2005 Chevrolet Corvette

[DarkLord]

The 2005 Corvette is more competition-influenced than any previous Corvette. The goal was a performance car that would be at home in virtually any environment. That means raw performance, improved ride comfort, a precisely built and technically sophisticated interior and contemporary new body.

The car features dramatic new styling, the new 6.0L V-8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft.of torque (298 kw and 542 Nm), a revised suspension and more powerful brakes. It delivers extreme performance capabilities and offers value, style, quality and comfort.

 

 

To be seen in the upcoming Singapore Motorshow 2004!

This one is Gen-U-ine Chevy. But it won't be sold in Europe under the Chevy brand, but it's own Corvette brand Trust GM...

[Stary]

why? because they dun have to turn?

[Genie47]

It is well known that most true blue American muscle car got lots of power but lousy handling. Big and unwieldy like a battleship. But their car good lah if you are horsepower crazy. Mod a bit like ECU and CAI can get a lot of gains. Their car CR also very low can supercharge or turbocharge. If do this, a Corvette can get 1000 horsepower. There many 1000 horsepower Corvettes around.

That's like saying I'm taller than most babies

[Genie47]

Still cannot lah! For a performance car with that kind of turning performance is enough to get you into trouble. That is why to get a real sports car, you buy a Caterham Super 7 .

Go to http://www.caterham.co.uk

 

These things can beat a Rex and Evo when on tarmac. One user complained he didn't buy helmet with face shield. As a result the wind on his face was very painful .

 

The Ultralight with 2.0L engine is great. But no A/C, no ICE. These things are not necessary .

[Seansene]

They'd prob also add 10% to the weight

Caterham super 7,

even evo and wrx smell smoke

the cornering G is scary

[Lala81]

? so many cars in the world can make the evo n wrx smell smoke acutally

 

they are v fast for their displacement n have great cornering but sheer displacement will blow them out off the track pretty fast. or twin turbos just watch all the cars on Top Gear! Evos n WRXs are rally cars!

 

 

even one of those american hot rod shops can come out with something tat will blow them out on the straights ... probably involving a SC-ed 6L+ engine hahaha

Might as well drive F1 car or aeroplane liaoz!
