I was wondering if you had the heavy springs/swaybar package on yours with the BB? This one has the 550 springs on front and composite 360 on the rear, and BB swaybars. And though it handles quite well, the ride is very harsh with this SB. I'm think I'm going to go with more of a touring setup than what is installed now. What are you running with now?

Pushed out of the back of a C-140 it would be close.

However, it might night want to rev at a stop light next to a Tesla Model S P100D...

I have #550 in the front (same springs I had w/ the BB) and a #360 composite spring in the rear. It rides and handles well. I'm not running a rear sway bar, and it's not needed as she sits.

What shocks are you running?

Corvettes are like mullets.

It's like a party up front but all the trash is in the rear.

Super low life trash car for people who think they have money.

Bilstein. The previous owner added the HD swaybars, OEM parts. He at one time was going to put a BB L71 in it but changed his mind after he did most of the suspension mods. Maybe I just need more cushion in the seat bottom

Well, that’s some mental images I need to ponder for sure!

The A8 in my z06 works flawlessly. It's an amazing transmission. Granted, I had it tuned and AFM is disabled. That seems to be what's causing the tranny failures in these cars.

Way overpriced.

I'll stick with Corvettes.

When they build 40,000 of them a year, the OT Ballers will have one for each day of the week.

BoostAddict:
Unless one considers multiengine platforms or your definition of a supercar is based on straight line speed and acceleration, your post belies either ignorance or prejudice.

As posted ealier the 991 GT2 Porsche does own the speed record at The Ring.

But the chassis and suspension characteristics required to make that possible in a rear engine car yields a car the is undrivable on the street and even on the track requires a kidney belt because the ride stiffness is so strong

Go drive an Audi R-8 or a 458 Ferrari and you will understand te difference between horsepower, and a supercar.

LOLWUT?

The corvette is ALREADY a true performance car and has been for years.

"super cars" generally start at three times what the most expensive Corvette costs.

Try 2.5 million more in price...

To the previous poster, the Bugattis are more like (Hyper) GT cars than track cars. Even with twice the horsepower (and an extra 1000 pounds of weight) and even on a horsepower track like the Nordschleife the ZR1 will almost certainly be faster. It won't, however, be faster in a straight line than the Chiron with its power and AWD advantage and the chassis tuning on the ZR1 is going to keep it from being a 1/4m wonder also. To put the Bugs in perspective the original Veyron is only about as fast as a current 911 S around the 'Ring (note you have to extrapolate the times since the Veyron numbers were set on the old 232m longer course).

Once again we see someone who is trying too hard in the OT. Bro no one here doubts that a new C7 costs more than the house you live in is worth.
