C7 Corvette Stingray Fights World War III at Willow Springs
Since late August we’ve been posting Edmunds videos of the C7 Corvette battling its enemies, foreign and domestic, on the Streets of Willow Springs. For a look in the rearview mirror at how the Corvette Stingray faired individually against its rivals, click the links below.
Corvette versus SRT Viper
Corvette versus Nissan GT-R
Corvette versus Porsche 911 Carrera S
Corvette versus Porsche Cayman S
Corvette versus BMW M3
In the video below, Edmunds timed each car around the Streets of Willow Springs, and the results are surprising … perhaps upsetting to Porsche fans.
- SRT Viper …………………. 1:23.9
- Corvette Stingray ……….. 1:24.6
- Nissan GT-R ……………….. 1:25.2
- Porsche 911 Carrera S …… 1:25.6
- Porsche Cayman S ………… 1:27.0
- Shelby GT500 ………………. 1:27.3
- BMW M3 ………………………. 1:29.0
Preposterous, you say? We know the GT-R and M3 were slowed by the heat of the August day this battle was filmed, and perhaps it was the same case for the Porsches.
So Porsche fans, how violently angry are you that the Corvette Stingray got a faster lap time?
