So i just tried Donk's c7 corvette yesterday and i cant get over how excellent that car is.

The best thing about it is the MagneRide suspension. You can take corners perfectly flat, without any harshness even over bumpy uneven roads. This GM product is like voodoo magic or something. No wonder ferrari licensed it for their cars. Im totally in love with it! so much so that i looked up the list of cars that has Magneride

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagneRide

my god is this ever excellent. You get all the comfort and sportiness with absolutely zero drawbacks. The one time it went kinda crazy was going over railroad tracks where it suddenly became insanely stiff and jarring.

its a huge car, but it shrinks around you. That engine has a lot of character. sitting at idle it just buzzes and burbles like a real american V8 would (so much so that you feel it through the shifter). Redlines not bad too at 6500RPM though it doesnt need to be up there, can easily sit comfortably in 3-4 gear doing 2-3k rpm and still fast as hell.

Steering is good, pretty much standard EPS feel like all modern cars. Not too much texture, but accurate and nicely weighted.

Clutch point is VERY VERY high and the effort is heavy. The gears themselves are nicely notchy, but for some reason the shifter felt vague and inaccurate to me. I couldnt go down from 5-6 without it popping back into neutral first. Maybe you gotta just man handle it more. Same with 1->2, it would sometimes pop out of 2nd. Its not a honda unit thats for sure.

What a beautiful car. I dont know why more people dont buy these things. Its a fantastic sports car that can grand tour as well as my LC.
