I promise you I know how to floor the go pedal lol.
Sorry, the Emira weighs closer to 3,125 lbs. My rep told me it’s 50 lbs lighter than the Evora GT (3,175 lbs) during my test drive. So we’re looking at 7.5 lbs/hp vs 7.8 lbs/hp. Probably why I didn’t feel an appreciable difference when...
C8 is 495hp pushing ~3700 lbs while the Emira is 400hp pushing ~3000 lbs. They’re both roughly 7.5 lb/hp.
Real world results show the C8 at 3.0s 0-60 and 11.2s 1/4 mile. The Evora GT (used for comparison since no Emira test numbers yet) is 3.9s 0-60 and 12.2s 1/4 mile.
The C8’s advantage is...
I should clarify this was based on accelerating from 20mph. Might be different from a stand still. I didn’t try accelerating in either car from a stop.
Engine - the Emira felt every bit as fast as the Evora GT and the C8. You don't get quite the push of a spooled turbo but there is a kick around 3k rpm then a linear rush to redline. I would agree with others who said it felt like there was more power to be had above redline but there is...
I was able to test drive today through Gator Motorsports in Indianapolis. For reference, I owned a Guilia Ti Sport and switched to a Stelvio Ti Sport. I also drive my wife's Macan on occasion. I've driven the C8 Corvette and Evora GT (auto) recently as well.
Exterior - the demo car was magma...
