2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 vs. 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR
FIND OUT WHO WINDS, ZO6 OR GT500KR: www.edmunds.com Chevrolet Corvette ZO6 @ the Track: www.youtube.com Camaro Fights Mustang and Challenger: www.youtube.com 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT V6 Full Test: www.youtube.com Ford Shelby GT500 v Hennessey Camaro: www.youtube.com Hennessey HPE550 Supercharged Chevy Camaro SS: www.youtube.com We’re looking at the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR and 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, but we’re imagining a ’68 Shelby GT500KR staging next to a Corvette with one of the 427-cubic-inch V8s on the Connecting Highway in Queens, New York, probably sometime during the Nixon administration. We don’t know how the cars are tuned or which driver has the better hole-shot technique, but we’re calling our street race in favor of the Vette. You see, there’s no historical basis for a close Corvette-Mustang rivalry. A Corvette of any year is a little too fast and smart to be street racing ratty muscle cars. It’s a real sports car, the kind of car that’s still fun when you start going around corners. But maybe it’s a different story with this 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR and 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Each of these rear-wheel-drive coupes has a V8 rated for more than 500 horsepower at the flywheel. And with the release of the limited-edition 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR, Ford has moved in on Chevrolet’s price territory. The GT500KR leaves the Ford factory as a $46730 GT500 coupe and is shipped as a rolling chassis to Carroll Shelby’s facility near the Las Vegas Motor …

Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sports – The Immortal

A car like the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport can make even amateurs immortal. Maneuvers that take great skill in lesser automobiles are executed with such ease and precision as to seem unchallenging. And what beauty! You can really get a complex with everybody popping flash bulbs in your eyes ? friends, family, co-workers, delivery guy, neighbor standing alone in my driveway. To really cause drama, choose a GS Convertible in bright yellow with white hash marks on the front fenders. Lady Ga Ga riding horseback upside down through Central Park would not draw so many pa-pa—-razzi.
Grand Sports were originally built for a race series that included the 24 Hours of LeMans and 12 Hours of Sebring in 1963. Engineers removed 1,000 lbs. from standard Sting Rays, installed aluminum engines, Plexiglas windows, fender flares, and bathed them in a blue and white paint scheme. Chevrolet planned 125 units, but built only three coupes and two roadsters. Another GS was offered as a farewell for the C4 generation in 1996, painted blue with white stripes and red fender hashes.
Holy Heaven, it is easy to be seduced by the Vette’s beauty and power. Hit the Zeus pedal and you’ll defy gravity like your favorite Greek deity while cackling in five registers. Nothing is more heavenly than letting a mom in her porked-out SUV ride your bumper at 70 mph, then tap down and tap her out as a blur of numbers rips across the heads-up display. The ethereal sound that comes out of the GS’s pipes when the second mode opens shakes the rafters like Celine Dion on testosterone.
It is hard to believe this is the BASE Corvette’s 6.2-litre V8 engine, producing 436 HP – far less powerful than the Z06′s 505-HP or the ZR-1′s 638-HP. Further keeping this in perspective, the Grand Sport produces 61-HP more than the vaunted ’90 ZR-1. The Grand Sport can do the naught to 60 strut in 3.98s and top out at 190 mph. It will also pull 1.0g on the skidpad and achieve 15/25-MPG city/hwy. Vented and cross-drilled brake rotors, four-wheel ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, and mama’s largest rubber sneakers keep this toboggan gliding mostly straight.
You expect unrivaled performance, however Corvettes are also some of the easiest cars to drive. Wind, semi wake, and long days just don’t affect you in a Corvette cockpit as they would in other vehicles; it is wide, planted like a steamroller, and if the trip is getting a little long, a slight twitch of your big toe can move things along. Skip the Magneride adjustable suspension ? the base chassis is near perfect.
On a short drive around town with her hair blowing about, my four-year-old niece whispers to me, “My daddy said to talk you into getting ice cream.” I figure nothing goes better with a convertible and a niece better than ice cream. Besides, how was I going to resist that cute face? I also had to usher each of my two nephews through the same drive-up window. The little gremlins were wearing as much twist cone on their clothes as was smushed on their lips, nose, cheeks, and leather bucket seats. The fact that my sister requested milkshakes with straws is beside the point ? not the first time I did something controversial.
Kids love Corvettes, and this big kid went absolutely drooly over the Grand Sport Convertible. Check the exterior. Exposed projector beam headlamps look good in the car’s long, sloping hood with bulging fenders. A low cowl lets drivers have a great view of the road or track. The bulge that starts in the doors and flows back into the rear fenders is taken from the 1963-67 C3 generation Vettes. Four round taillamps couldn’t come from anything except for GM’s technology leader.
The power top goes from 0-sunshine in 18 seconds to reveal an available stitched leather dash, heads-up display, shift paddles, navigation, Bose audio with CD, XM Satellite Radio, and heated leather seats with power-adjustable lumbar. Corvettes should immediately receive a USB port for full iPod compatibility, higher-grade trim leather (like Porsche or the Escalade Platinum), and removal of the generic steering wheel (I recommend installation of the Camaro’s deep-dish wheel). Nobody should complain about the roadster’s basketball star legroom or generous luggage locker.
Unlike many over-hyped, under-satisfying products, Corvettes surpass your wildest imagination, causing you to praise your savior each and every time you hit the throttle. Whatever you dreamed as a little boy, the real thing is better as a man (or woman).
After your time in a Vette, there is an eerie silence around you as your celebrity wanes. All of the photos have been taken, obscene amounts of gas were burned, and I am mortal again. Even more than an American icon, directly tracing its pedigree to the exuberant 1950s, the Corvette defies the grim reaper’s swath to plant its flag around the world. GS Convertibles start at $58,580; ours came to $75,740.
ZR1 Put to the Test: 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Full Test
FOR FULL ARTICLE: www.edmunds.com Brute force, a quality we can’t help but assign to any car generating 638 horsepower, is by definition anything but subtle. Yet the 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1 manages at once to be both brutally quick and remarkably mild-mannered. Its quarter-mile acceleration is quicker than any production car we’ve ever tested, its chassis is benign but highly capable and its carbon-ceramic brakes are mind-bending in their effectiveness. This new Vette offers an unlikely combination of performance and real-world usability that we’re proud to experience in an American car. This combination is as rare as truth in a presidential debate. Honestly, most of the ZR1′s competition (think Dodge Viper ACR) or Nissan GT-R)) is less capable and makes a much larger compromise in typical road driving. With the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 we have a machine that is engaging to drive, capable of making insane numbers on the test track and also a legitimate road car.
