When you are racing in Mexico you might want the wing for when you slam on the brakes.
Or when you are at Road America, or some other track.
I want the Wing.
Not digging the snowflake wheels the more I see them. I'm sure the widebody Z06/ZR1 models will make this stingray look shitty.
I'm talking more about the one in the background. Orange and black looks so right on this car.
2020 Corvette Performance Numbers Are Officially Fastest Ever
The 2020 Chevy Corvette packs lots of go-fast technology, including an overhauled engine and a smart transmission.

and i'm the opposite. i like the trident spokes better than the 5 spoke black ones.
but that may change once i see the car in person, but i doubt it.
How the Mid-Engine Corvette Helped Chevy Make a Better Small Block
We went to GM's racing headquarters in Pontiac, Michigan to learn all about the C8 Corvette's LT2 V-8, and how it improves on the legendary small block.
So about those chassis dyno numbers. HAHAHAHAHAHA GM guys wanted to believe so HARD!

At least they followed up with Vbox data and came up with numbers that are more realistic. They post on that part.
Those numbers are not shocking as they in line with what GM rates the motor at. As well as the weight and trap speed in the 1/4 mile testing people had done.
C8 Corvette Dyno Test Follow-Up: What Really Happened
During its last day in our care, we put the C8 Corvette on a dynamometer and got some eye-opening results.

Sadly not, VBox data is saying around 395whp. That to me is too low. But it could also be the exact same issues as the too high reading before. Some variable not set correctly skewing the results.
My friend was all over those inflated numbers. Going on an on about how the LT2 is the immaculate conception with an LS1 as the mother.
I never believed the numbers. They were a statistical anomaly.
And in today's WTF news. No way this think makes 600+ bhp or even 565. I can buy it makes a bit over 500 but come on...
2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Dyno Test: How Much Power Does It Really Make? - Motor Trend
On the other side of the window, a red 2020 Chevrolet Corvette is strapped to the dyno with its rear wheels spinning very, very fast.
Also I read the comments about under steer. Apparently Harlan Charles has already said GM will provide alignment specs for racing to eliminate the under steer.
Wat?
