2024 Corvette E-Ray...

The ERAY will fill the void for those who can’t or don’t want a z06 but don’t want a basic stingray. I’m making the same move. I cancelled my stingray. Got on the eray list and I’m still getting a z06.

Best of both worlds. GM is killing the comp during these last few years of peak ice before we move into ev.

Yawn

A 4000lb + AWD hybrid Corvette is interesting to say the least but a necessary bridge to EV.

I also find amusing when people argue performance car aptitude based on 0-60 times. It's a necessary legacy metric because it appeals to ignorant masses, marketing sound bites, etc. No experienced track junky or accomplished high-performance driver cares about 0-60 when evaluating the merits of a sports car. It is a good reference point that speaks to traction from a dig but that's it. The extra weight of this thing is going to put it miles outside of the Z06 on a road course.

Oh, to respond to the question that I am on BMW forum and talking about not being able to work on the corvette? Maybe they know something I don't....I have worked on many a BMW. There is no problem with them.....it is just work. Porsche is different. Can't get parts and closely guarded software makes working on them VERY hard.

According to an article I read, about $200k income per yr is upper middle class in my geographic area. This world is so backwards & upside down at this point that I am not sure it can be saved. Hooray for the wealth gap.

100%. Thankfully, I should be getting the call to order my Z in the next few months

Yeah. For the 5-10% of people who actually track the cars, sure. But 0-60 is way more important to the rest of the people who couldn't give 2 shits about some ring time.

And that’s why the sheep love Tesla cause leaving a stoplight is all they care about.

I'm not a Tesla fan. But I do get the love of 0-60. It's fun being able to beat everyone from a dig.

[Humdizzle]

yeah i dont get the 0-60 thing either. or straight line performance. its a weird thing bragging about how good you are at holding the wheel straight and putting your foot down. there is literally no skill involved with drag or roll racing. but somehow makes people feel like they are 'better' than the guy they just beat.

I think for most people, 98% of the population or so, stop light to stop light is their track time, as most people will never actually track their cars..Drag racing is legit nothing more than reaction time and who has the fastest car, not much skill at all, but people still want to be the fastest...and why every car video of X vs Y on YouTube is a drag race.

It is why the first thing you hear about any new super car, sports car, muscle car, etc is 0-60 times...especially in this day and age of so many sub 4 second cars ...obviously it isn't the only thing people care about, but its the first indicator of how fast the car is...people don't care what the top speed is, cuz they'll never get anywhere near it anyway. They want to know how fast the car is, not how fast can it go

Track rats don't care about 0-60 times true, but you bet they know what they are

What is you are drag racing said car with a manual trans? Takes at least a little skill there...

Hell yeah it's hard. Lol. Especially with some decent power and not on a track. Definitely need skill and a lot of practice. Then again, who buys a manual anymore. 😉🤣.

it beat the M3 in this Top Gear head to head video on the lap time, 1/4 mile, 0-60 and braking...and this was three years ago in the first gen Model 3 Performance.

Do you see any Teslas on the track? If so how do they do from what you've seen?
Seems like it would be a very affordable way to track a car when all you really got to worry about is tires

No difference whatsoever?

There are so many more moving parts and fluids to replace, repair , replenish or worry about in an gas car, especially a tracked car compared to the simplicity of the EV's with their regenerative braking and one speed transmission

Most people who race their cars are constantly working on their cars or modifying things...

Exactly, plus I've never had any issues with lithium ion battery's dying prematurely in any of my phones or laptopS

Teslas were never meant to be on a track however they aren’t terrible at it like most people think. The weight of an ev is detrimental to tires and brakes so if you were doing lap after lap as of right now a proper gas performance car is superior until they can reduce the weight of your average ev when battery tech improves.

We live in America where it was all about red light to red light racing. That’s where the hp and 0-60 and drag times have become so popular.

Teslas are amazing straight line performers and there’s no doubt about it. A model 3 performance will run a 11.6. Even a long range has been doing 12.1 or so with AB.

Some people do like the appeal of having a silent missile for a daily as well as having it as a weekend toy too.

I love this dude. So glad he didn't get banned forever. His PlayStation was probably worn out since he couldn't post his normal non-sense every 8 seconds. Would love to drink with him
Yawn is perfect for every post he makes. It's the SAME thing every time with a few different words. YAWN X 1,000,000,000

I plan on getting one as soon as it dropped. How much will the markup be on these things when it first comes out?

In 2025 when they come out, hopefully no markups. Lol. Chevy are the biggest clown going right now. So much hype for the 6 and barely any still out. Typical
