[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 119348, member: 2217"] gymrat. I have driven the Camaro SS 425 hp and the Camaro ZL1 580 hp and as much as I could close my eyes and imagine these were either of my Corvettes with just a different skin, it just wouldn't happen. And trust me, I've been asked by both owners how they compared to either my C6 or my C7. Not to dis Camaros but the camaro is j[I]ust not a Corvette[/I] and maybe I sound like a purist but face it. This is a Corvette forum and we LOVE our Vettes. As far as the additional power goes, We are way beyond having power that 'some' owners will never take advantage of. My MDX has more power than my wife ever uses. That being said, I use every bit of the power in my Corvette lots (and in her MDX occasionally too...lol). And I am not a track person. But when I turn my Stingray onto the highway, I quite often punch the go pedal.... Do my 0 to 100 in under 4 seconds.... back off the gas when I reach 140 ? or so.... but never back off of the smile that doing that puts on my face... When I need to pass a car and drop 3 gears and punch the pedal.... again I'm using all the power I have at my disposal, if only for a few brief seconds... When I am on a twisty mountain road and totally ignore the corner approaching and suggested speed signs, again... the smile is worth whatever the cost.... All these things, plus the head turns every time I drive my car assures me I made the right decision.... Don't be terrified of these monsters no matter what the horsepower... They are only as dangerous as the linkage between the seat and the gas pedal.... But they are as much, and more fun than you can imagine.... JMO of course... :thumbs: [/QUOTE]
