I never said anything about cats. *shrug* Anyway, how did a thread about C8 turn into one about K9? LOL.

Better animals than American politics these O/T rambles seem to always morph into.
Agreed on dogs, they need a bath if they stink. It's night and day before/after... Cat litter stinks but the cats themselves seem to get a pass unless you're allergic. As for the C8, I still don't get the appeal. |

C8 and G8x share the commonality of being significantly more capable but far less aesthetically pleasing than the previous of generation, not to mention the third pedal delete debacle.

60-130, 1/4 mile time and trap speed matter much more: we will see what Z06 can do. I expect a 1/4 mile time around 10.6 sec at 138 mph. |

Just remember, that guy isn't impressed unless it is straight-line Tesla-fast. He's got plenty of posts trying to knock this car because he doesn't understand a NA mid-engined car that is intended to perform on a track with turns. All he understand is straight-line.

What are you talking about? For the first time with the C8 it's created a cross generational conversation with "younger" generations. According to Chevy the new generation has also created a bigger draw to higher income earners. Yet despite all this increase the corvette still draws a more "seasoned" buyer that's looking for the exotic appearance and not the exotic price. I give Chevy credit for this. Yet tell since you're an expert, would you rather have a ZL1-1LE or a C8..... I mean after all the ZL1-1LE is much more well rounded and "purpose built" and stomps the C8s dick in the sand while roll racing and off the dig.
People buy the C8 for looks, not for what it can or can't do..... not sure why people get so butt hurt at this factual observation. I just laugh at all the comments pumping up it's performance when all the data out is identical to how dodge claimed cars like my Demon can run a 9.56 from the factory. Yet th planet's were perfectly aligned that day and while yes it can run a 9 sec 1/4 it's work to learn the car to get it to that point. |
