2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray Leaked Ahead Of Debut

[CrookedDink]

I'm not a big fan of the rear either, but to be fair, the lighting in that photo is bad. Better shot of the rear below.

Chevy has 6 variations of wheels to choose from. They are ok, but I am looking forward to seeing some aftermarket wheels/rims.

the factory wheels are turds with the black tridents being the best of the bunch. im ordering aftermarket wheels as soon as i get mine.

Nice strawman, point to where I implied or insinuated that they would never be modified... Such a dumb thing to say. I have buddies with Calvo TT Vipers, 1300+ hp C7s, VF SC Huracans, etc... I'm well aware of the the wide and wonderful world of modding...

All I said is that I want to see the tests before I believe Chevy marketing...

Dumb is trying to compare a 0-60 mph time down to the few 10ths of a second considering the variables that can skew the 0-60 times +/- just one, or even two tenths of a second.

If the street is dirty, or the track prep is hot or cold. Tire pressure aired down on DOT street drag radials etc...

And if getting technical the same exact car in a different state say Colorado versus Florida there will be a difference in clocked time/testing.

Either way it doesn't matter what Chevy marketing says the car will do because if it isn't fast enough for the owner it can be modified to go faster.

I agree

im ordering aftermarket wheels as soon as i get mine.

Good

You getting the base? The C8Z should come 1 year later dude. Just wait for that.

I will get the GS model or whatever they end up calling it. Still happy to keep my C7 for another couple years.

[iwant2beswole]

starts at less than 60k?


these things are going to be everywhere lol

All fire!!!

You seriously think that back end is legit? The exhaust looks terrible, the tail lights mimic the camaro and the license plate area is way too big. The rest isnt bad even though the front is NSX-ish.

All in all, they knocked it out of the park as far as performance, but the rear end is killing me.

I can get used to it, just as i got used to the C7 rear end which isn't perfect as well.

The big plate opening is for european plates. Tail lights look the same except the "arrows" are pointing outward instead of drooping down and around?

It's a love or hate type of design. I like it. And the tail lights and license plate area (where my plate will go anyway) won't stop me from owning probably the best corvette to date.

I'm going for the C8 z06 anyway so it's going to look even better than the base.

All are bad-ass. Thanks for posting. Really makes the car.

yup good wheels and flushed out stance makes a big difference

also it's pretty aamzing how hard GM fukked up with the Z51 wing. Look how clean the base non-z51 looks irl

Good point. Does look nice and clean without the wing.

[Avalanche3319]

Interesting point of view. I see it without the wing and feel like something is missing. A sport car of this caliber needs a wing, IMO.

[tunafishha]

dayum brahs. i didnt kno you can get a ferrari for 60k. Just imagine all the poocy you will git.

it kinda reminds me of the goat

[thenamenottaken]

I was thinking closer to a Noble





Also, a rear (maybe not as radical) that more resembles the C8-R might be a better way to go if you want a wing.

[10w30]

Ah, I see, you're just wanting to argue for the sake of arguing. Got it, now your idiotic strawman makes sense.

But I'm not arguing or grasping at straws.

What is so hard to believe about a mid engine car with 495+ horsepower and 470+ lb ft of torque going through an electronic assisted Tremec DCT transmission running the performance numbers that Chevy stated. Just because McLaren and Ferrari can't do it doesn't mean Chevy can't either. What Chevy has that McLaren and Ferrari don't is engine displacement and torque down low to get the car moving from a dead stop faster.

And I highly doubt Chevy would over hype the performance specs on a car like this when there just isn't any need to.

[rectifryer]

They don't. And I don't know why he's hung up about a few tenths of a second. Base model C8 vette 0-60mph is 3.xx seconds and performance trim Z06/ZR1 0-60mph is 2.xx.

He's also only thinking about OEM stock performance numbers as if this new generation vette will never be modified by anyone, ever.

Not trying to derail the thread but STEEDA has a 10r80 trans natural aspirated mustang with a stock engine.

Only real power adder is a ported cobra jet intake manifold. The rest are supporting modifications: C85 gas, tuned ECU, carbon fiber driveshaft, transbrake, exhaust, torque converter, sticky tires, full drag suspension. Some weight reduction, rear seat delete I think but that's mostly it. Car "only" makes 400ish horsepower to the wheels and runs low 10's @ 130+ MPH in the 1/4 mile.

Yes, tires + tune + weight reduction, etc and S550s are low 11s to high 10s cars. Its bonkers . I assume it's the same for the camaros but I don't know.

However, I'd rather have a car that can do those times in track form, not strip form. The C8 might be that and that's insanity.

Just think about it, when the C8 depreciates in 10 years to $20k , anyone will be able to have that performance.

[Mark1T]

I remember last year on an auto website where one of the benchmarks for the C8 was the Porsche 911 Turbo S. My favorite car ever by the way.

I am sure the C8 team learned how to put more weight in the rear (duh) to put all that power down instead of spinning tires. So, performance will be greatly improved.

I love this thread

dont get me wrong, i think it looks pretty damn good.

but the top down rear view is what you would actually see in person.

a lot of cars look better if you take pictures at low/bottom-up angles, but those viewing angles are almost never seen IRL.

remember that and lighting and angles can make a 4/10 broad look like a 8/10

This new vette is crazy. I don't know if Ford has plans for a mid engine mustang to compete against it or not.

Dodge will have to do something also as they can't sit on the sidelines as the 60k price tag of the new C8 is roughly around the price as a new Challenger Hellcat.

They'll have to make changes to the Challenger Hellcat line and add some type of wedge body mid engine performance model and call it the Challenger Alpha Dog with the 6.2L supercharged Hemi.

Chevy C8 will change everything for all the new generation performance cars coming from Ford and Dodge.

Never want new cars

Want this car

Negged, even if this is sarcasm.

Ppl realize that manufacturers now underrate their HP right? It used to be the opposite but it seems the marketing of "doing more with less" is very appealing and scores them major points with journalists/awards/ext

for instance, for my m3 competition bmw claimed 444hp. Dyno tested bone stock im actually getting slightly more than that, TO THE WHEELS.

This among all the other stuff already mentioned in this thread i wouldnt doubt their claims

[gixxer0.6g]

I'm GMs biggest critic but hot damn, well done GM, well done. If it wouldn't start falling apart right off the assembly line I'd be very interested.

That's pretty much only euros doing that, US manufacturers use crank. Mine is sold as "460" stock and is 415 whp, the ZR1 is "755" but dynos at 655 whp , zl1 is "650" but 560 whp etc
