I think this is a lot prettier than the Model S.

Its not just raw power, the way torque and horsepower are created by the engine and where in are they in reference to RPMs. More gears in transmissions, transmissions that “shift” in less time than it takes person to blink. All of those contribute to better times for 0 - 60 and 1000 ft etc.

The Stingray is also a much better car in every possible way (0-60 in 3.8 sec), but how many new Stingrays have you already seen on the road? Corvettes are always wonderful machines but they are generally bought by old men. I passed a Stingray in anger yesterday because the old guy wasn’t getting up to speed for a…

Yeah, I was waiting for info about the 2.5 motor, but nothing

Yeah, but it is just ungodly, insanely expensive.

Timing belts are theoretically stronger than timing chains too.
