M5 vs 2014 Corvette Stingray
What's faster in a straight line / highway / stoplight scenario...?
Vette has 100 less horses... But it's prob a good 800 lbs less. Thoughts?

No chance a stock c7 goes 130 plus LOL in the quarter--- it would take a dynamically modded c7 to get there.

[QUOTE=soooma]That being said the C7 Z06 will definitely trap much higher in the 1/4 mile than even the mighty 991 Turbo S and beat just about anything around the track . Hell a lightly modded C7 Z51 ( aero / Hoosiers / tune ) set the NASA time trial record for its class at my local track Roebling Road at 1:12.x sec . To put it in perspective it was 3 seconds faster than the fastest heavily modded 997 GT3's on Hoosiers . The C7 Z51 is an amazing track package right out of the box that on track outclasses cars twice it's price . In a straight line the C7 Z51 is not slow but it really shines on track. 11.8-12 sec @ 118-119 mph seems to be the median 1/4 for it on a neutral day with a good driver . So the fact that it's setting track records with no power advantage speaks volumes about how good the chassis is .

Its because when the quote they override one of the wrapping codes leaving the quote process incomplete. I think I did mine correctly LOL

The weight difference is closer to 1000#. The lightest C7 weighs just over 3300, the heaviest (excluding verts) weighs 3450.
The C7 has a very small p:w advantage. At a drag strip it's a drivers race. With two good drivers the C7 will likely cross the line first but the M5 will trap higher. |

The biggest difference is the gratuitous aftermarket support for the C7. You can already get…. Heads Cams Throttle plate nitrous kits Multiple supercharger kits avail, several more in the works Turbo kit Canned tunes, custom tunes, homemade tunes Big cube built motors |
