The rotors and pads are plenty strong to lock the wheels, so in the end it comes down to tire grip and ABS tuning. The difference between the stopping distances of the Base C6, GS, and ZR1 are primarily tire related. Put them all on the base car's all seasons and they'd all stop similarly (once or twice). The difference in the rotors is what allows the ZR1 to maintain those stops for a 30 minute lapping session, while the base car will start to fade after a few laps probably.
If the C7 Z51 can be fade free for a lapping session, then 107 is no problem. If the brakes fade after only a lap, then even if the single stop distance was 94, the brakes would still suck (for my use case, anyway). I'm guessing the brakes will hold up well given the cooling effort that went into them. -T Curious...what track is that in your avatar? I notice no car numbers and windows up...is that from an event?

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...t/viewall.html Here is a quote from Edmunds: "In Edmunds brake testing, a base Corvette came to a stop from 60 mph in 118 feet, which is a bit longer than average for a sports car. We found that the Grand Sport and ZR1 came to a stop from 60 mph in between 100 and 104 feet, which is excellent performance." |
Well said !
The difference is about conditions Tires, suspension set-up, fuel load,
Temp, Elevation, humidity, weight, brake bias. Etc. Etc. Here at Le Mans the amount of information thats is being transmitted is mind- numbing. It amazes me that so much of the fan base are routing against success for the C-7

Time for a reality check everyone.
There is no such thing as repeatable, hard and fast performance numbers. You have varying track surfaces, temperatures, production variability, driver variability, fuels, etc., etc. Splitting hairs like this is senseless. Michael

I would have no reason to believe that based on what we see with the brake hardware on the C7 (Z51) there is any compromise in braking performance based rotor size and thickness, swept area (6% increase) and rotor and caliper design (I-beam design with better air flow through rotor, better thermal heat transfer, 18% lighter). IMO the limiting factor for an off-the-showroom floor car is going to be a.) brake fluid and, b.) pad material. And obviously, the track in question where the car is being ran. :thumbs:

It is from several years ago, and was taken during a rainy day. Usually the windows must be down, but due to the rain and lower speeds they allowed the windows to remain up. That particular group may not have required numbers. Typically I just put painters tape on the side for numbers, or use some other temporary marking. -T |

Must be how you and others know so much about the C7 without ever getting in one? |
C7 numbers are impressive. Very close to C6Z numbers that its a driver's race. Can't wait to see the comparison tests with the 991 S. Preliminary numbers appear to be on top of each other at 50% the price.

I fully expect continuous coverage of the c7 versus many many sports cars. 2014 we should get a full 25 % monthly coverage so a good 3 or 4 months over the next 12 will be corvette comparison.... I know the track performance will be superior and of course the old story line bang for the buck....but what so many of us are interested in is hearing the dam reporters finally admit the corvette has the feel and finesse of cars nearing the exotic car class...and that its interior is finally meeting the competition if not exceeding it... Not that I actually give a crap about the interior etc but it will be fun to after decades of reading that storyline....the accolades on gm finally addressing good seats etc will be refreshing. The performance as posted officially will surpass the competition |
RLJ676, when I saw your comment I looked at your avatar and realized I had never seen it or your user name before, so a simple click on you user and wallah, you have 280 posts in three plus years, that is why I made that comment sir.
As for the C7, you couldn't be more correct. I am one of the realists that until the car gets it's feet wet it hasn't proven anything. The numbers everyone keeps discussing also will ot be complete until the mags do their testing. |
This car rags will do it like the C5 & C6 were done. They will love it for 2 years then nit pick the interior or steering. Meanwhile the car will out perform other cars in the segment, but they will be lauded for the steering feel & seats. I say screw the car rags, buy what you like & like what you buy!

Thanks for your response RLJ. I apologize if I was a little curt with my earlier response. As much as you stated the "trolls" sometimes get out of hand believe me it's the supporters as well. I actually find it funny that some have a C7 as their avatar and are not even getting a car, or for that matter are getting it but of course not having it yet.
Must be fun to have "inside info', hope you get to drive a pre delivery unit and have some fun with it. And if I may comment on the enthusiast part, most of us own Corvettes and also have owned many other products. To me being able to comment and converse about a car doesn't necessarily mean it will be all good, a lot of us feel GM missed in quite a few areas and b/c we state it in various threads it is deemed inappropriate which is BS. By the way, nice boat. |
In Europe we try not to be Ugly Americans
On this board It would be ugly Corveticans? Doesn't really show a lot of class for those who show up from other places !! Says a lot of the class of Corvette owners here too bad for the most part a great bunch of people
There are several Corvettes here at Le Mans and people are not jumping up and down Hoping the Corvettes (or anyone else) is going to fail an Aston had a bad wreck and all are concerned for the Driver For Those who asked I have not seen a C-7

