    The new Corvette....

    I am surprised that there isn't already a post about the new Corvette on GFY....

    I have never been a huge fan of the Corvette - I like them but don't love them - but it seems like Chevy knocked it out of the park with their new Corvette... Which starts under $60k.

      Looks very Lambo-ish.

        I love it, just wish it came with a manual option.

          That's exactly what I thought..... It looks like a Lambo.

          Corvette has been looking more like an exotic car for some time now.... I think it's great.

            I don't think anyone needs manual any more.... It's more of a throw back at this point. Automatics are just so much more faster.

            I think I read that the Corvette could go into manual mode with paddle shifters?

              The new Corvette is the first mid-engine version. It's about time. I drove the 2018 version last summer and its beautiful and sexy and awesome, but all the weight in the front made the car too slippery on the road. This new version should change that.

              I'm sad to see Manual Transmissions go, but I understand the reason. As fun as they are, they suck in the city, they are slow compared to automatic, add a lot of weight and extra parts, and very very expensive to service.

              I can't wait until GM rolls out the electric Corvette. (And electric Camaro).

                Yes Mark, we all fully believe that you "test drove" a Corvette and were driving it so hard that the front end was breaking loose in the turns or that you could barely get it to drive in a straight line.

                .
                Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

                  It's a DCT which will surely be faster than a manual, definitely not arguing that. Even the new Ford Mustang GT500 will not come with a manual option.

                  I'm in it more for the experience. I had a 700hp car with a fully built racing transmission w/ paddles and it gets boring rather quickly. #savethemanuals

                    My Mustang was a six speed and put out 450 hp. It was a pain in the ass to drive at low speeds. If you drive on curvy roads where you can push it all the time, that's great. But my car spend most of it's time in the suburbs.

                            I'm curious, then, what was/is the point of having such a car if you never took it anywhere to enjoy how it was meant to be driven?

                            To me, having an automatic sportscar is like having an automatic motorcycle. Why bother?

                              Exactly what I'm getting at. Im a track guy myself...1/4 mile is fun and all but it takes a real driver to hit the road course.

                                Automatics are heavier than manuals and require more maintenance and parts. You know what happens when those clutches inside the wear out? A full trans rebuild. On a manual all you would do is replace the clutch which doesnt require a full overhaul.

                                Autos are MUCH more expensive to service than a manual.

                                  Maybe he is thinking for electric motors. That caught me off-guard as well.

                                                LOL! You're Kinda pathetic.

                                                A Corvette is a rear-wheel drive, not a front wheel drive. The front of the car is heavier than in the back. It's beautifully engineered and rock stable in turns even at high speed. This is not at all what I was talking about, asshole. You can set the car into various modes such as Track Mode, Manual mode, etc. Some modes stop the rear wheels from spinning when you gun it. In full manual mode this is hard to control because the car is light in the back. Moving the engine to the back can create a better grip. Better grip = less wheel spin = faster departure.

                                                My 2013 2SS RS 1LE 600HP 6SP Camaro had settings similar to this, one of them called "Launch Mode". Essentially you could floor the gas pedal and the rear wheels would spin as fast as possible while the computer would control grip.

                                                Next time you want to grandstand, it helps to know what the fuck you're talking about. If you don't, go back in to your corner and shut the fuck up.

                                                I stand corrected. In my personal experience (7 out of my 10 cars) have been manual. I wrecked the transmission on 2 of them and the cost was about $2000 each. I've never wrecked an automatic transmission.

                                                  Wrong, Manual gearboxes are lighter and have a lot less parts

                                                            You are correct but the Vette you can get in for $60k and will turn as many heads as the other 2.

When the car was new, the engine would engage the wheels when I would let the clutch up half way or so. But as it wore out, the engine would engage only once the clutch was near the top. This was fixed once. After about 4 years the car made this weird sound that I can't describe and it would not go to 3rd gear. I had to shift 1-2-4-5. This was a $2500 job to fix in 1994.

It's a road car where you don't need to turn the wheel 360 degrees...its not a school bus. Flat bottom at least, square wheels are awesome if you're into into doing anything other than drive in a straight line. F1 inspired parts refers to more than just the wheel. The CF unibody is based on F1 tech as is the entire vehicle.

It's a road car where you don't need to turn the wheel 360 degrees...its not a school bus. Flat bottom at least, square wheels are awesome if you're into into doing anything other than drive in a straight line.

                                                                                          Exactly, this is a road car so you are also supposed to drive it in traffic, narrow streets, parking lots, not racing circuits and if someone is too big to get in, it's just not a car for him.
