    GM Press Release: Corvette Stingray: 3.8 seconds from 0 to 60 mph

    This is just marketing the LT1 is 6% more power than the LS3 90% peak torque is 3400 to 6000 for about the same span as the LT1 just higher and 90% peak for the LS7 is from 3200 to about 6200. You noticed they did not talk about HP/pound the LT1 loses that one. All this really means is that they...

    The Reviews are in: the 2014 C7 Corvette Stingray is a hit!

    No they are not night and day you can keep telling your self that they are but it does not make it so, power very close, fuel mileage very close, most of the improved mileage it from the extra overdrive gear. You can say because you can change cam timing and direct injection and can shut off...

    GM Press Release: Corvette Stingray: 3.8 seconds from 0 to 60 mph

    I just have a hard time seeing this car getting below 4.0sec. 0-60 when you have to shift, the Z06 and ZR1 do not have to shift.

    8 speed automatic

    I have talked with a GM engineer and he said the one of the main reason there is no 8spd is they are unable at this time to get either better performance or fuel mileage out of it, He said it took for ever to get the 6pd to match the 4 speed auto he said it is all about marketing not performance.

    Yes but again I say if you used the same tires from the C7 on the grand sport would it handle as well ? Maybe, but remember there are far less differences between these cares two cars then is being put forth . They are the same basic suspension, same basic powertrain set up, eingine...

    Before people state getting to crazy let's put this in perspective compare this car with the last base car the LS3 Z51 as tested by the same magazine . Car and Driver they tested a 2008 Z51 LS3 car with about the same stuff as they did the new Stingray and here are the times. LS3 0-60 4.0...

    Swap 84 OD with 88 OD

    No, you will have a stronger O/D unit 86-88 have an extra direct and O/D clutch. You will not have a T/V cable so shifts into O/D will be firmer but that is the only real difference you will feel. The T/V cable will be removed(don't throw it away as far as I know they are no longer made) and it...

The third line comes off the cansiter and almost straight up and over to the inner...
