Eve nesto ...na slicna tema.
http://www.autoweek.com/article/20110810/CARREVIEWS/110809871Even with a base price of about $110,000, the 2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is a performance bargain.
Its 638 hp puts it right up there with some serious European hardware costing considerably more. Appropriately, the ZR1 is also loaded with trick high-performance technology such as dry-sump lubrication, magnetic ride control, launch control and ceramic brakes.This is a little ironic, because
the Corvette is now surprisingly civil in everyday driving situations. The dual-range suspension settings allow tolerably compliant responses over bumps and ridges, the drivetrain is adequately isolated, and the tight composite body refrains from creaking. Moreover, the clutch is easy to use and the shifter is fluid and accurate. In terms of overall refinement, the Vette has come a long way.In ZR1 trim, the car's interior goes some way to justify the steep price tag. The leather-covered seats, shifter and steering wheel provide a lush interface between driver and car, while a comprehensive list of luxury equipment items stud the internal landscape.
But under all of that the archetypal American sports car remains, with a brawny, big engine and rear-wheel drive, now tuned and honed to a fast Nürburgring-lapping balance. A good driver will extract remarkable virtuosity from the ZR1--just take a look at the YouTube Nordschleife lap--but most of the likely owners will barely scratch the surface. That's their privilege.
The rest of us are simply grateful for the ride.Corvette ne e kola za Justin Bieber.