Normal discourse and comparisons are one thing, but it is obvious some people are over the top and honestly annoying in just this thread, couldn't imagine dealing with them for months now haha. I like all the vette variants (well almost), but also like Porsche and any exotic, etc... who wouldn't. The saying "there's an ass for every seat" comes to mind, and if the C7 isn't for someone's ass no reason to stay here acting an ass in my opinion. :crazy2: For the guys who are genuinely interested and have a few issues, the aftermarket will probably have a fix for your concerns. To keep harping on the issues will cause guys who are truly enthused about the new car to definitely get riled up. If I went to bimmerforum and badmouthed everything about the new M5 I wouldn't expect a warm welcome, regardless of the fact that I once owned a 330i and liked it! |

It is at a performance level of cars that are literally double the price, has modern and aggressive styling, finally a high end interior and yet people still complain. I guess it is human nature but I have no f'ing idea what more people could have expected for $65K very, very well equipped. My E92 M3 was way more money... my C63 was way more money... and NEITHER have anywhere close to the performance of the C7. People pay for badges and don't complain yet they get WAY more value in the C7 and don't pay for the badge yet complain :ack: The more time I spend here, the more I actually believe some folks (although not all for sure) actually do an have agenda. What their agenda is, can't say (maybe envy, maybe regret, maybe justifying buying a Porsche Boxster :D, maybe they are just are negative and miserable people by nature) who knows? It is sad that they have nothing better to do with their time. |

The behavior displayed by some is downright disturbing. When you consider the age of the individuals continuously acting this way, its even more disturbing. You would think this was 1st grade, where a child has a new toy.. and other children become jealous and hateful. |

In retrospect!
I recall the ZR1 Chicago fireman removing his CC's on the track for economy and claiming that they seemed fine.:thumbs:
I think I recall the Z06 with the CC's and cups first being below the ZR1 at 94ft to the ZR1's 98ft. I think I equated that to the ZR1's extra weight. The C7's weight and tire size are probably really significant factors? And probably most importantly if this price holds up the Z51 will be able to mess up the 911S for cheap!:thumbs: It was just hard to understand, and not what was expected!:willy: :rock: |
gthal, Daekwan06, B747Vet... You all are critical of non-objective posts, yet your posts are about other forum members...? Nobody here should build themselves up by commenting about other members. Better to just keep the posts about cars :thumbs:
It's great that you like the C7, but you have to respect the opinions of those who don't. It's a different direction from GM, and nobody's 'wrong' just because they don't agree with that new direction. :cheers: As for the cars - just the facts: 2013 C6 GS/Z51 ... 12.3, 117mph, 1.0g 2014 C7 Stingray/Z51 ... 12.0, 119mph, 1.03g 2013 C6 427 ... 11.8, 123mph, 1.04g 2013 C6 Z06 ... 11.7, 125 mph, 1.13g |

Excuse my :bs about the ZR1 recording a longer 60-0 then the Z06, and me attributing that to weight. It was the MT figure eight where the better balance gave the Z06 the record on the cups over the ZR1. :willy:

Must be how you and others know so much about the C7 without ever getting in one? I guess it is because we read everything we can about the new Stingray. That includes information from professionals who have driven the car, tested the car, designed the car. This form of education has served man kind well since the beginning of time. Learn from others you trust and pass that information along. I am sure you have knowledge of things that you have never personally experienced. Does that make it easier to understand? |
Awesome. Out of the box the C7 with the 2 performance options (MRC and Z51) will list for less than $60k and put ass whopping on cars costing $30 to $50K more.
That's bound to get a few folks panties in a wad. |

I guess it should be a compliment that we're whipping out Carbon Z06s, ZR1s, and a myriad of other six figure exotic's stopping distances with their 15 grand ceramic brake options to whack the new Stingray on the nose now. We've had an interesting journey with this C7....the Z version leaks are going to cause a forum meltdown at this rate.:rofl:

I know you're probably still upset that yesterday I asked you not to not sh*t in yet another thread that had absolutely nothing to do with Porsches, but you'll just have to get over that.

