C8 Corvette Reveal

not a Raptor, but TFLtruck did a nice comparo of the 2.7,3.5 and 5.0 before and after tuning. Look it up on youtube. End result- both ecoboost trucks were faster before and after

 

You can jump two ditches and take out an orphanage, a nunnery, the local office of UNICEF, 15 Starsmucks and a Panera.

Raptors are wicked pissah.

 

If only you could reach the pedals.

 

I'm going to punch you in the prostate.

 

With both hands tied behind your back?

 

Tongue punch ...

 

To be fair, it's probably an easy target (enlarged as it is)

 

You just made the list for a pancreas punch.

 

You, I'm going to climb like a monkey climbs a tree and punch you in the brain.

 

I think the entire point of the new Corvette is that thing will not be a Corvette killer.

 

Doesn't matter. It's not as cool as the GT.

 

You're obviously talking about the 2005 GT.

 

Don’t you try to threaten me with a good time ... tease.

 

Have one of those around here too.

 

But that thing is a turd compared to this rig.

 

Performance numbers leaked for Z06:
0-60 2.9
1/4 11.2@121
Curb Weight 3577
Braking 60-0: 108
Lat Accel 1G
N'ring time 7:10

1 of those is made up

 

I'm sure. The older one is cooler, though.

 

Meh, if it was any good it'd hold the record at the Wang of the Dragon.

As for the nurburgring, the Allies should have bombed that place every day from 1945 until 2023. Erase any memory of it from existence.

and f@ck BSB.

 

If only it didn't sound like a broken washing machine having relations with a vacuum cleaner. (And I actually like the Ford GT well enough.)

I would hope after you tune a Raptor that all the noise it makes and gears it shifts would result it in moving forward at an acceptable rate. Driving the neighbors re-affirms two things for me.

1. I'm still not a Ford truck guy
2. Their interiors are still ergonomically weird to me. They just don't feel right for some reason.
