🚘 Automotive The official C8 Corvette thread

Ok, still don't get the context. ?‍

z06 out yet?

Dyno operator error. Wrong load setting and in AWD mode.




It just amazes me with numbers that far off they would even bother to print the stuff. Lucky Trump didn't tweet about it. #FakeNews! lol

This has been my experience with dyno operators when testing for factory numbers, and especially with Mustang dynos when coast down isn't calibrated correctly, or at all. Though I figured out with Mustang and the dyno operator before publishing ridiculous numbers. It's fine to use the tool as A - B when modifying a car, but for factory accuracy there's much more to the calibration.

Whatever it had, it spanked the 992 carrera s and the gtr nismo around thunderhill raceway, and was within 2 sec of a 600lt. A 300,000$ track car. Not bad if u ask me

 

[P Life]

.... which is probably as fast as a 991.2 gt3.... on track! Just let that marinade for a minute. A base mullet rocking dude can theoretically stick it up a gt3’s corn hole. On track

Soon

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

My buddy lives just outside Detroit and sent me this today, looks like the same one that “crashed”?

 

[Mook]

That one looks blue. Crashed one looked black.

 

[SleeperLS]

I wouldn't care if it made 300hp. The driving numbers are rock solid.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Everyone was waiting for Accelerate Yellow to show up. Rapid Blue and Accelerate Yellow are the only new colors. Here it is. (Screen grab from a video)

The new Corvette has an eight-speed Tremec DCT. We weren't crazy about it in the pre-production C8 we drove, but engineers tell us the final version will be better.

First line:

Ironically, the supply should be just enough to last until new C8s arrive next year.

 

[bikrboy128]

Who's going to buy a c7 when the c8 is so much better

 

[boostedguy05]

last c7 rolled off the line not too long ago. want to say withing the past week.

some people will want the last of the great American front engine RWD corvette to have it sit in a bar and collect dust, hoping in 30, 40, 50 years it will be worth 10x what it msrp'ed for.

 

[nytebyte]

IN for $20K brand new C7's.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yup, throw a huge savings at them and plenty would buy

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

Could be enticed by that idea. Pickup C7 to tide me over while the C8 matures.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

Can’t wait till my buddy gets his. I’ll be going with him to pick it up at the corvette museum.
