Yeah, well, just don't roast the G8X too much or you'll get banned like a bunch of us did. Besides that, this forum isn't a bad place. The irony is they banned us bc they knew we were right. Hopefully it will drive better than it looks.

Yeah exactly ...head over the the corvette forum as a new owner and roast a corvette, and see how that work out for you most of those guys just keep buying corvettes year after year and don't even realize there are actually other great cars that exist but they all consider themselves "car guys".

Bahahaha, I was one of the first ones to roast it. I don't know if they started banning that early.

To be fair, I don't blame them. I regret waiting this long to get one for track duty + little bit of street driving. Humiliates all the other cars I've ever had even if I ignored the power/torque advantage.

I roast the Vette a little bit on there too. The amount of people that get C7Zs and C7ZR1s in the dumpster fire 8-speed auto should tell you that most of them aren't car guys. Even have a post in the track forum talking about how much better the chassis and cooling of the F82 is. Couple of guys that replied in that thread even have an F82/F80 as a daily.

I despise brand loyalty - until someone starts giving me cars for free; no mercy on the roasting.

I have very few issues with corvettes in general its some of the folks who own them I have the problem with. And yes brand loyalty is a pet peeve of mine that's one of the reasons some of those fellas get under my skin.

Quick story ...there was a really nice gal on the corvette forum who owned a nice C7 GS 2lt ( OR maybe 3lt can't remember ) and she decided to sell it and buy a M2 and man! the stupid comment's wouldnt stop she just got beat up on. It was disgusting and NOT 1 positive remark about BMW's just a rip fest mostly because everyone posting negative comments has ever driven a M car or BMW for that matter.

I get less annoyed of Corvette guys because most of them are senile anyway. They haven't even really driven their Corvettes either. That's why it took GM a few years to realize there was some major heat issues on the C7Z when you've got 100% load on the car.

But yeah, no surprise. Camaro6/Rennlist is the same thing which is why I prefer this place.

I still crack up every time someone asks if the tire pressure was off 1 psi in threads like this.

last corvette comment I promise

before I bought my Z51 I test drove a gorgeous 2018 Watkins glen gray Z06 3lt w/the Z07 package but it had the 8 spd. That thing got up to 230-240 coolant temp and crazy high oil temps in 15 min of street driving, what a disappointing car that was. man...its to bad the C7 didn't have a DCT. The 7MT is where its at anyway.

Ok...sorry for the major derail.

Yeah the auto is real bad with heat.

My coolant is pretty good, even at Sebring in the heat - running it all day they never went over 225/230F.

But even with my M7, the oil and trans temps are crazy. On that same day at Sebring, my trans got to 260F and my oil 285/290F.

My M4CS didn't even go over 200F at 100+ F at Limerock Park.

I have pretty much constantly roasted the G and not been banned. Are they still doing that?

I like the Vette talk. Ide rather have a new C8 than any new BMW.

Speak of the devil: https://www.corvetteactioncenter.com...le.php?id=1478 (Just issued)

2015-2018 warranty extension and upgrades for cooling

The fact that GM issues a bulletin for "Certain 2015-2018 model year Chevrolet Corvette Z06 vehicles may have a condition where the vehicle may overheat and enter a reduced power mode when driven on a track at sustained high speeds in high ambient temperatures" is awesome.

As opposed to my M4CS owner's manual telling me that driving the car on race tracks is forbidden and will not be covered by warranty. (This isn't just a BMW thing, almost every manufacturer - including PORSCHE - does this.. although they leave it open ended by asking you to contact your dealership to find out what will be covered)

Meanwhile, the Vette comes with a "track preparation" guide and additional parts to install (brake cooling ducts, deflectors, aero etc) before you go and covers everything under warranty.

99.9% or more of the crap you see are outright lies, and it gives a voice/platform to an infinitesimal lunatic minority to spread their degenerate shit all over the planet.

Tech should have progressed no farther than flip phones, I'm dead serious about this.

I'd take a base C8 over any g80 g82 tbh especially considering the price difference.

F82 versus base c7 would be f82 all day.

This.

And that one hand driving is actually looked upon as skillful

everyone ragging on the c7 about oil temps at the track, lol.

on the street for rolls, it's fine. trust me. I could do multiple 40 hits in the z06 and have zero issues.
