I can't believe that no one mentioned the fact that Bose is supplying the sound system. It looks impressive on paper.https://www.thedrive.com/news/29258/bose-to-bump-2020-chevrolet-corvette-owners-with-its-most-powerful-in-car-sound-system
My point is that there are not that many road coarse's out there. And I bet most of the Vettes running them are not brand new. I bet most are C5 or C6's bought used and built up. I am a long time bracket racer myself. And no new car has a chance against a skilled driver in a car built for bracket racing even in a bracket race. And yes, those guys are weekend warriors with little experience. But they are out there at drag strips all over the place. Those Vettes see more time on the drag strip than any other type of track by far. So one has to wonder, if that is where they are being used, then should the manufacturer take notice. Maybe in the grand scheme of things it is a niche market just like high end audio. And I agree, those Hellcats and Demons have no business on a road coarse. If I were a buyer of a new Vette right now I'd be wanting to know how well the computers are encrypted. So does everyone else in the aftermarket industry.
Ahhh, but the more enticing sound system is behind the cockpit and activated with you foot.
Best bang for your buck track car available.
Actually, that's the Camaro SS 1LE.
We can agree to disagree. Have two of my track friends, father and son, who bought SS 1LE. They always get butt hurt when I pass them in my Grand Sport. Makes for great banter and laughs between track sessions hanging out in the paddock.
Danny in the world of HPDE you see as many new C7 as about any other cars on the track. Best bang for your buck track car available. Until the C8 comes to the showrooms.
The Grand Sport is marginally faster (with Cup2 tires) but $25k more $... and unless you're a pro the difference between drivers is FAR more relevant than GS vs SS 1LE. Camaro has a better chassis for sure, having driven both I enjoy the Vette a lot, but the Camaro's chassis is just more predictable and easier to drive at the limit.Considering the SS 1LE can be bought brand new for under $40k, it's a far better value for a track car... Here's one interesting take that I fully agree with... but based on VALUE the Camaro is the obvious winner.https://youtu.be/RWYd3Jw2zn0
Again we will agree to disagree. I am ashamed at how little I paid for my 2017 Grand Sport with only 3200 miles on it. Great values for both cars in the used market. I think you need to get into the ZL1 1LE to gain the superior suspension even though I am riding on buggy springs in the GS. There is a group of five of us in my track group. Two 1LE Camaros, one C7 ZO6, one C6 ZR1 and me in the C7 GS. As long as we are all driving GM it is all in good fun whomever passes who on the track.
Well, the new Vette is almost fast enough. But still not as quick as five year old Tesla S.https://insideevs.com/news/360588/c8-chevy-corvette-reveal-specs-tesla-model-3-s/
