I'll take a C8 for similar money. Btw, that guys sucks. He call the hood the grille and called the car an Evora at least once. You'd think they'd catch that stuff in editing.

Apparently there's a Corvette dealer selling C8s at MSRP. Just need to get on the 1400+ person wait list. But if you can wait till 2024 to get yours...

I prefer the Evora to the Emira but they are both great.

if it's a toy I'm ok with waiting, as will most in the market for that car, it's not made for the masses so you know what you are getting into.

How soon you forget that the Brits also made the Lucas refrigerators that led to the "The Great Spoilage".

But in all seriousness, have a great bit respect for the cars Colin Chapman inspired. Would love an Evora or even an Elise. But before I get one of them, Lotus 7. (Or to be practical, the existing - with modern drivetrain - Caterham version, the Caterham Seven) Ooooo.

Anything in a Lucas fridge when it loses power for no apparent reason. Old Brit car fact.... er, joke. But substantiated by my buddy who owned a Triumph TR6. One thing after the other... always somethng electrical (Lucas). He had one of those intermittent ignition relays going to the coil/ballast resistor. It would die now and again. He carried a jeweler's "hammer" to hit the ceramic resister and the relay. Ha!

As mentioned in an earlier post a few days ago, Z Car Garage was loaned a Gen 7 Z car for evaluation/testing and I promised to link the forum when available.



Here they are:

Z-Car Blog Test/Evaluation/Testimonials

I'll read the blog at a later date but that video had to be the worst one I've seen to date, they don't even go full throttle in the lower gears.

Aftermarket parts, new front ends, new parts from Nismo. Well and good.

What about the production car itself?

This thread is something like 7 years old and we're still waiting..... haha!