Here you go, chief.
A post that was directed from RedLS6 to Guibo and that you clearly answered as Notch (while Guibo was having the discussion with RedLS6). There's are a few more that I bookmarked, but this should prove my point. http://imageshack.us/a/img843/3549/s2gk.jpg :lol: S. |

A post that was directed from RedLS6 to Guibo and that you clearly answered as Notch (while Guibo was having the discussion with RedLS6). There's are a few more that I bookmarked, but this should prove my point. http://imageshack.us/a/img843/3549/s2gk.jpg :lol: S. |

The same process used by the engineers can be used by anyone who puts the effort into reading the words of experts in the automotive field...race drivers, factory drivers, etc., and that is what Guibo excels at...reading comprehension and logic. The input the experts have regarding sports cars carries the same weight as the input a test pilot has regarding the aircraft he flies.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Notice my name "Notch" in his quote???? That means he was replying to me and not to Guibo. Notice his mistaken use of "Guibo" in his reply to my ("Notch") quote??? I knew he was replying to me because he quoted me (see the name "Notch" in his quote???). So in the course of our conversation I quoted him again; his incorrect reference to me was included in the statement I was replying to. That's what you posted here in a bogus attempt to label Guibo and me as the same person. Stop harassing my posts. As for the other replies to your post; you guys may want to do your own homework before jumping on a bogus bandwagon. |
So three days later, when he quoted a post and directed it to Guibo, you just happened to respond. Who are you kidding? Especially when there were only a couple of posts from you in that interval and they were defending the fact that your alter ego won't reveal his credentials or what he drives.

You got major league busted attempting to use a post to make a point that wasn't there. Stop making stuff up. And I'd appreciate it if you didn't stomp on and label as "phony" my time spent serving in the Air Force. And I was a fighter pilot, not a "jet fighter engineer". |

I would suggest you read your own post above before you accuse me of denigrating your "time spent serving in the Air Force". Do that, then get back to me (assuming you want to continue "wasting bandwidth" defending both of your screen names).
"you're a phony and you're not fooling anybody on this forum (but I did love when you compared yourself to a jet fighter engineer)"... You called me a "phony" and in the same sentence said that you liked it when I "compared" myself to a "jet fighter engineer". Phony people represent themselves as something they are not. Your sentence accuses me of representing myself of something I am not. The conceptual link between your use of the word "phony" and "jet fighter engineer" is obvious. |

Here's the deal; take this to PM and stop using public space diverting a thread. I'd be more than glad to discuss this with you off-line. If you continue with this on this thread I can only assume your motive is purely personal with me. This thread isn't the place to mount a personal attack against me. I'm finished discussing this with you in this thread. |

Snorman is one of a handful of people here who love to stir the pot anytime I post on the forum. I end up replying to them more than I should, but one's initial reaction is to set the record straight after someone spams your posts. I could completely ignore their posts, but that just leaves them spewing falsehoods with no corrections. The best thing that could happen is if they would just stop with the harassment... |
The best thing that could happen is that you stop derailing threads posting as Guibo and Notch. Your initial post in this thread was proof that you were trying to steer the thread in another direction, as usual. Then you'll come in as Guibo and put up post after post of cut and pastes telling everybody they're ignorant for subscribing to objective criteria for a sports car. Then you cry when you get called out on it.
All of your supposed friends with GT3 RS's, Ferraris and Lambos and you apparently choose Corvette forum to educate the uninitiated. Who, exactly, do you think you're kidding? :lolg: S. |
If thy would of went with E 85 it would been as fast as the C6 Z06 . There will be people doing that

