Thread: Corvette C8 - Finally a mid-engined Corvette

  1. #51
    According to a friend who ordered it, it provides the same downforce as the low Z51 wing but with less drag. The car I drove had the standard Z51 winglet.

    I just want to say that the more of these that I see out on the road, the uglier that I think that they are.

    I just want to say that the more of these that are sold, the more likely I am to find the right car to buy as a trade-in. Which, going by build numbers, what I'm looking for may have only been made approximately 65 times out of the almost 200,000 total C7s produced.

    Z06 Specs released...wow. 670hp from a Naturally Aspirated V8. To compare, the McLaren F1 had ~620hp from a NA V12. Lots of other big upgrades as well from the base model

    I dunno, I kinda like vanilla...

    It's not something that I'd drool over, but they will definitely turn my head when I see them on the street. 1st time I saw one of them in RL from far away, I thought it's some new Ferrari or something...

    Tech spec reminds me of a Ferrari 458. Pretty cool that you can still get a high-revving nat-asp V8 supercar brand new in 2022.

    458 is definitely one of my favorite Ferraris because of its high revving engine and its sound, but I think this new Corvette could probably beat that Ferrari on track?

    If I were Jay Leno rich, I'd definitely collect both cars..., but since I'm not Jay Leno, I'll just have to settle with my S2000.

    Thank God for Honda for building an affordable sports car that revs like a supercar. I'm just a sucker for high revving engines... maybe I should learn to ride a bike...
