Apparently.

Oh well Corvette is the best car in the world everybody and there is no such thing as a faster car in a straight line or on a road course.

Not even open wheel cars or top fuel dragsters keep up. :S

Let's not forget that plush interior and supple ride quality.

I've been in plenty of Corvettes, yeah they're fast but I've been in powerwheels that rode smoother and had a nicer interior.

Hell I think my nephew's playskool toys have better ride and interior quality.

dummbasss you obviously haven't

i've driven and ridden in c5 base model corvettes 100+ mph on shitty country roads like it was floating on air

why do people get so but hurt that a company like GM can make a reliable, gas efficient, cheap, fast, and good handling car?

Looking for that little euro or jap car niche that has better cars in similar price ranges and classes? Forget it. Stick to the econoboxes.

American V8 carrying automobiles will always have the widest margin of domination across all forms of racing because no other type of car can overcome the hurdles of having to deal with...high costs, fwd, unreliabillity, availability of parts.

Get over it kids, the corvette is a good deal and it owns. Of course you can build a faster car for cheaper, but that's not what the arguments about, is it?

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 
The new Z06 and C6 models have a real nice interior, and ride a lot softer than lots of other 500bhp+ sports cars... Plus, does the Atom ride smooth?

Nobody is arguing that the corvette isn't a badass car. The original argument was that the atom would beat it in almost every aspect except for top speed (obviously).

Older corvettes rode like ---- the C5's ride perfect ive never drove a c6 but im sure their the same or better then the c5's

yeah I don't know what the argument is then. An atom cannot be an everyday car. I've seen granny's driving z06's getting groceries.

I rode shotgun in a C6 at 176mph down a shitty country road. I was impressed, straight and solid. The roof sounded like it was going to pop off though.

Being an everyday car wasn't the argument either, it was which would perform better. It only takes enough time for the light to bounce off the picture of an atom, be received by your eyeballs, and processed by the brain to immediately realize it wouldn't be a viable everyday car.

I don't see how this turned into a discussion about the Z06... It's short about 150bhp and 400lbs too fat

ha ha ha. I love how you get all butt hurt as soon as anyone makes a negative comment regarding the c6. Dude pull your redneck head out of GM's ass. You carry on like you designed the ------ thing yourself! Why get so worked up about people not agreeing with you that its the ultimate supercar!? I just knew you were gona come out with a string of posts to back up your precious after my comments. Just deal with it man, not everyone thinks its the ----! Oh and for the record, Clarkson is a bit of a dick.

you saying it has no independent suspension IS NOT A ------- OPINION.

you saying the suspension is off a horse cart is not opinion.

you saying the ass end bounces around corners because it has a solid axel IS NOT A ------- OPINION DUMBASS

as for the fit and finish, you've never seen one so how the ---- would you know.

Re: Fear... 2009 Corvette LS9
 
There's one thing I guarantee the Atom has over the Corvette, it's got that it factor. It's probably loads more fun to drive, kinda like how a Honda or a Mini are much more fun to drive ie they feel like gokarts vs something like a Sentra or a Saturn or something of comparable value and power output. Civics are fun to drive, people from JMU's car club tell me all the time how they are looking for one to have fun with. The Atom has a similar gokart feel, I'd imagine. Now I haven't driven an Atom or a Vette, but I'd put money on that.

You act like they're some kind of rare exotic car, talking like people have never seen a C6 let alone a Z06. I see them every day, every time I drive more than 5 miles I see one - and that's exactly one of the reasons why it'll never be worth $100k in my eyes no matter what shiny badges it has on the back.

The bottom line is that you'll never convince me any new corvette is going to be worth 100k to me.

There are so many better things to do with $100,000 I won't even begin to list them.

I am currently driving a Chevy 2005 malibu and personaly I have never riden in a shitty car. Its at 38K and the buttons for doorlock and power windows have already chipped and faded to reveal that they are some sort of Clear buttons that is back lit and painted black. so new only the little window icon shape glows but now all the pain is gone so its a huge glowing button in yoru periffreal vision. The seats feel like 2 boards put together in an L shape and have no contour to them at all. a 15 minute car ride is Uncomfertable and between the odd road noise, Super slushy steering, touchy brakes and overall cheap ass feeling I have to say it feels like you are driving a 84 cavalier.

The car has some pep to it and when you put it on the floor it goes but honestly thats is the only time it feels Ok and not akward is when your at 60 and up or flooring it. other than that the car drives like a giant plank of wood. and of course just like any Chevy V6 Autotragic ive ever driven its especialy akward at part throttle, wierd hesitation or studder as it tries to either bog out in gear or slam wide open and downshift. Not a very smooth transition between chillin and part throttle acceleration like in my Pilot. Its like there is wide open or chillin.

Cliff notes: 2005 Malibu = poo poo and I am trying to fuel more GM = teh suck arguements

It drives and feels like a complete piece of ---- but yet there is really nothing wrong with it(ie nothing broken not worn out) but my 97 Civic is not only more comfertable but feels more luxiourious to me. Hate to say it but a LS1 camaro rides the same to me. Fast car but shitty ass ride unless you are balls out IMO.

its all opinion, lots of people will say the opposite.

i'm sure to you a great ride is ebay shocks with cut springs bouncing around in your super handling 97econobox

Cut springs? Real nogs use chains to keep the suspension compressed for lowering.

the only way i could justify me owning something that crazy would be if it was in a work truck that would be usefull or if i was rich and didnt give a ---- about gas mileage or if i was a racer and thats what i drove. but im too poor to afford even the insurance much less the gas. and with enough brains in your head you can get a good four cylinder that puts out enough horsepower to have plenty of fun with. i just cant see giving up a cheap and fast/quick 4 banger that still gets 30 miles a gallon for something i would have to save up money just to afford to drive much less pay for. but its still a cool car to drool over.
