/\. I want this to be true...

...However, I sadly fear this is more accurate.

If there’s a next gen camaro, it’ll have to be hybrid to start with the preplanning done for it to go full electric a few years later on the same chassis. Even with platform sharing, its a big risk with cars losing popularity to cuvs. Can gm have two low volume “halo” sports cars and still make enough $$ to justify both? Even if the camaro would be profitable in the above scenario, it wouldn’t be more profitable than a cuv electric hybrid vehicle and gm has to allocate resources to maximize $$$. (And this is how a similar convo probably went at ford which led to the mustang electric cuv).

They might be looking for new jobs soon. :rofl2:

Glad no one got hurt for their actions. :shakes head:

C8 Z06 Flat plane crank engine sounds so sick!!!

Now I'm wondering... Should I shoot for a Z06? The Z06 suspension is always pretty amazing as well

I wonder what the cost would be?

Car sounds great at the Rolex 24 of Daytona, completely different sound

There was an article the other day where the wheels and tires was stolen off a 2020 Vette. The car was sitting 4 miles from GM headquarters in Detroit. The car didn't have a manufacturer licence plate on it. No one knows who owns the Vette. When the newspaper called GM on it. They had no comment. The picture showed a black Vette with no wheels and tires sitting on blocks. :rofl2:

So much for getting the carbon fiber package. Cancelled.

Maybe it was target advertising for a new niche consumer market for those who like to put vehicles on blocks in their front yards?

A true enthusiast would have never wasted his time writing this trash.

Jalopnik and similar sites literally post trash out their ***. I mean I guess us here are forums are suspect to doing the same, but those sites are trying to pass as news sites of sorts.

So much speculation over a a car that hasn't really hit the road yet. It was an exciting reveal, no doubt, though.

Wow.... this car is awesome. Surprised they chose the tires I use as a base tire. The ps3+as are so good. I dont feel the need for a summer tire. And I get an extra 3 months of usage. Lol.

This is a kool story about the C8 development.

A few of them landed here last week.
I would assume purchasers will take delivery in the next few days.
Looking forward to first person reviews soon.

Let the games begin. Ruin a perfectly good car treating it like a shitebag Camaro and not the sophisticated machine it is lol :)

serial 000001 dropped off in NC just a while ago. Rick Hendrick is the owner.

Hendrick owns and has owned many of the first production vettes and has auctioned them off for charity and then repurchased them :tup:
He’s a very generous man

*looks at investments*

Muh Corvette

:crying:

Glad to see they are practicing social distancing (sarcasm), just to get a photo of a car!

Saw a white one Sunday. Followed it to Starbucks, lol. Had passenger window down while the order was placed. I told the pretty young blonde driving it was a gorgeous car. She just picked it up last week. Traded her 2019 ZR1 in for it....

Corvette is already talking 2021 changes.

This guy just took delivery of his beautiful new c8 just to crash it minutes later Lol.

Good on-track video with a 911 GT3 RS



Not saying either driver was brilliant or driving to the car's limit, but it shows that the C8 is no slouch.

On paper, they should be fairly close on track...

Cant focus on anything other than the ugly steering wheel

The interior is fantastic, reminds me of a modern FD3S cockpit, does look like a fighter jet, I actually like the steering wheel reminds of an F1 steering wheel. C8 kept up with GT3 costing 3x times as much, impressive.

Not sure how hard the Porsche was trying. If he had a GPS onboard he might have found an apex or two! Certainly, he did not appear to use the full effect of the brakes on that car.

The video description made it clear that this was not a race or head-to-head comparison. That said, the Vette performed well, and did not seem to exhibit any issues on track (mechanically or in terms of grip or braking - admittedly, I didn't watch the whole thing - just bits of it). It looked very competent out there, though.

I'm not going to come to any conclusions on this battle until i see someone like Randy Pobst drive both.

I've ran down Z06s, M3s, GTRs, and other stuff on the track, but got the doors blown off by a S2000

^ This.
Preferably a driver who hasn't already made up his mind before hand (or had the people sponsoring the test do it for him).

Ditto on the experiences. I've chased down and passed a GT3-RS, and been lapped by others. You cannot tell unless you know the driver.

Those stealthy well trained drivers in 'slower cars' like a Lotus Elise/S2000 do make others look somewhat 'amateur' at times. Have certainly endured that myself!!

Training is amazing!

Once again, I can't focus on anything except the the steering wheel. The interior could be covered in gold for all I care. The steering wheel reminds me of a giant full diaper from the back.

Is that Mirror digital? I'm still trying to find something that clear for the Z

I don’t think digital mirror are legal in the us yet

Got this win out here in Daytona, brother. I don't want to hear lip from you European "sports car" snobs. GM is about to take back that GTLM class title in the WT Sports Car Championship. You haven't seen what this middle engine technology can do.

2022 corvette z06

The flat plane crank sounds like a McLaren or Koenigsegg. Krazy!!!

I wonder how much?
This car seems to be getting way more treatments than past Z06's. Must come with a heavy price tag?

Haters gonna Hate! Lol.
The corvette is not being obliterated. But for 60k n/a. Its doing a good job. Let's see what happens with that Zed 06

Impressive

Interesting figures. Confirms what I expected: the C8 will squash other pony car sales and cut into Porsche sales. I wouldn't be surprised if it also affects McLaren sales.

Truly the democratization of the supercar.

The only downside is that the C8 may lose its luster when becoming more common. Plus there's there's the traditional Corvette enthusiast crowd -- who wear wifebeaters when attending the Saturday Coffee and Cars meet up.
