Between this, the Supra and Mazda just building an all new inline 6 for sport applications promised by 2025 or sooner. The next generation of sports cars will be rather interesting.
Yup, Maser Alfieri and Alfa 8C, probably GTV as well. Shelby GT500. Tesla Roadster. Lexus RC F Track Edition. Volvo Polestar 1. Porsche Taycan (and another "new" 911 - what else?). All announced - not speculation.

Some very interesting times. Note that you can go out to 2022 or beyond, and see what most car makers are planning - but no new Z in there that I've ever come across!

You're not finding Nissan in car news cuz their news is on droptheballdotcom.


They're too busy with true race car engineering making... STRIPES!!!

I heard the anniversary stripes add 60hp. Watch out now!! LMAO.

Here's a clip of an acceleration. Sounds beastly! Seeing it from the side view so clearly kinda makes it have awkward rear dimensions? I don't know if that's due to the camo or the car itself. Can't wait to see it uncovered and live.

We went to war with the fools in the 18th century for taxation without representation. Now it's banning 2 icons without representation. So not only the Brits are deprived of an ability to defend themself. High taxes and other forms of control. They're banning the highest performing attainable Murrican sports cars right now. The corvette and Camaro. These pansies made higher emissions standards on it's people. Im sure you'll make a bigger difference banning diesel powered 18 wheelers than banning a couple legends... Thanks to these turds known as Parliament. The people can't have what God made natural in our bodies... MUSCLE. I'm sure the oil from frying fish and chips is destroying the ozone layer too you bastuds!! Let's see if these crumpet eating pansies will ban their favorite lunch?

C8 gets LT2 which might get 480 or 500hp. Valving and AFM improvements etc... DCT transmission on deck... I would really love to see this in s next gen camaro in a FM platform. Plus manuals are still popular in camaro culture. Hope the keep that too. I know what the news is saying. And I know what I went thru with loser azz Nisssn to have faith in loser talk coming out of GM. But these features are the final touches to what the vette and camaro need.

These cars are light on their feet and powerful like true sports cars. No matter how you feel about looks aesthetics. The driving experience is truly special. I cant imagine camaro quitting while they're ahead in the performance game.

2 more weeks to find out pricing on this bad boy!

GM wont notice or care LOL -However, it should be noted that in February 2018 we reported Chevrolet sold precisely one car in the UK the month prior. Which one exactly remains unknown. Also important to know is neither the Corvette nor Camaro is converted to right-hand drive for the UK. The Ford Mustang, however, can be had in right-hand drive. Just saying.

In the muscle game. Europeans dont even matter. Mustang's RHD and global platform will hurt the car. Mark my words... Mustang name never left but the went a lot of years being a POS. Ur not saying much. N the mustang is about to be a name for s family of pansy cars .. just saying.

I'm pretty sure the "Stingray" name was dropped for a while, since like the C3, and then only came back with the C7.

I've been having growing fandom of GM lately. Heard the Camaro and Vette divisions have been compete with each other. I'm sure other manufacturers have internal competition, but I mean we're talking about trading blows with a faster SS, then ZO6, then the ZL1, and then the ZR1.

Granted none of that is in the "regular person" budget, but with brands like...Nissan being stagnant, it's way cool.

Not accurate to say always... the c4, c5 and c6 did not carry the stingray name. So they could've chose not to carry it this gen. But they did.
