2012 Chevrolet Centennial Edition Corvette

[biggboy73]

Put that vette on some 30's riding high. Lol

[Mejevoli]

Lol give the back a little bump. It'll bend for sure XD

[vettelover2009]

who the hell said anything about a Jaguar...I was talking about a mustang

[Daw094182]

damn she's good !

[LeavingWanted]

It in a heart beat. But Performance and cost wise the corvette ZR1 is the best muscle car.

[LeavingWanted]

@JontheStripper Yes the GT was a sexy car. Still is. But is it still in production?...no. How much did it cost?150,000 bucks verses the 110,000 the corvette offers. And since the GT isn't sold anymore that price will soon be in the millions. How much HP? 550 HP. Corvette ZR1 has 640 HP and yet it's cheaper. So I don't think the GT is faster then the ZR1. And you must have penis on the mind a lot to actually think it looks like one haha! So is the GT an amazing sexy car? Absolutely, I would take

[JontheStripper]

it's 2012 and the corvette STILL looks like a penis. And still can't beat a Ford GT. R.I.P all my respect for GM

[enigmaPL]

@JontheStripper as for you, im not defending the corvette, but if youre dick looks like the corvette, you should probably see a doctor

[JohnDPearson90]

@JontheStripper it doesnt just beat a ford gt, it destroys it. Look at nurburgring lap times. I love ford, but dodge and chevy have bragging rights on supercars. hell the new camaro zl1 is only a second slower than a ford gt around the nurburgring. check it out before you start talking shit

[JontheStripper]

@JohnDPearson90 I dont care about other people's lap times xD The one I tuned up and race in the circuit about 20 miles from my town I destroy all the corvette racers. This one guy beefed up a nice Viper. I'm jealous of him cuz it's sexy and custom painted. I can talk shit about a car that I beat regularly, so yeah lol The last thing GM made that I had respect for was the good ol Buick GNX

[vettelover2009]

@JontheStripper ...yeah...you had to tune it to beat them...i wonder how many of those vettes are mildly modded...its always funny to me that people have to tune their cars to beat the vettes...just makes you sound like an idiot

[CONTENDER791]

@JontheStripper You have no clue and sound like your 16. Hurry , your school bus is waiting

[GetsumJ]

@JontheStripper wow... at 19 years old you must have owned so many Vettes and GTs. I should sub your page for expert opinions in the future.

[crrider12564]

Beauty. Check out my giant killer robot project.

[1970351cmustang]

Is that a sticker on the side? LOL When Ford had their 100th anniversary they made the Ford GT and it wooped ass! Kind of weak on Chevy's

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang funny...since the ZR1 whoops on the GT...so a sticker will do just fine...

[1970351cmustang]

Actually acceleration wise it is exactly the same 3.3 0-60 quarter at 11.2. The gt's rear engine makes it more stable on turns and when you buy the Vette an average person will think its just a regular corvette because they are everywhere at least Ford put the effort into a completely one of a kind car. Oh and the 550 on the GT is actually underrated the 638 ZR1 only puts low to mid 500's at the wheel same as the GT. You'd think being newer there would be a bigger performance gap not a tie

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang Um, no vettes are not everywhere...they make around 30,000 a year average...sometimes less...Gay Rustangs are everywhere...because ford decided to put a v6 in them so all rednecks and stupid bitches can buy them...thats why the mustang is for fags and bitches...vettes hit 1 million units in '91...mustangs hit 1 million units in what, '70 or earlier?...and the vette has been out since '53...the mustang...'64 (64.5 if you wanna get technical)

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang also...take into consideration how much driveline loss is in the corvette compared to the gt...it has to go down the hole cat through a torque tube...the gt has a direct drive through a trans and diff...but the gt is going to have oversteer like a mother fucker since its midengine...a ZR1 is a balanced car...easier to throw through curves...put it at nurburgring and tell me the GT lap time...if there is one...hope it beats a 7:19 around the ring...

[1970351cmustang]

The Ford GT is a faster more prestigious car. ya the corvette has more of a drive train loss that's a design flaw along with the ancient OHV design. There's no such over steer on a Ford GT. The front engine design has more weight up front which makes it harder to point the nose the direction you want to go. the ZR1 is simply a corvette on steroid's as where the Ford GT is a whole other car. Every exotic sports car in the world Porsche,Ferrari,Lambo,Bugatti etc. are rear engine for a reason.

