To be fair, not sure how hard he was trying. End of vid is third light we had together, he seems to lose control at the end. Custom plate had my wife okay with doing this with her in the car. As a shareholder, find this is my duty!

I traded my C7 Grand Sport for an M3P+. The M3P will destroy it from 0-60. The C7 is rated at 3.7 sec 0-60 but most will never really see that in the real world do to tire spin and traction control kicking in. The best I could get with the built-in timer was 4.2 sec. The C6 is rated at 4.3 sec 0-60, which means more like 4.7 or so real world.
Now, if you keep racing the C7 corvettes will start to making up some ground on the M3P once they hit about about 90-100 but the M3P still crosses the 1/4 mile at 11.7 consistently, where the C7 Corvette will do 12.2 sec. The Z06 or Camaro ZL1 is a better race for the M3P.

Do you miss it? I currently have a 2014 C7 Z51 M7 with an A&A supercharger making 617rwhp.... kinda bored of it and considering buying a P3D+. My wife thinks I’ll regret it
Nothing can replace the experience of top down, rowing your own gears and listening to the NPP exhaust but I don’t really miss it. The Tesla seems to entertain in other ways. Even with the supercharger you will not miss the power if you get an M3P+. The instant torque and lack of transmission never seem to get old and the quick and quiet way it accelerates makes all ICE based vehicles seem archaic. The M3P+ is also easier to live with and handles pretty good. It will pull .95g on the skid pad, which is plenty for the street.
If you can afford both the Corvette would still be fun to have for that Sunday drive but the Tesla is the better choice the other 90% of the time.

I have C6 and a P100D. The Vet is slow, noisy and feels and sounds archaic. I really should sell it and doubt that I would miss it just like I don't miss my old black & white and low def TV's.
The C7’s are better than the C6’s by a lot and the C8 will be better than the C7.
You’re just driving an old car.

Sure, new vets are always incremtaly better, but not by much. All ICE feels now feels, sounds and performs "old".
I didn't say faster, I said better, as in interior quality, and they're just overall better, because they're newer.
Seriously? Have you sat in a C5, vs. C6, vs. C7? C7 is worlds better. The C8 will be on another level as well.
Hell, when I bought a 2015 Cadillac ATS it made my 2009 G8 GXP feel like a fossil.
Sad but true. It kind of ruins pretty much all other ICE based vehicles. I now look forward to more exciting EV based vehicles.
Agreed. Instant torque and a peaceful ride is a surprisingly decent tradeoff for gears and a nice exhaust note.

After a few years driving an electric, "a nice exhaust note" becomes an oxymoron. When higher performance is silent, why would anyone want to hear obnoxious rattle trap noise?
