    Yes but inspite of all that smoke, none was originating with it's front tires ...his front tries don't get all the excessive wear that the TT's front tires do... one more reason to buy a vette..

    I'd rather have excessive front tire wear than explosive engine failure any day.

    The narrator said the Corvette was running "spray", which is Nitrous Oxide injection. If you over do the nitrous it's easy to get an explosion!!

    You are correct...note to self...cancel that Z06 order and keep your new TT with now 2500 glorious kilomters on it. I almost fell for it...tire wear ain't everything ..thanks Trip I needed that

    Hey guys, why don't we make a separate corvette forum since so many like this car, so in that way we will keep clean the Porsche forums! There we can appreciate or insult and argue as much as we like about what is better! but common this is a Porsche forum!!!

    No, we have the sports car board for that. Besides, this board is mainly devoted to european sports cars, while the sports car board caters to any other tastes.

    I agree 100%. Not sure why I don't care what kind of car it is, it is sad to see.
