Road & Track: three car test
 

I would like to post a link to this as I subscribe to corvetteonline and I thought this was an interesting write up. Not because they tested a 458 vs ZR1 vs MP12-4C either.

What I found amusing was that during the dyno testing and track testing the only car that didn't have any factory personal in attendance appears to have been the corvette. I just found that kind of funny. Okay, maybe I have a rather unique sense of humor I guess?

Extremely entertaining.

the corvette is probably the only one that didn't need tinkered with during the test....and I'd still rather have the MP4-12c

I too read this review and had the same reaction to the Corvette coming up against these two super cars without any factory babysitter.

AND THEY GAVE THAT STUPID **** PRESS!

I have to be honest. I thought it is very telling that two superior cars, okay price wise at least, needed baby sitters just to have an established race car driver test them around a real race track. I'm sure I could break either of them very easily, being a dunce about driving a supercar. I'm not so sure I could break the ZR1 though. :o

I guess if you have the kind of cash it takes to join that club, it doesn't really matter how much maintenance your rides need, right? :sign10:

we have neither a local mclaren nor ferrari dealer network. to work on the cars you either have to send your ferrari to phliy, columbus, chicago or baltimore. McLaren will send techs to you

Well, I guess there is one good thing about living where I do live....bad roads & congestion not withstanding..... you can have any of these supercars and not have to go too far to get factory help! :-D


I'll still take a corvette please, because that's what I can afford to own! Oh, and with my corvette...I'd like 4 cams and 32 valves thank you very much!:dancing

Re: Road & Track: three car test
 

what they didn't say was the Corvette will kick the ever living **** out those other two cars, even though it is an old design. They still haven't caught up.