THE Quote that says it all
Back to this Corvette forum after reading "Corvette" threads over at Rennlist the Porsche board
Love them, the numbers from of the Porsche guys are real positive about the New Corvettes, and not questioning The numbers. They like that for 1/2 price they get almost the same numbers with Warranty Notch/Guibo know a lot about Porsches on paper but have never put any stories of their experience driving the cars, I offered them rides in Germany but I got no thanks ( still wondering why) I don't see them at Rennlist, Snorman Their experience has never been documented The debate between Porsche and Corvette will likely never go away As far as Fighter /Freighter /Airline Pilots. I know several who are sports car owners, however that does not make them fast on track. A pilot is a necessity like a bus driver and I expect them to keep me safe ( stateside flight Tues) I admire those who serve because I work with/for them. I don't think anyone is taking that away from you Notch/Guibo Put away the BS and look where the industry has come A great quote from a guy on Rennlist on the history of cars in our lifetime "It is a great spot to be in--arguing over two great cars, both with history, both of which have continued to get better, and both of which are coveted by so many. And to think I thought in the eighties that cars were finished and we would never see the kind of performance we used to have ...." Porsche planned stopping the 911 production in 81 and it was an American who said "HELL NO" and thank god they listened. It was a few people at GM who saved the Corvette Maybe we should be thankful Its cold as hell here at Le Mans but If you ever get the chance go It is 24 hours of the best sights an sounds of a european flair you will see, I believe this is year 80 or 90 so I am making Hotel for the 100th when I get it figured out. KTF |
Not really interested in the continual Porsche discussion as "feeling" wonderful etc.....
We got the Porsche love fest the first 10 times in every thread.... The performance of the Porsche is inferior but the "feel" is great blah...blah ..blah... Thanks for the insight the first 10 times in every thread..... This is the thread about the corvette 2.51 VIR time....the 1.03 lateral G cornering, zero to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds The 911 just doesn't measure up even at near twice the price. Don't be sour brat ten ....smile and be happy. We all know the "feel" is wonderful |
I am glad you like the feel
I think most of us can't wait to feel the C-7 from behind the wheel
RIght now the only real comparison is the Porsche which is How much More? Lets see what they do with a Mustang in 2 years and IRS |

If it looks like the Aston Martin Evos showcar, has 475 hp and an IRS....it ll be another cool American icon... It would be cool if it had a DCT to satisfy the DCT fans |
Great numbers and can't wait to see CFs corroborating with personal experiences.
Conversely, bless you all for pointing out the guibo fraud... |

Cant believe people doubted it. Like I've been saying from the start.. C7 will deliver C6Z06-like performance (12 sec 1/4, 1.03G skidpad, 3.8-60 and VIR in 2.51.7) I never expected the C7 to outperform the C6Z. But it definitely makes it a drivers race between the two vehicles. This is by no means a rip on the C7. It's a helluva package for a base Vette! |

Thank you Snorman.:thumbs:

The C7 posted fantastic numbers with the manual. No doubt they would be significantly better with great automatic. The Vette is still being robbed of a lot of performance, and I don't mean that in a bad way. It's actually quite impressive to post those numbers with a manual.
When you have vehicles like the 458 and McLaren posting 3 seconds flat to 60 and 10.9 - 11 1/4s all day versus the ZR1's 3.4 and 11.2 - 11.4 consistently, there's a clear loss with the manual. We know the ZR1 can run sub 11, but it's rare and only by the best. Anyone can run 10.9 in the McLaren. The ZR1 has some traction issues but all of these cars are RWD and the traction issue would be mitigated with programming through an auto. Please don't get me wrong...I'm not trying fire anyone up over the everlasting manual vs automatic debate. I'm really trying to point out how amazing the Vette is without a world class automatic yet. The manual is impressive. Now GM needs to offer an impressive auto as well. |

It has as much to do with weight distribution as it does with the transmission. The McLaren and Ferrari are heavily rear biased, which allows a much better launch. A DCT in the Vette would help for sure, but it wouldn't completely close the gap IMO.
-T The McLaren and 458 are about 42/58 which I'm sure is better for launching, but there's no reason why a car with as much power as the ZR1 shouldn't be able to consistently run 10s with an auto, even if it isn't a DCT. |

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with an available performance package has been rated as the best performing standard Corvette to date. Base model with performance exhaust! The 2014 Vette with the performance-exhaust system can make the 0-60 sprint in 3.8 seconds. Braking from 60-0 mph takes just 107 feet, and the Stingray can sustain 1.03g in cornering. The Corvette equipped with the performance package is priced at $56,590. The Stingray goes on sale this September with a base $51,995 price (including destination charges). Included! The $2,800 optional Z51 performance package adds an electronic limited-slip differential; dry-sump oiling system; integral brake, differential and transmission cooling; and aero package. Extra! Magnetic Ride Control with Performance Traction Management is a $1,795 option. This is with everything! A Corvette with the performance and magnetic ride-control package lapped the 4.2-mile Virginia International Raceway Grand Concourse in 2 minutes, 51.78 seconds. To achieve those figures, the Stingray was stripped to include just a racing seat and harness, and fire extinguisher system. 56590 is everything, but, it was 73k before? :rofl: |

You were the one who veered off the topics* in this thread and made rude and inappropriate comments. *The topic of Porsche was included in the original post. I brought this to your attention here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/1584206319-post169.html Just because I'm responding and quoting your post to Notch doesn't make me Notch.
