$70,000 for a base Corvette?? How is that a bang for buck, that's actually kinda expensive.

Ok here, Canadian price is yet to be released, but it's $51,000 US.
Which is, in today's currency $52,728 Canadian.

C7 looks way better than R35.



And this is coming from a guy that works at Nissan.

We were talking about the performance and quality of the car, not the looks. I don't see how the C7 resembling a Ferrari is at all relevant or even a bad thing.

i might be crazy here but these 2 wheels look quite similar. small circular center piece, 3 pronged at 9,3 and 6 o'clock positions.

but i do like the look of them, the general big ass center piece for most steering wheels is rather ugly imo

Attachment 18716

also, cant wait to see what the P1 can do

at least we know now how much 6:57 is worth ($845k).

i can't find anything on the net that shows pics of this luggage set. maybe it comes with some leggy german supermodel to carry them for you because i can't understand how it could cost that much.

the "Front Axle Lift System" for $10,500... is that something to pick the car up and over curbs and steep ramps?

The 918 Spyder is a relative bargain compared to the LaFerrari.
