🚘 Automotive The official C8 Corvette thread

[Mook]

Are you the Z06? Sure sounds different.

 

[J-LO]

Ok Christ, I was going to say ?

i was about to give you a whole lot shit mr! lol

Hahaha, I very seldom watch any car auction stuff. The guy talking about the C7 sale either failed to mention it was a charity auction or I missed him saying it.

Wish there was more exhaust sound, but that sure sounds flat plane crank to me. That is very Ferrari sounding.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Sounds like a big flat plane crank V8. I would be surprised if it turns out to be a 5.5L. I say 6.2 or even 7.0 for displacement.

 

[Rent Free]

7.0 would be insane to get a fpc that big cuin!

 

[Lead Pipe]

Yeah, that might be a bit too big. I still say it's over 5.5, the 5.5 rumor has been around forever because of the IMSA class limit. GM likes their displacement and with the Z06 most likely staying NA, I don't see them making a smaller motor.

The Z06 in the C7 is Supercharged

 

[Mook]

He meant staying NA this generation rather than going forced induction route of the C7.

Oh, my bad!

I can tell you the chassis is designed for several variances. It’s easy to be produced as a RHD vehicle for other parts of the world, and the center tunnel is large enough to accommodate AWD/ Electric Motors etc.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Stay was more referring to the C8 Stingray being NA, not the C7 Z. The Z will most likely be going back to NA.

 

[Lead Pipe]

CTF cars are out in full force. Early Feb is targeted for customer cars. Soon the roads will be flooded.

That's an improvement! The C8 wheels are awful, stock Mustang wheels awful. These cars will look so much better with an upgrade.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

You might have a point there.

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Bottom of the attached article, “who do you blame, the thieves or the owner for street parking?”

WTF? Really? It’s the owner’s fault the wheels were stolen? Fuck you car & driver.

 

[Lead Pipe]

Cool to see the C8 in a garage.

 

[Grabber]

That's a really nice Ferrari.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Still don't like the square exhaust tips.
