2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray Leaked Ahead Of Debut

[1QWIK7]

Lmfao a Miata to a corvette is like what a corvette is to a Ferrari. They are never in the same category. Just like the Miata, It’s the same thing, at the end of the day it’s still a corvette

Like i said when talking about performance, no lol. A miata has never been in competition with a corvette ever. Not on the track, not on the street, never.

Corvettes have always been in competition with ferrari. They race on the track competitively and a C7Z and ZR1 can beat most ferrari's. Stock vs stock.

A miata is at the bottom of the barrel. You should have used a different car to make your argument lol

Looks like ill be trading in my C7 for a stripped down Z in 2022. 85k is a steal. Why bother with a z51 at that point?

Pretty sure it won't be 85. I would say 92-95k starting.

It is going to be a lot of car. This isn't a basic front engine car anymore. Chit is getting real.

GM's first supercar, finally lol

85 does sound low considering you can spec a z51 for 100k. 90 will still be worth it though.

Most of the corvette options aren't worth it IMHO.

Like the only option i wish my C7Z had was the PDR. Other than that, i didn't need/want anything else. It's basically a race car for the street.

If the C8Z started at 100k, i'd still get it. It is just too much car at this point. Like the C7 lineup was amazing. But this C8 potential is really out of this world. People can nitpick the looks of the base C8 all they want, when the z06 is debuted, they'll think differently.

[iifymbro]

Which 911?

Whichever one you can get used for around what you'd pay for a Z06. The GT3 are 120k+ and I would def take one of them over the Z06 but it shouldn't get that expensive

You're talking about a 911 for 85k??

lol dude that means you'll be getting like a 2006 or something.

A lot of the GT3's like you said are 120k+. And yeah if you would spend that much, i probably wouldn't be looking at a z06 too. I'd spend a bit more and get a 911 turbo S.

Corvettes have always been amazing value. Great looks, incredible performance and reliability. That's why people buy them.

GM just stepped it up with the C8 and the later variants which will be even more amazing.

I could get a ~2017 911 GTS lightly used for 85-90k. There was one at the local ferrari dealer near me, was tempting af

Yeah i just saw that just now. Like this whole new C8 chapter is getting better and better.

The LT6 for the z06? And the LT2 hybrid for a grand sport? I don't know about that but i do believe the LT6.

Then the monster LT7 hybrid for 1000hp. Jesus christ. GM really building supercars now lol

I'm getting goosebumps knowing in about 2 years from now, hopefully, a C8 z06 will be at my house.

Sorry i thought you meant GT3's only.

I don't think i could get a 911 unless it was something like a turbo s, or an older GT2 or a used GT3 etc. The GTS only has 450hp. Pretty sure it's amazing, all porsches are really. But going from 700+ to the 4xx hp realm, is a big step down.

That is my goal. (srs)

[Mark1T]

The Z06 is dead to me if it's really flat plane crank. The ZR1 would be the only one I'd consider at that point.

Possible vibration and lower torque of the flat plane crank?

[1QWIK7]

That is my goal. (srs)

Nice! We got dem same goals brah.

Z06's have always been the performance bargain. And even still with getting a corvette. It's the sweet spot for chevy the past 2 decades now.

Like it's a legit supercar now, for possibly under 100k. GM came out swinging!! haha

The best thing, especially in the world we’re living in, it’s made in America.

[1QWIK7]

Agreed. Did you hear that leaked video, it's like 10 seconds long about the possible z06 ripping through the canyons?

I mean i love the way my pushrod LT4 sounds but man, that 5.5 dohc v8 sounds amazing. Like an exotic. Makes sense. Exotic sound, exotic looking car, GM's first supercar begins with the z06.

If you haven't, email rick conti. He's already taking a list for C8 z06 pre-orders. No deposit. But the sooner you get on the list, the sooner you get called when they finally announce it, then it's up to you to make a deposit or just pass.

I think i'm like 49th or so on the list. I did the chit early lol

[Mark1T]

That high pitched shreaking sound from the C8r is obnoxious.

I'd be all about the Zora, if Chevy had a track record with the hybrid system already.

Gotcha. If the ZR1 might be around $130 to $140K, the Zora might be $180 to $200K. I wonder if Chevy might work with another car maker for the hybrid system. Just speculation.

[Mark1T]

Would be cool if they worked with MB to use their AWD system that allows you to put the car into drift mode and go full RWD when you want it.

Agreed, cool. More than likely the AWD will be slightly heavier, but who cares if there's suspension compensation and all that freaking horsepower and torque.

[anonymous]

Is the ZR1 still supposed to be an electric hybrid?

[CrookedDink]

Hopefully the 1000hp model will only achieve that power in a special race mode for the track. seems extremely dangerous and irresponsible to hand that over to just anyone with the $ to buy it.

[Mark1T]

It does, but there are cars that are 1000+hp on the road. Bugatti, Hennessey C8 will have ~1200 and some ultra exotics. For me, I don't have a desire for more than 650hp for a sports car. Pointless. There is always someone faster and I don't race anyway. I like to feel power and pull on the highway, but not going to jail and not going to die that way.

[Holyfenix]

Eh, idk about all that. You can currently buy vettes with over 1k hp for $50k+. I have buddies with UG Huracans (pushing 1300+hp on 109) that are no more or less dangerous than 500hp mustangs, especially with AWD systems.

Side note: When did you switch from Admin to Mod?

[1QWIK7]

Pretty sure the 1000hp model will be NO LESS than 150k. It's going to be a special 1 year model, similar to what the ZR1 was for the C7 generation. It's going to be the holy grail of C8's. The final version. It's like watching a movie and some chit where some team worked hard for a goal and like something bad will happen to them, that they made one final run to assemble something special 1 last time lol. I feel like the corvette after the C8 might not be a corvette anymore. I really feel like if there's a C9 generation, it will be called something else. I think the corvette ends with the C8 generation.

Which is fine, they saved the best for last.

I don't know if Chevy would kill off the Corvette after the C8. I could see it evolving into the C9 looking like the 2012 mid engine Corvette Daytona.

The base model C8 is crazy as is. A 100hp shot of wet nitrous will make these bone stock LT2 engine base model C8 vettes run mid 10's or faster in the 1/4 mile.

Anything over 500hp to the wheels being cranked through a DCT transmission is going to be fast. The C8 Z06 and C8 ZR1 are going to be wicked AF for an off the showroom floor car.

The only reason why i believe they might call the C9 something else, is because V8's are getting phased out. I know back in the day the very first corvette actually started with a 6cyl but that didn't last long at all until they started to stuff V8's in them.

So i believe with the new mandated regulations, V8's are soon going to be replaced by FI 6cyl's or possibly FI 4cyl hybrids, and that can't be called a corvette if it doesn't have a V8.

I think after they made the holy grail of the C8, the zora, the final year, that the C9 will be branched off that name zora and then no more V8's, it'll be hybrid 6 and 4 cyl's for the C9 gen, if there is one.

Is anyone following East Coast Supercharging? Their twin turbo c8 kit is coming along.

so much for chevy bragging that their ECU was uncrackable

Yup. Those guys are local to me. Doug knows his chit.

They always had the fastest vettes on the east coast, or possibly the country every time a new gen/model vette comes out.

[CrookedDink]

Hasnt been cracked AFAIK. These TT kits are mostly for show will be limited to low boost/wastegate pressure until the ECU can be tuned. I am following the Sheepey Racing / TJ Hunt build.
