Um, where did I say it was junk. You quoted me to answer something someone else said?
Good job.
Didn't quote you, wasn't quoting. I making the statement that just because the S8 has a better 0-60 time it doesn't make the C7 junk nor should GM be embarrassed about it. Capice?
Again, nope. Didn't write that at all. Maybe you should go back to the start of this thread and read my other comments about the C7 but, you might then find out that I don't think it's junk at all so do so at your own risk of foot in mouth.
None of what I posted was directed specifically nor only nor personally at you. I'm posting about general statements in this thread that my also have been inferred by you that for some reason the C7 is slow or GM should be embarrassed about because is supposedly can't beat an S8 in 0-60 times.
I'm saying the S8 does...... facepalm.jpg
And after 20 laps I'm also saying Carbo Ceramic brakes will show better performance than steel. Obviously. We'll obvious to some.
Good job.
Thanks for clarifying, your post wasn't entirely clear that it was the S8 that you were indicating had the carbon brakes. But now to compare a carbon brake car with steel brakes wouldn't be an entirely fair comparison now would it?
Also, really good job of eliminating the S8 because it's not as good on a track then saying the Atom isn't either because it's better on a track. Stellar performance buds.....
I'm not eliminating the S8. I believe (but I'm sure you'll jump on me if I'm wrong) that I've only posted about S8 vs corvette(s). My comment on the Arial was based on someone posting can go 0-60 in 2.5-2.9 (because I had commented on production cars getting close to the limits of physics and said poster (not you) brought in other non-comparable cars into the discussion). I don't believe that because an arial can go 0-60 in 2.9 makes the S8 slow, or something audi should be embarrassed about or whatever. I also don't think that in an S8 to corvette discussion (that's what we're doing right?) that anything an Ariel can do is relevant.
Since you are now pulling comparisons of older Vettes into a comparison of two cars it's obvious you are getting a little desperate here. Also your 70-0 stopping specs aren't from the new S8, they're from the old one.
LOL
Any reference to "older" vettes was to compare actual production car real driver stats to magazine S8 stats. For those that claim (not you), that the S8 beats a C7 (which may in fact be true when comparing magazine specs), also need to simply be aware that there are "older" vettes that are bone stock not only matching but smoking a S8.
So yea....... When it gets this sad I tend to just default to "congratulations, you're the bestest at cars" and let you go on making stuff up that suits your argument.
Thanks for your vote of confidence.
And just so we're clear on my position regardless of what you may or may not have said. I personally don't think that just because a S8 with more power, AWD, carbon brakes, and the like, that may or may not have specific performance specs that are better than a C7, that by default the C7 is something that is slow, heavy, something that GM should be embarrassed about or whatever. I also think the S8 is a really quick car, and that it's neat that it can go that fast.
But when shopping, I'd go M5, even though it may not be the Audi/BMW's marketing department directly comparison, and even though the M5 is a bit slower 0-60 (and some real drivers on real tracks have trapped lower ET's).
Awesome! Thanks!