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang well...ill have you know that the Corvette design team has been trying to do a mid engine layout for years...since the very early 70's...yet the corporate bean counters are the ones who keep them from doing it. The corvette does not suffer like a mid engine...all you need to do is power the rear end around with acceleration pedal inputs...this can be done in a lowly pickup truck as well because of the drivetrain layout...the corvette is a 49/51 balance, nearly perfect...

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang plus I don't care how prestigious the GT is...if it can't be faster on the track for 100000, I don't want it....simply put, the ZR1 is way more bang for the buck and makes gobs of torque, which is what really matters...604 ft. lbs to be exact...everyone wants hp, but torque is what moves you down the road...

[1970351cmustang]

It is faster I don't know what your smoking but it was made for speed its a recreation of the GT40 which destroyed everything corvettes and Ferraris alike. The Zr1 is a great car smoking expensive euros left and right and is on my dream list but when it comes to technology and speed the GT has it OHC, rear engine, only about 2000 made, aerodynamics its the whole package. The cobra jet that comes in that car is capable of putting 1500 to the wheels with no internal modifications an ls9 cant.

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang really...the GT is faster around a track...lets see that video...i have a video that proves a ZR1's capabilities...I searched for a GT Ring Run...guess what...there aren't any...none to be found...unless its a video game...go ahead and see for yourself...just going straight line doesn't mean jack shit...I want to see the whole fucking package...and when the GT crosses the line before the ZR1...come talk some more shit...until then the ZR1 has an official time...7:19

[1970351cmustang]

If you know how to drive it, its a faster car and a straight line is where 99.9% of all street races take place you don't see people racing around turns and shit you fight it out from a stoplight or on a freeway. Either way your still an ignorant Government motors lover who cant deny that their new corvette can barely beat or keep up with a car that is 4 years older and is still using ancient OHV engines Hell the original GT40 had a SOHC 427. Ford puts way more technology into cars then Chevy.

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang See...you're the ignorant cocksucker...not I...I don't street race...I take it too the track...You are the retard who makes it bad for everyone else...And as far as the OHV engines...they are way simpler...far less to go wrong...and the Number one Point...They still fucking get the job done...why fix what isn't broken...just improve upon it...Fords engines are way more difficult than they need to be...change a timing chain or spark plug on those engines and get back to me

[1970351cmustang]

Man you really are getting aggressive I guess that's all you got seeing how you have a corvette and wont take no for an answer even if you are wrong. Simpler isn't always better every exotic sports car in the world is DOHC except the ZR-0 you are right about improving upon it thats why Ford improved! Chevy needs to keep it simple because if something does go wrong they'll need another bailout for the recall LOL!! Oh and changing a spark plug is just as easy as on your Vette.

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang haha...changing plugs and timing chains are not easy on ANY MOD motor...period...that proves you don't know jack shit about them other than the stats you've read...get a fucking life...don't need to waste any more time on a dumb ass...and thats a fact...You drive a mustang...and those are fucking gay...and it's prolly a v-6 at best...

[1970351cmustang]

Actually I'm a 50 year old machinist with 12 years in at the test site, and another 20 owning my own business and I recently bought my son a 2012 GT500 with the track pack so you'll want to watch out if you see him on the road even more so with my 70:). I have completely rebuilt my 70 ported heads cams exhaust 3.91's and that was in 1980. I am doing a ground up resto in the next year! I live here in Vegas so I do my dyno tuning at Shelby American there even the Vette guys admit the GT rules!!

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang all that hog wash means jack shit to me...you still didn't admit the mod motors are a bitch to do any work on, because you've never touched one...And I'm sorry...but a CT doesn't rule in my book...don't care...it's live axle...only good for dragging...I want to turn corners too...Vette wins in nearly every category

[1970351cmustang]

Ok so maybe losing to me will mean something next time your in Vegas just let me know will meat up at midnight mayhem at the drag strip. Oh and my Shelby will out handle your amazing Vette any day!! Come and see. Your right I've never dissembled a mod motor only surcharged one and it was no problem at all. The first thing a Chevy guy thinks of is how easy it is to work on because he thinks hell be having to fix it all the time but he forgets it's a Ford not a Government motors vehicle.

