Although Chevrolet claims a straight-up 50/50 weight distribution, our scales demonstrated a rearward weight bias, with 49.4 percent sitting over the front axle and 50.6 to the rear.

Are they sure about that one?
I could've sworn that the C3 era small blocks had a slight rear weight bias as well?

They could come up with such a list for half the cars they test.

This is like drawing moths to a flame.
Would be nice if a thread could go a few pages without the usual suspects coming and ******** in it.

I'm just noting the ridiculousness of the C7 forums. I don't think there's is any forum where the "fans" constantly complain about the same stuff over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. As you can probably tell, there's another thread about DCT. And another thread about the weight. I'm sure there will be another thread or poll out soon concerning the C7's "lack" of horsepower.

You must be a forum expert! Wow 116 posts in 7 months, since everyone here likes to talk #'s so much that is an average of around 4 posts a week. I'm going to listen to your expertise from now on, please keep posting.:D

Come on Jimmy are you kidding me? Do you really think the C7 can be categorized as a supercar? I'll answer your question, a low production super high performance exclusive auto. The C7 absolutely does not fit supercar criteria, about the only Vette that I would say does is a ZR1. Even the C7 lovers would agree with this.



It's funny how you and Jimmy did not mention my "very nice post OP" comment. Oh well, no problem.:cheers:

Thank you for complimenting the OP with the "very nice post"

And here is the email address for Car and Driver so you can write a letter questioning THEIR use of the word "supercar" in their article:

editors@caranddriver.com

Your definition of a "supercar" is your opinion. C&D obviously disagrees with you and they have their definition (opinion). In my OPINION, any car that will do 0 - 60 in under 4 seconds with a 190MPH top speed qualifies as a "supercar". As always, YMMV.

Jimmy

PS. As far as the complaining on the C7 forum, well, some of the guys on here could go on a date with Cindy Crawford and then complain about what she wore.

Nope sorry Jim, Then you'd have to consider the ZL1 and "Stang SS as supercars. Hey everyone is entitled to their opinion but even C&D can be wrong!

Oh and what is YMMV?

I wouldn't call it whining, I'd say more like telling it as I see it. Unfortunately some just have a difficult time hearing the second coming needs to go back to the drawing board!:rofl:

I wish people would stop responding to the obviously idiotic trolls who post in the C7 forum. You people who keep responding are just as responsible for these threads going off-topic as the idiot troll.

WE ALL KNOW that the idiots who keep complaining about everything are trolls. WE DON'T NEED you to keep arguing with the idiots. Just IGNORE their idiotic posts, and then their idiotic posts will get lost in the thread among all the ON-TOPIC posts.

Your mileage may vary

Certainly, everyone can (and will be) wrong, although opinions, by their very nature, won't be wrong to the person stating them. I would offer that your 2 examples certainly qualify based on your definition of "exclusivity". There sure aren't many Super Snakes or ZL-1's running around, at least where I live. (I see more Ferraris here than those 2 cars. I have seen ONE ZL-1 and have never seen a Super Snake)

Actually I don't see many either, I don't know how the productions #'s but I don't think they are "low", meaning a few hundred. I also must apologize, I did leave one piece of criteria out and that would be expense. I would say in that regard a ZR1 is on the low end of the supercar expense category, then up to the limited Porsches/Lambos/Ferraris etc.:thumbs:
