I agree/ disagree----- respectfully

I quess that is a valid point, when I see 2015 refresh from a distance it kind of looks like the new one. I was looking at the front of the 2017 and thought it was an aggressive front, kind of very...

And so in summation

When the sixth gen came out most of us did not like the rear taillights. The sides I think were pretty nice, hippier, but flowed well. Front looked mean and after getting used to the overall car...

Looks great, one question

I have the same spoiler and never installed it because I was told that I would have extra holes in trunk lid on my 2013 2SS 1LE. What did you do about the holes, and where are they?

How about a bike

I always loved riding a bike, a pedal bike, so liberating.
While in college for engineering, I neither had the money or the time for a car.

Viper is great no doubt, but?

I am really answering an honest question here. The ACR is great no doubt.

But why does the Corvette win all the big races, Lemans, 24 hour Daytona and many of the smaller races and petit lemans

Points we have heard before

When the new 2014-2015 came out everyone hated the rear end, the comments soon passed into oblivion and many people now like it better.

Thank you

I agree with all you said. The reason I chose 750 hp at the crank is that it would give me about 640 to 650 at the wheels. This number seems to be a number most agree on this forum is about the max...
