2020 corvette so powerful. It's bending the chassis!!

The vette has truly become a supercar.
Seating position, stance, power, feedback is decent for e power steering.
It's just a Rear wheel drive beast.
Now the base car is getting bumped up to 500hp.

Fuckin nuts. I'm excited and ready to give them my money!!! The Camaro is almost a marvel of a muscle car. The vette is just bananas.

Don't believe everything you read. LOL I have great sources too.

This is not new...

Anyone who has put 700 hp up - into a production door car - will eventally notice cracks/buckling in the B pillar area, rear window area and a warp in the floor.

Drag racers have been fighting this for decades, in door cars.

"The twist in back was enough to fracture the glass hatch covering the engine,"

I love it!!!!!

Which confirms mid engine - they don't really say so in the article and despite rumours (which have been around for over a decade) I don't recall it ever being confirmed by GM. I probably just missed that.

Anyway, if it has enough power to destroy itself, and electrical problems (read to the end of the article), then it can truly call itself a supercar.

Just when you thought it was safe to go to a Cars & Coffee again! Maybe the Mustangs will take them out before they leave the parking lot???

Sorry, but why would this impress anyone?

Because sometimes it's cool when twist breaks glass.

Schadenfreude?

i'm just thinking it's gonna be pushed to a 2021 model.

it's march (almost april) and they havent shown it yet but as a 2020 that means they should be available in august.

then again its a vette and every AARP card holder buys one so i guess they dont need long to market it.

Please share ... What have you heard?

I'm 5 years from AARP. Lol. But I get carded for liquor still. The joys of melanin. Lol. That said. This gen of vette has more young buyers than ever before . I don't think that stereotype holds true this gen. I see a lot of young dudes in C7 vettes

i thought you were gonna say "the joys of being Asian"


and absolutely its geared to younger buyers but it's still fun to make the jokes lol also, AARP min age is only 50 soooo idk if that joke works well anymore.

my dad is still holding off on picking his next toy until he sees the C8. he's had a ton of vettes and is a vette guy but had me and def regretted it :bowrofl:

The electrical problems, and now this. Twisting of the frame. Something tells me to stay away from the first 2 models years of this car. Poor design with lots of bugs. They been working on this design for how long and just discovering these issues? :facepalm:

I have a friend that has had several Vettes. He says never buy the first year of any generation Vette.

I got a few friends that have/had Vette's. Remembering on what they said over the years. Yeah, the first year or two have problems. One guy I worked with bought a first year C7. He has questioned himself a few times of why he bought. He's had a few problems with it.
