    They shouldn't even make a non convertible version of this car because of the wind buffeting. Also of note, if you're looking to get into one of these I highly suggest you take one for a 24 hour test drive, because if you're over 180 lbs man, you'll sit directly on the side cushions/bolsters, which are rock hard btw, I couldn't sit in one comfortably for more than 20 mins, and my back was aching coming out. Seat bottoms need to be wider, unless you sit like a girl with closed legs. I dont recommend these cars, or the c7 Z06 because of the seats.

    Vbox and Draggy showed 3.3 to 3.5 seconds 0-60. Because it doesn't care about the 1 foot roll out. Interestingly the on board timer started after the 1 foot roll out which is why its lying to us. In fact the 1 foot roll out on this was measured at almost 2 feet! Also the Z51 corvette was so much quicker off the line but after it leaves the line and starts accelerating, thats when the e ray very quickly catches it.

    Love the AWD qualities of the Eray.Truly makes it a friendly year round interstate cruiser over the ZO6. Doesn’t really need a supercharger or twin turbos but those are aftermarket options with AWD grip/safety. I understand the attraction of the cross plane soundtrack(which I need to hear in person)but to me personally,the traditional V8 sounds better…at least on video. You Tube owners of the ZO6 commented that the Eray inspires more confidence in the real world such as a mountain road unlike the ZO6 which is more track focused and may tend to want to spin/kick it’s rear out occasionally if flogged too hard etc. My personal conundrum is of course the price. It is a performance bargain but is one Eray or ZO6 worth more than 3-4 cars worth approx. 50k(minus mods etc.) A C8 Z51(approx 85k) may be the more practical choice but for 114k base…the Eray with its ZO6 body kit,standard carbon ceramic brakes,magneride etc. for 35-40k more does continue to pull at the heart strings. So…3-4 new or one Retirement play toy? A lot of ICE cars will still be made(manual/auto)up until 2035. I plan on acquiring as many as I can afford before the electric golf carts take over…

    im confused the point of this car. Its barely less expensive than a z06 so you gonna go z06 10/10 times. Extra 2k rpm on the redline is no joke and the extra grip from those 335 tires. This car barely has any more power. Is the whole point just the daily driver niceties like keepnig the engine off in the nieghborhood? If so you need to keep the 8.5k redline or reduce the price by 20k. Sry but the last time V8 performance cars had a 6.5k rpm is in the fking early 2000's. hard pass, this car is for people who cant get a z06 allocation and are depressed about it

    • @joem7755
      @joem7755 День тому

      LOL. Another uninformed viewer putting forth a view point. Lets break this down for you. 1) E-ray is about 5K-6K cheaper. 2) E-ray doesnt get hit with a GG tax so thats another $2300-5K you just lost. 3) It gets way better MPG then the Z06 so you save more money there. 4) You have first ever AWD making it safter to drive in any condition 5) You have a stealth mode option that many do like having. Grated it wont get you far but its nice to have. 6) Because of the instant tq it will have better hwy manners without down shifting 4 times like the z06. 7) Look at the forums. Hybrids have less issues the FPC engines . As for tires E-ray owners can get the Zer package with the Ps4 summer tires like on the z06 for 500 bucks more. The z07 package will have the cup2r's but thats an expensive option for the z06. Another thing to point out is that not everyone loves the sound of the FPC. Or hearing it non-stop.. The E-ray is one of the best GT super car out there period. So in closing unless your hitting a circle track allot or care more about the sound then all the features I posted then Z06 is your car. Otherwise E-ray is the one for most buyers