[vettelover2009]

@1970351cmustang HAHAHA...you're joking right...you obviously haven't paid much attention to how these cars handle...and they have launch control...so it can muster very repeatable 60 foots...and then stomp your ass around the track...plain and simple...the mustang is so fucking heavy...its a joke...then its down on hp, and tq from the ZR1...come on dude...wake up...you're dreaming again...

[HPSLUT500]

@1970351cmustang The GT500 got its ass handed to it by last years 2011 Z06 when tested by MT at Streets of willow. The 2012 is far ahead again, its not even worth talking about.

[JontheStripper]

@1970351cmustang Yes shelbys and mustangs rule. But the Ford GT (just called GT) destroys anything. It was a limited thing and it still bests the 2012 corvette. Isn't it pathetic that a car that looks like a fiberglass penis nd not the #1 fastest is the most popular? screw corvettes

[GetsumJ]

@1970351cmustang I am also a 50 year old who owned one of the best Mustangs ever built. Vin 67402F-2A00366. Look it up if you feel the need. And I can still get Fords on the Z-Plan. That being said, Ford has a long way to go to compete with the Corvette. When I see a Ford actually compete at the Texas Mile, then I will be impressed. Until then, it's all about Corvettes, Vipers, Supras, and Lamborghinis.

[GetsumJ]

@vettelover2009 I have to disagree. You probably never changed plugs on a Jaguar X-Type. You have to pull the intake off.

[TheLs1junkie]

i work for a german car company maybe you have heard of them called porsche, and let me let you in on something they suck they overengineer the simplest things and on top of that the technology is always failing, you could work on a corvette with minimal mechanical aptitude porsche you cant even check your oil the corvette is a great car along with mustang camaro viper ford gt, these cars are true performance cars even though they dnt tag on a 200k price tag

[StanceDude]

Haters will hate and the fact is that they don't have nicer cars, and don't have any significant knowledge about the car to make any significantly smart comment.

[CHUUMPASS]

seriously what`s all of that inept talk about corvette interiors, ferrari is extensively using fiat parts for their interiors, like vents, knobs, handles etc. yes they come with a leather wrapped dash board and door inlets with stitching but you can have that in a corvette as well if you like to pay a lil extra.

[APBGrrl]

I love this interior. i know a lot of people think it looks like crap but its an upgrade to my C5. Love the contrast stitching.

[CASSINOx]

You really can not go wrong with a corvette. Theres a lot of Pros: Power, Looks, Comfort, will always turn a head, will mostly keep up with any car. the only really big Con is that the exterior is mostly plastic... Lol

[mdforsberg49]

i'm sorry i owened a 69 corvette with mods one of my first performance cars. i was not really blown away in it. i sold it and bought a 97 corvette same interior as my wife's 96 monte carlo z34. i have worked for chevy as an engineer for years i still have to say i am not blown away. i quit my job there in 08 cause all of our engine designs our styling our everything was changed to what euro styling. and super charger everything. i will buy a chevy again when its american again.

[Bloodedism]

Gather up your American muscle (Corvette, Mustangs, Chargers, Challenger, Camaro,) and put them to the test with foreign power (Bugatti, Pagani, Citroen, Keonigsegg, Enzo, Reventon, GTR, Skyline, Supras) ......

[veXati0n]

@Bloodedism Comparing a Bugatti to a Mustang? Are you serious? How come you mentioned European Supercars but not more comparable markets like Opel and Lotus? LULZ you fkin IDIOT.

[Bloodedism]

@veXati0n uhhhh opel and lotus aren't that fast and if u know your cars real well gtr skylines and supra are Asian! and yea compare the Bugatti to the Mustang, Bugatti alone can beat all that i named for american muscle! throw in the viper too!!! lol fuckin' dumbass

[veXati0n]

@Bloodedism LOL you trollin me brah? You couldn't possibly be stupid enough to compare a Bugatti to a Mustang. That's like comparing a Rocket Ship to a Row Boat. Of course Opel and Lotus are slow, that's precisely my point! That's why you chose not to mention them since they're an embarrassment. Nice touch of personal bias, douche.

[Bloodedism]

@veXati0n uhhh what part of American Muscle did you not get bro? what other cars am i suppose to name when it comes to American muscle? all that i name is supposedly the fastest in "America"!!!!!!! i don't think you understand my point "brah" American cars are nothing compare to foreign power! oh FYI u stupid bitch! they compared the bugatti to a jet and a bmw? so is me a saying mustang ok? i think so!

