Dr. Pomade Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 They mentioned that some may weigh less than 3000lbs. High five for power-to-weight ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Testing how well it does donuts In the snow? Might be testing a new traction control. I'd almost say they might be testing an AWD system, but I don't see axle nuts on the front wheels. Headlights are more Ferrari-like. Profile looks much the same; it might still be mostly mule.

Trouble Maker Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Testing how well it does donuts In the snow? Probably every car put out now is tested in every imaginable (reasonable) condition, situation. Just because it doesn't make sense doesn't mean a customer isn't going to drive it that way. And yes, that car will have ESC (including traction control), it's mandatory on every car 2012 and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Might be testing a new traction control. I'd almost say they might be testing an AWD system, but I don't see axle nuts on the front wheels. Headlights are more Ferrari-like. Profile looks much the same; it might still be mostly mule. ALL cars go to winter test. ABS, TCS, and ESC all need tuning on snow and ice, plus the powertrain calibators will take cold trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Doesn't look like they drastically changed the body styling. Should be promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasser-Hanbali Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hopefully it has a nice interior to match the nice body lines of current Gen Corvettes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 pretty impressive that the '97 layout is still being used in the C7. rear lower control arms are the same so its more along the lines of C5.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FyrhzrdGT Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Is the 7 speed a true manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Is the 7 speed a true manual? most likely. it is in the newer porsches. seems odd to have 7 forward gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FyrhzrdGT Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I haven't driven a Porsche that new I guess I haven't seem that yet. It's only one extra gear but it seems like at that point rowing 7 gears would be a lot slower than some kind of dsg/dual clutch deal.
