhaust louder and stomp on the go pedal” feature that sounds like American eagles procreating in public.

That CDV was one of the primary reasons I chose not to purchase a e92. Plus, new BMWs kind of suck anyway. But that was sort of the kicker that really closed that book.

I own this car in this color. This completely ruins the car. The worst possible. Painted silver wheels (NOT CHROME) and the regular grill look infinitely better.

As someone who just purchased a C7, THIS IS TOO ADDICTING:

Absolutely. The Cayman is a gorgeous platform. I've more than strongly considered it also. Literally the only drawback for me was the gearing for autocross, and the shitty classing for SCCA. Realistically, as a daily? It's probably better.

$59,500, 1850 miles w/ certified pre-owned warranty. I figured putting a couple grand in my pocket plus getting the extended warranty was intelligent. They also offered me $32.5k on a 2015 STi with 9000 miles - which I paid $33.5k for April of last year, haha.
