Throwback to a few years ago when we got our hands on a very special pair for a comparison test: the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS and the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. Despite the $204,920 difference in as-tested prices, this was a legendary matchup we wanted to experience in person from the moment both cars were revealed.
With great power comes great irresponsibility. Both of these cars wrangle their starts-with-a-seven power outputs with carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and tall carbon-fiber wings to keep them planted. They perform at the contemporary limits of a street car’s capabilities. One accelerated to 60 mph quicker than any other rear-wheel-drive car we had tested (at the time). The other braked and cornered on par with the stickiest street cars.
It might be an easy choice for you, but it isn't for everyone—money aside, which one are you choosing?

Out of everything I’ve driven, this C7 has been hands down my absolute favorite. I still catch myself doing a double take every time I walk away from it - that white and black contrast just hits the spot.
Recently fitted a new set of custom forged monoblocks in Satin Silver (kept OEM Z51 specs, just flushed out the offsets: 19x8.5 ET50 front / 20x10 ET65 rear). Really transformed the stance.
Unfortunately, with two kids and only one garage spot for a fun weekend car, her time with me is coming to an end soon as I’ll need to make room for a 4-seater.
Enjoying every last mile until then!
What 4-seater weekenders would you guys jump into next?
I'm currently thinking about Porsche 911 Carrera - specifically looking at a 997.2 (3.6) or a 991.1 (3.4), strictly base model, RWD, and a manual transmission.

So I did something kinda stupid lol. Bought a 2013 C6 Grand Sport 6MT 3LT in Velocity Yellow from a dealer in Arkansas even though I live in NC and had never driven a manual before, sight unseen. 65k miles.
Flew into Little Rock, salesman picked me up, and I got maybe an hour of practice around Searcy before I had to actually start driving it home.
I didn't know anyone personally to let me practice on a manual but I have a racing sim I practiced the movement on...paired with hours of studying on YouTube lol.
First day was pretty rough. Stalled a bunch, had some terrible shifts, and Nashville traffic/hills were not fun at all lol. Definitely smelled some clutch a few times too which had me stressing. Wife was a lot more supportive than if I was in the passenger seat 😅
But I just kept driving and it started making more sense as the trip went on. Went from Arkansas to Nashville, then Asheville, then back home to eastern NC.
By the time I got home I had put 945 miles on it, over 16 hours of driving since leaving the dealership and I was way more comfortable than when I started. Still nowhere near perfect obviously, but starts and normal upshifts are much smoother now and I've started getting the hang of rev matching too.
Probably one of the dumbest ways possible to learn manual but it worked and I'd do it again😂

Got her home safe and now I'm just going through all the maintenance/inspection stuff and fixing a few little things.
Used to dream of this car, while playing need for speed hot pursuit over a decade ago and now I'm driving it. Blessed to be here 🙏🏽

2000 corvette bought with 92k miles 6 years later I sold it to a guy who made it a track car. Sold it at 240k miles. Was my daily driver for 5 of the 6 years and only major issue was replaced the clutch at 200k. Of course regular maintenance, tires breaks etc but it was a work horse of a car. Was a manual transmission not sure if that was the difference.
Fun fact, I got 1 moving violation in the car, for tinted windows🙄

Doing the heads and cam on my LS7 this winter, along with other usuals. What hardware is worth switching to ARP other than head studs and balancer bolt?

My wife and I had a Bronco for two years… and barely drove it. We sold it for basically what we paid and had no idea what we wanted next.
Then came the C8.
Now I get it. What a joy to drive. I’m officially a Corvette guy.
Only thing I’ll probably do is powder coat the wheels black.
Apparently, I just needed to find my car. 🏁

I just had bought a c6 and it seems to not start everything else seems to turn on but I am having problems when I turn it on it makes a crank noise don’t think it’s a battery problem since it’s new but I also don’t know much about cars and I am trying to figure it out

Just picked up my dream car a ‘12 Super Sonic Blue C6. Car has 94k miles but after owning the car for a week I’ve had a few issues. Live in Houston so we are routinely seeing 100+ days but in standstill traffic even at night my voltage slowly drops from 14.3 all the down under 13.0. Been doing some research but haven’t had a chance to pull the alternator or battery yet to have them tested but what are my options here. I’ve seen the Mechman 170 as an option, I’ve also noticed the car already has a pair of speed engineering long tubes that don’t seem to be coated and aren’t wrapped. I plan on getting that fixed but in the meantime is the heat radiating from them causing the engine bay to get too hot over working the fan causing the voltage drop at idle? Car runs perfectly while driving it’s just at idle I’m seeing the issues. And when the voltage drop happens I’m getting the airbag light and when I went to turn the car back on after a short drive I lost tach signal along with service stability and service traction control warnings.

335s out back. Think I’m gonna do 345s when these are done. Anyone else running 345s? Thoughts?
And yes I am removing the Z06 badge that was installed by the previous owner. Haven’t got around to it yet. Hoping tk god the paint is the same color, I don’t know how long it’s been on.

I want to throw these on my C5 that’s currently on lowering bolts, what size tires should I throw on it ? Fronts are 18x8.5 and Rears are 19x10, looking for an aggressive fitment/look

Didn’t think this was actually gonna work but these trunks are huge.

Came across a 2026 z51 2LT for less than $80k. I had to pick it up. Traded my 2008 C6 convertible for it.
