blogentry-133713-0-30326000-1412217270_thumb.jpgHow a century sprint timing of 3 seconds and a quarter-mile run of 10.95 seconds sound to you? Yup, that's how fast GM's new Z06 Corvette is when paired with its eight-speed automatic. The seven-speed manual will do the above two runs in a slightly slower 3.3 seconds and 11.2 seconds respectively. Still not too shabby I guess!

 

blogentry-133713-0-23231500-1412217328_thumb.jpgIt shouldn't be when you have a supercharged 6.2-litre V8 pushing 650bhp and 880Nm of torque. GM says the Z06 is also very good at stopping with them claiming it having 'the best braking performance of any production car it has ever tested'. It comes to a stop from 96km/h in 30.36 meters if you are wondering.

 

blogentry-133713-0-60071900-1412217306_thumb.jpgSo it goes and stop very well. How about turning then? The Z06 is claimed to be able to achieve 1.2g in the corners and again, GM says it is 'its fastest production car ever tested at its own Milford Road Course, beating the record set by the Corvette ZR1 by one whole second'.

If I lived in the US, I would definitely buy a coupe and a topless Corvette.

Just checked the US price. About 80K USD. Wah Lao. This only costs the same as a stupid Altis now. I'm gonna move to US if sg eventually gets f**ked up.

This one got RHD or not? If got I sure buy. Haha!

 

GM's CEO did promise building RHD C7 Corvettes but till now there is still no sign of it. So I guess you shouldn't put your hopes too high for the Z06 too.

Well if they decide to implement the distance based ERP, then that's when i'll probably move. For now, the situation is still tolerable. We all have different definitions of what is tolerable.

Only Singaporeans will say it is cheap. This is because of our perception of what is affordable.

 

Most Americans won't be able to afford it there. Even if they do, they'll be in massive debt. Over there, car dealers offer all kinds of weird financing schemes just so that people can get a new car. In fact such ads are all over the radio.

If I lived in the US, I'll buy.... the Charger SRT Hellcat. 707hp supercharged HEMI, room for 5 adults and a useable boot.
If I want a coupe, it's gonna be this Z06 or HPE700 Mustang.

For those griping about the cost there vs here. Note that if you lived in the US. You would probably pay 10-30k more per year in taxes (if you are in the income bracket for such cars). That 10-30k over 10 years (using COE lifespan), well that makes up for your more expensive SG car.

  • Far Cry: A journey over two decades (PART ONE)

    I first came across the first-ever Far Cry game in the now-popular series back in 2004, the year of its launch. I was eight and wandering around the “Toys & Games” section in a department store (I believe it was Takashimaya) and the cover caught my eye. I’ve always been drawn towards First-person Shooter (FPS) games, and I thought I’d give it a try. Thus, I got my parents to buy it for me, and the second we got home, I loaded it up. Back in the day, CDs were still very much the norm, an

    eDrivo Car Insurance: Tailored insurance for electric cars

    Income Insurance's eDrivo Car Insurance provides coverage that's tailored to the unique characteristics of electric cars. As Singapore shifts towards sustainable forms of transportation, electric vehicles (EVs) are continually growing in popularity with more and more drivers switching from internal combustion engine (ICE) cars to fully electric. EVs contribute positively not only to individual users but also to the environment, and society. Apart from a smoother and quieter ride, they

    We are creatures of the air-con

    I've often wondered: How much work would get done today if offices were not air-conditioned? What if the only air-con we could enjoy was only in shopping malls and supermarkets? Images of stuffy offices fill my mind. Despite the availability of fans to circulate air, the oppressive heat and humidity will lower our productivity. Many of my colleagues and I experienced this in our previous office, where the ancient air-conditioning system would have a monthly breakdown. For two days, the

    Singapore’s ultimate NDP song?

    As my JC classmates suddenly made plans this year to have an NDP watch-party (this is likely our first in the 12 years we’ve known each other), I found myself falling into a state of nostalgia again: This time, thinking about how NDP songs have evolved over the years. It’s not a stretch to say that each NDP song - from the inception of the idea of an NDP song back in 1984 - has woven itself somewhat into the fabric of our collective memories. Whether you were singing along loudly in primary
