🚘 Automotive The official C8 Corvette thread

Daily needs heated fun cars do not as they get little use when it is cold. At least that is how it works in my house.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

Lack of heated seats isn't that bad. If anything cooled seats are more important since these cars would be driven in the summer months.


The all black base interior is kind of bland. Needs some silver, aluminum, or carbon accents to break it up some. If not color inserts here and there. But I guess that is why you have different interior levels.

Shocking virtually no one, the rumor mill is at full speed with news that the Z06 is getting a twin turbo v8 (that we've known about for a long time).

You've heard the rumors and you've seen the leaked CAD drawings. The car world has been speculating about overhead cams and turbochargers and flat-plane cranks in the backs of C8 Corvettes for months now, but we've confirmed with a deep source on the Corvette team that the upcoming C8.R race car and, more crucially, the C8 Corvette Z06 will be powered by a flat-plane-crank twin-turbo dual-overhead-cam V-8.

"Everyone thinks it will be a small block, but it won't be," said our source. "Listen to the race car."

Also, the wing in this rendering is awful.

I think the shocking part is the flat plane crank. Sounds like a bad ass motor if the specs come to life.

 

[Mook]

Didnt the cad drawings however long ago already confirm it was a flat plane?

 

[EmersonHart13]

I also recall that fact.

Yes the wing is terrible. But if it functions well I can get over it because I'm not gonna buy it

 

[Kensington]

I like the wing, but it seems more similar to sports car racing wings, than wings from production cars.

The problem is, all the ford guys. "See, see. Copying ford..." simply because it has a flat plane crank like the Coyote.

Lol no Ford guys are saying that.

Don't lie, how many Coyote's have you been absolutely destroyed by?

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Uh, none!

I just know how these things work. One manufacturer does something and any that follow suit get the "oh, they copied..."

But uh, Ford isn't the first manufacturer to have a FPC engine...

You've never raced a Coyote car? lol

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Also just an FYI, the Coyote doesn't have a flat plane.

 

[Yaj Yak]

the fuck is goin on here

 

[Jeffs FRC]

GM twats complaining about Ford twats that aren't complaining...lol

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Umm, isn't the Voodoo a variant?

And what does it matter whether or not I have or have not?

GM twat schooling the ford twat.

 

[Bub]

This is what TCG has become.

Save us Jeebus.

34 pages??? Geez I've got a lot to read up on.

Yes I guess you could call the Voodoo a variant of the Coyote. I wouldn't go around saying that the Coyote has a FPC though, you might get some puzzling looks.

Because you sound like a bitter HS girl complaining about something that isn't happening...lol. Most Ford guys are praising the shit out of the C8 saying that the gt350 is now completely obsolete. The gt350 is the Mustang that has the Voodoo engine with the FPC btw.

 

[Lead Pipe]

34 pages??? Geez I've got a lot to read up on.

Just order one.

 

[Mr_Roboto]

The FPC shit makes me laugh. Cadillac had one over a century ago. Nothing new under the sun.

 

[Eagle]

Just order one.

Do we know who has ordered one so far?

 

[Spivitz]

Do we know who has ordered one so far?

Two Gentlemen yesterday at Cars and Coffee have theirs on order.
