I think everyone on this forum will agree that the C7 is a big step forward for Corvette being the only true sports car made in America. I am interesting in reading posts from owners of the C7 that have driven other sports cars from around the world and how they feel the C7 compares. The most enjoyable car I have driven occurred two years ago behind the wheel of a Ferrari F430. Unbelievable car and nothing else is like it. Of course, hard to compare a rear engine Ferrari to a front engine Corvette but it did spark my interest to compare the numbers. Honestly, the C7 is the closest I have come to the enjoyment of the F430, and honestly it is better in so many ways being a new car. So consider the specs:
Ferrari 0-60 3.8 C7 3.8
Ferrari slalom 68.9 C7 72.8
Ferrari Breaking 60-0 109 ft. C7 93 ft
Ferrari 1/4 mile 12.48 seconds C7 12 seconds
I know different conditions result in slightly different numbers but I was surprised to find that the C7 appears to best the F430. Pretty impressive. Please share you stories of other cars driven compared to the C7.
