Just As I Expected: C&D GT350 vs C7Z51

You sound as if you're a complete ass. It's very clear in this post you quote someone referring to the GT350 for msrp and you call bs.
Chris comes in and verifies that he knows 10 for msrp sales of GT350's.
And here you are still complaining. The look of the car is bad, ride height too high, shifter sucks, no performance stats. You can't stand the car but somehow you still want one. Not because you like it but only because you want a look at me look at me R version in which there are only what 300 made? And you don't even have the balls to pay for it(because there are more buyers than cars)?
Wow!
AGAIN, find ONE post where I said I "deserve" to have a GT350R at MSRP and others do not. Everything else you said is just plain retarded and doesn't have anything to do with anything. Haven't I and others already tried to explain to you that a person doesn't have to gag all the way down to the balls on a car to still like the car? Only an ignorant fanboy would think in such a way. :bored:
Gag to the balls, lol.
Then don't buy it! Stop whining about it! It's that easy.
This one was pretty close, and not the first of its kind. Not explicitly stated, but quite easy to read between the lines, especially when they keep coming up in threads discussing ADMs and the extremely low quantity R production
Waving the white flag so soon....well it was entertaining while it lasted... Ill be looking forward to the next debate between you guys!
You can't be serious, can you? :dw: Talk about grasping at straws! There is no "reading between the lines" for that. That was a wholly different context and you're actually trying to make it fit here?????? Wow.
Then you should have established a relationship with a dealer long ago. As the R is a limited production vehicle and you're not any better than the next guy.
So treynor is the only credible source in this forum?
Before you discredit me, why don't you do a little research. Both Tob and Travis (owner of this site!) can verify me just fine.
I just call it how I see it, multiple other users quoted the same thing in that thread with similar thoughts of disbelief.:dw::dw:
There are three people I listen to on this site. Chris is one of the them. One is a GM guy yuck...
I don't see what the big deal is. The GT350 really should be compared to the M4, ATS-V, and whatever performance Camaro is coming down the line instead of the C7.
The C7 is purpose built sportscar and there's nothing you can do to get around that. There's not much compromise chassis-wise. Superior weight distribution, lower weight, lower center of gravity, superior suspension design, more advanced chassis controls, electronic diff, front mid engine motor placement, the whole nine. Not to mention the low end torque of the LT1 on corner exit. It all makes sense.
I think the GT350 does a great job of getting close in a 4 seat package. What's really going to be interesting is the GT350 vs the next 1LE.

Why shouldn't it be compared when it is capable of running similar times, all that you mentioned aside. Advancement of cars can also come by taking on new challenges outside of the cars' usual competitors, which also helps to reach a larger market.

You've been here since 2011 and you don't know who Chris is? What have you been doing?
The guy has been helping people on this site for years. He saved me and many others a boatload of money with his advice. Before you attack someone maybe do a little research. In fact if you did do a little research maybe you'd be buying the 350R.
The leaf springs are debatable
They're cheap, light, give ability to adjust ride height without mods, and they work. It's not like they're using pickup truck leaf springs. What's debatable? Look at the handling. And in case you didn't know, GM uses those to achieve the Corvette's very low hood. There's no room for traditional springs and shock towers. Educate yourself before attempting lame Internet humor.
PS, I'm back in the game since you guys have attacked a new person.

he knows all of that. He's poking fun. I poke fun about the ohv and leaf springs all the time.
I poke fun at the s197's (and all earlier) solid axle, the catfish camaros 30 year old underpinnings, and the sn95/new edges pinto ancestry.
You'd be surprised how much people know. Just because they don't write it all out, doesn't mean they are ignorant.
I've been avoiding getting hung up in e-bro cliques. Do you have to have an "in" with him to get assistance? Because from where I'm sitting, he has heretofore been about as helpful as a peanut husk. I've asked him twice or more to tell us all where to find these unicorn dealerships that are selling GT350Rs for MSRP or less. His responses have literally equated to "Do you know who I am?! You better ask somebody!" Seriously?
For the e-bros who clearly aren't getting it, which part of asking him for the info isn't considered doing research? :dw: In case you didn't know, "research" includes asking around for information, especially from those who purport to have/know of said information. All I need to know is the information on where I can get a GT350R at or below MSRP. I couldn't care less who he is. We ain't never going fishing or bbq-ing together. So why do I need personal details about him?
With that charming attitude, it is no wonder you couldn't find a GT350R. :lol1:
