They have achieved a 50/50 balance on a big set of tires with a great suspension. What is there not to like. Ah yes, those run flats!!
There is little not to like as far as I am concerned. After comparing a 458 parked next to a C6 this morning, I even think the back end will look better live than in the pictures.

Still I cannot imagine that I would be tempted away from my 991S if I had to choose between the two (independent of cost)- it is that good for my purpose.

I still don't understand why anyone who is able to afford good champagne would settle for spumante ...

As I said before, I loved my ZO6, but it couldn't compare with my new 911S. And the ZO6 will still outperform the base C7 with no problem.

Here's a dude who chased these 3 C7's around the streets with 3 GM engineers driving around:



Personally, I think it looks ok and nothing special. Nothing like the 991 althought significantly cheaper

The more I see and hear about the vette, the more I think that this car may put batch snobbery to the test.
