C7 and Veyron
 
Funny!!! C7 sitting next to a Veyron in a little corral at Barrett-Jackson right now! They just showed it !!!

Flex182 01-19-2013 07:54 PM

It would be funny if the C7 auctioned off for more than the Veyron, Have to admit that orange Veyron its sitting next to looks great. someone there please get a shot of the cars together and post it.

We need someone who has been DVRing it to do a screen grab (or not). It was the shot when going into or coming out of a commercial.

Shoot me an email and I can send some pics or text them so someone can post.
The C7 is very nice!

And if I recall correctly, you were not liking it before seeing it in person?

Yeah, I think the Veyron is over 2 million $$$ now, at least some model(s).

Mr C7 01-20-2013 12:32 AM

C7 will take it! :rofl:

Mr C7 01-20-2013 12:34 AM

Veyron stole the C6's tail lights :hide:

richgoat 01-20-2013 12:36 AM

Pictures really don't do the c7 any justice, nor video. The car, I thought, was absolutely stunning in person and looks very exotic. I loved everything about it. While I couldn't feel the interior, it looks vastly improved. Steering wheel is also a nice size, though I think it looks big in pictures, it really isn't.

Great job by the design team. Based on the reactions of the people around it, most people seemed to love it, I heard one or two moans about the rear. Even the old fogies seemed to like it!

MikeG37 01-20-2013 12:37 AM

Hey look, A Corvette... and some other car with 4 round tail lights :rofl:

No, that little bass terd will go over 250 mph. I'm still not a big fan of its looks. Looks wise, for an "exotic" I like the Aventador.

Im with you there. Talk about a styling cluster F. The Aventador would be my first post lotto decision.

SBC_and_a_stick 01-20-2013 12:49 AM

Damn, the 'Vette looks larger.

Well, come on, the Veyron looks the size of a VW Bug!

Much nicer in person, very exotic.

Not sure the Veyron cares what you think about how he looks, he is baddest car on the planet until someone dethrones him.....and that has not happened and it has been years. :yesnod:

More and more people will be swayed once they see the C7 in person. :yesnod:

USAFPILOT 01-20-2013 02:34 AM

The Veyron sucks, and is ugly...for that money I could buy an airplane that will out run it, and carry 4 people to another city on one tank of gas. That C7 makes it look stupid. 1.2M for junk.

I don't think its junk but it is the ugliest supercar I've ever seen.

For over 2 million a car SHOULD CARE what I think. Is it really that hard for you to be civil?

Rick Hendrick paid about $60,000 for the Vette and donated about a mil to charity.

who cares, it looks great.

BluegrassMotorsport 01-20-2013 10:13 AM

That's the Vitesse press car. It looks outstanding. I'd take it.

Mew2 01-20-2013 10:23 AM

Wow have to admit that "base" C7 looks like it could be on the market with the Veyron


Better start saving XD

Very true. As obscene as some of the money was that was thrown around, guys like Hendrick and Pratt are very generous with their money, without question :thumbs:

There is a little car company in Sweden called Koenigsegg. They make a car called the Agera R. This company has had the fastest production car title a couple times. Their car shoots for 270+mph. Oh, and about this thread. Great pictures of the C7. It looks very exotic indeed even next to a hyper car.

Slynky 01-20-2013 11:42 AM

Hehe, nice photo !

Shoots for.


Hasn't done it, yet. Unless I've missed recent news. A dozen cars have laid claim to theoretical speeds surpassing the Veyron's that are somehow mathematically proven, yet fail to materialize in practice.

No doubt is one impressive, audacious machine. I'm just not fond of it's styling. If I want a hyper car, there are several others I would get before getting a Veyron. They all perform incredibly well, even if the Veyron remains outright speed champ.

mnmthoele 01-20-2013 04:33 PM

The Veyron is like the A10 wart hog jets, ugly as they come, but they sure get their job done.

I'm right there with you although a 458 Italia or 430 would be in there for a test drive. :thumbs:

bladex10 01-20-2013 04:58 PM

I know the Veyron has 1000 hp and cost $2 million dollars, but the car looks like a pile of ****. The Corvette looks absolutely badass sitting there.

The new vette wins hands down IMO! :yesnod:


:flag:

BMadden 01-20-2013 07:13 PM

Veyron's numbers are obviously beyond impressive, but I've always hated the looks of it. Pales in comparison to an Aventador or Zonda.

Kratos-TM 01-20-2013 11:55 PM

For a 60K Vette to look good that good next to a 2 million dollar car, that's saying A LOT...