[veXati0n]

@Bloodedism "Muscle” is the flaw in ur argument. You purposely compare muscle to SUPERCARS while conveniently omitting American SUPERCARS. Your bias is painfully obvious by making such a poor comparison. Of course a $2M car is going to be a better than a $30k car! The Hennessey Viper, Corvette ZR1, and Saleen S7 somehow escaped your vastly limited mind...but you're basically trying to make the argument that a plot of dirt is the determining factor for what makes a fast car. What a retarded idea!

[veXati0n]

@Bloodedism no rebuttal, huh fuckwit.

[TexasNova]

06 to present do not have leafsprings. I drive an 07

[mysiflyby]

I would like to know how a company that filed for bankruptcy 2 years ago is celebrating a 100th anniversary. I would think the clock would be reset after Chapter 11...

[EndofDays213]

hope no fiberglass this aint 1980

[tuugfo]

stop fucking hating, damn who cares about the interior, its a vette not a lexus, its got 505 hp and it can embarress supercars 5x the price. i could care less about the interior!!!!!! fucking haters

[Herickberto]

0:31 Dodge viper??

[SpeedDemonS7]

im a GM guy mostly...so when i here them say "the best race technology proven on the track and taken to production"...OR..."pushing technology further" i ask.. have they seen there competitors inventory..they dont run on leaf springs or glue roof panels,use unstable plastic bumpers or using there fingers to ensure the panels and doors are properly lined up ..in my opinion our "race" tech is sub-par compared to the European market - just a thought-

[tuugfo]

@SpeedDemonS7 but think about this the vette is faster than most cars 3x to 5x the price, both on the nurburgring and the drag strip, and the leaf springs are more expensive to replace, and pushrod?? its all proven technology, it works, and its reliable, who gives a damn, its american muscle, corvette is the best bang for buck car ever, period, id take this over any car

[SpeedDemonS7]

@tuugfo as much as i love the corvette.......they didn't go insane or monumental with it when they had every chance to ,no attention to detail or use of ingenuity , half assed interior, "Bang for your buck" is for a weekend romper and impress some kids but it dosent hold a sense of worth over time when you know how it was built and what materials complete the car....and i didn't say nothing about push-rod there are plenty hyper and super cars that have throaty bad ass push rod dry-sump V8s

[veXati0n]

@SpeedDemonS7 The corners cut by GM produce a more affordable car to buyers and allow GM to also make a profit which they need desperately. While I agree the interior of my C5 is cheap, I also know you get what you pay for and I didn't spend six figures on fine Italian leather.

[SpeedDemonS7]

@veXati0n I totally agree! i understand the mass production and economy situation also i mean no disrespect or to talk down anyones rides..the C5,C6, and Z06 have been bang for your buck and no doubt fun to drive! but the cars in my cross-hairs are the Zr1 and this centennial limited build(this might be 100k+) why dont they go the distance with these"special"cars and get eye level with Europe?go insane with interior, tunning,suspension,drive train,body lines something far from its counterparts!

[skillz1855]

@SpeedDemonS7 ur not a GM guy, ur a ricer, the 2012 ZR-1 did a 7.19, the 2012 Z-06 did a 7.22. both 200 mph cars,smokes the GTR with ease on and off the street and far more reliable its been proven, Z-06 NO TURBOS NEEDED, we build race cars, the interior quality is far nicer than what fanboys claim go look at one, we invented this shit

[SpeedDemonS7]

@skillz1855 LOL ..RICER?? im glad you can read a spec sheet...but miss the point i was making .i wasnt talking about nurinburgring production car lap times. it was about build quality, tech and materials on these special edition cars --and what are you ranting about GT-R for i dont care troll--and RICER?? i dont own anything (then and now) under 8 cylinders.....so please calm down

[IcyDeath91]

@SpeedDemonS7 Well the ZR1 still manages to make it around the track faster than about 98% of all cars, so I'd say their "race tech" is just fine.

[SpeedDemonS7]

@IcyDeath91 98%??? damn more abstract figures thrown at me

[SpeedDemonS7]

@IcyDeath91 my intent of any of my comments and opinions on the vette is very simple-- i dont like how there built-- track numbers dont justify or measure the longevity or dependability of any car.. it just says" hey im fast" but i look and was built just like the rest ...to be honest , im glad to see the carbon fiber version getting a little publicity ....... i mean no hate.....

