That’s the first time
I’ve seen that orange car
Race.

Usually it just runs solo passes.

Great entertainment

Dodge had a great plan then made the brilliant decision to cancel everything and build an ev for Joe biden. Wtf

That was a slap in the face to every Dodge owner. So much for intelligence

Those times are on the slow side for a DA of 400 for Ron's Demon (first pass of a 9.30). I ran a 9.33 launching from 2nd gear in my demon, completely stock at a higher DA. Maybe I am missing something.

I wasn't interested in Corvette at all until the engine went in the back. Z06 ticked all the boxes for me. If you've not heard one above 6,000 rpm....oh my.

May have to ride in one just to ride in one. Rear engine does nothing for me. My friend Tim bought a lambo back in 2012 or so and I rode in that. Lots of engine nosie I wouldn't want everyday

You hear NOTHING inside the C8

Best way I can describe the C8 rear engine config....

Driving the Hellcat/Demon is like sitting on top of a shoe box. You feel when it turns.

Driving the C8 Z06 is like being inside at the very center of a sphere and when you turn it turns around you.

My buddies base model 2025 495hp Vette makes my 707 hp Cat look like a dump truck on the street
With the rear engine she hooks & goes

I haven t been a fan of the Vette for many years but the C8 is a sweet car

I enjoy both in different ways

Long ago someone asked a Chev engineer about the Grand National being faster than the Vette, the engineer replied something like "they needed to race a little farther".

At Land Speed Trials, the C8's have trouble getting past the 160's in the 1.5mi. One guy hit 183 with a huge tailwind last year. A 2015 stock HC did 190+, a stock 2022 REWB did 193+. My RES2 did 204+.

What fast is depends on how you define fast.

And if you want to compare the ZR1X, consider all these cars are less than 1/2 the cost, and probably closer to 1/4 the cost in the case of the 2015 HC.

And since we are considering EV's, don't forget the Plaid is almost as fast as the ZR1X at half the price, and it has room for luggage, the dog and kids!

The Vette has it's niche, no questioning that, but it is a very small niche with very little utility. I moved away from Vettes when I got the dog.

C8 is not about simple straight line speed.

My wife's is not a Z06...but is a well thought out car none the less