[viasevenvai]

@SpeedDemonS7 2012 Porsche GT3; 1G on the skid pad. 2008 c6; 1G on the skid pad. I think what you are referring to is marketing. After the commercials are over and the advertisers are done talking true performance will show.

You say you are a GM guy and I'm a Porsche fanatic myself.....seems like we are both on opposite sides :)

[petermello55]

@SpeedDemonS7 this car is actually a very good tace car (track car) but yes a lot of the build quality and interior materials are't up to par.

[asterio18]

@SpeedDemonS7 have you ever seen under a c6? there are no more leaf springs.

[SpeedDemonS7]

@asterio18 transverse leaf spring independent suspension??? its still a long spring that simulates the same type of purpose and similarities my 34' ford coupe project has .....

[JohnDPearson90]

@SpeedDemonS7 you dont know anything, Magnetic suspension is the best suspension in the world, Ferrari pays gm to use it, Carbon ceramic brakes are the best in the market, v8 pushing 638 is unmatched, put two corvette engines and it produces more than W16 Bugatti veyron ss. Carbon fiber roof, hood, fenders, etc. Best 6 speed transmission in the market, best tires you can buy. Besides best stereo in the world and being the 5th fastest car around the Nurburgring for 110,000, it has an ok interior

[SpeedDemonS7]

@JohnDPearson90 theres so much here i want to agree and disagree over but i just dont care any more....too many fanboys wore me down....

[HPSLUT500]

@SpeedDemonS7 Ignorence is bliss. Pretty sad when a Z06 with suspension from yor34 ford beats the best Ferrari aropund a race track

[SpeedDemonS7]

@HPSLUT500 it has everything to do with personal preference.. not ignorance..its a badass car no doubt and it was fun,however i didn't like the way its built and the level of quality plain and simple...everyone is all twisted on my opinion ..ive owned a z06......dont miss it.. sorry

[drz400ccus]

pushing the technology envelope ? really ? with stickers and flat black paint. chevy is laughable, yet again. lame.

[tuugfo]

@drz400ccus it rapes cars 3x the price, id take this vette over any car ever made

[M3BUMERM3]

red calipers and gay change the color

[LachupacabraRO]

what a comercial crap.......

[LogoRifle]

I like that "custom" decal *cough* sticker on the side, it shows you how much work they actually put into the car... hondas are made for stickers, not corvettes... So they pretty much just painted it black and called it a "special" edition? Lame... Why not just buy a black Z06 and twin turbo that bitch?

[MrPrabs80]

@moosepok at last an honest thought...

[enigmaPL]

@moosepok no actually human beings with a brain disliked this video... OH MY they took their corvette line up, and added their racing technology into it, such as suspension you can adjust with a button, red calipers, and black paint!! such technology has never been fathomed in the rest of the world!! how much are they going to overprice this 'special' edition to sell the exact same car to the public for much more money?

just lol, im just here for a good laugh at their speeches given

[flawns]

did corvette finally fixed their fucking seats? or did they just do it because its a special edition?

[reyesorozco]

holy shet :O

[MetalSanke]

GTR fanboys can frig off.

[sportbilen]

I think they should have celebrated by making the front air vent to an actual hole with a function.

[trx450r38]

@sportbilen it is an actual working vent!

[sportbilen]

@trx450r38 What?! I was absolutely sure it wasn´t! I have to take a closer look. I hate fake vents, it doesnt seem like all US manufacturers do.

[trx450r38]

@sportbilen its a supercar. its where the air filter is. thats y it only on the grand sport, z06, zr1, and not the regular corvette for air intake

[tuugfo]

@sportbilen retard it is a function on the regular Z06, stop acting like you kno about cars, its a gill it looks like its fake but it works

[sportbilen]

@tuugfo Big boy, did you miss today´s breakfast? Breath easy. So you mean it looks closed until it needs air, then it opens up?

[kialip]

yea yea....push the technology further and further with leaf springs. great looking car through

[tuugfo]

@kialip all that is proven technology, and the leaf springs are actually more expensive then coilovers, and the leaf spring goes from one wheel to the other, and it beats lambos and ferraris, at 3x less the price
