I wonder if they figured out how to dampen the vibration from that flat plane crank. High reving sob, but god damn it will rattle that Vette apart.Yup. Flat plane crank and what, 8600 RPM? Gonna be an amazing car

2023 C8 Corvette Z06: Here’s What We Know & Expect
The reveal will take place on Tuesday, October 26.gmauthority.com
This will actually be fastFlat plane crank always followers never leaders
Yup, the mustang is tooThis will actually be fast
The GT350 is a nice car but I wouldn’t call it fast, base model 5.0s are faster.Yup, the mustang is too
Straight line... Yes, they are. I can eat up 5.0s for lunch and spray them out faster than the china buffet down the poop shoot in the twisties.The GT350 is a nice car but I wouldn’t call it fast, base model 5.0s are faster.
I don’t think the flat plane crank has anything to do with the handling. It does sound nice though, I would love to daily oneStraight line... Yes, they are. I can eat up 5.0s for lunch and spray them out faster than the china buffet down the poop shoot in the twisties.
Fuck, there better be better be deals on these by my 30th birthday.
You just need to know where to look, there are dealers taking allocations for C8Zs at MSRP. People can ask what they want but C8s aren’t selling for 115k used and they haven’t been for a while.When do you turn 20?
I have been looking at 2018-20 Camaro ZL1's and there still freaking crazy high. 65+++...lol
People are asking 115k for used c8's. The world has still lost its mind and I'm not sure when that's going away.
TruthThe GT350 is a nice car but I wouldn’t call it fast, base model 5.0s are faster.
It won’t go away till the EIDL money and forgivable PPP windfalls have all been spent. Everyone is sitting on piles of cash, EIDL loans at 4% with 30 year repayment schedules like a mortgage. Everyone is a cash buyer all at the same time.When do you turn 20?

Will it have a manual transmission in it?
If you can buy one at msrp you should there is probably 30K+ of profit in that deal if you get an early model.You just need to know where to look, there are dealers taking allocations for C8Zs at MSRP.

CT is right. I am going backwards, looking for a C5 (track car) or maybe C7. Prices are insane. I am out.
Dealers I talked to had crazy markups on regular C8's. I just got tired of it and walked.
I am not in a hurry. Gonna wait it out. Maybe pick a C8 couple years from now when things cool off a bit.
I know. Looking for a trailer queen. If you hear anything out there lemme know.A c5 as a fun/track car is the best deal there is today.
The GS, ZR1, and Zora will probably all be released by the time I’m 30 so I should be fine lolLol. Try for a c7 Z06 or a base c8.
What percentage do you believe is between net and msrp?If you can buy one at msrp you should there is probably 30K+ of profit in that deal if you get an early model.
Toyota rav 4's are going for 5k over sticker so if you are finding c8's you know where to look or have some good friends.
Look up Whitmoyer Auto Group, the only sell for MSRP. I had my dad contact them about a C8Z a month or so ago, $1,000 deposit to be put on the “list”.If you can buy one at msrp you should there is probably 30K+ of profit in that deal if you get an early model.

I have a 2015 ZL1 for sale for half of that price.When do you turn 20?

I have a C5 and a C3. Been thinking about selling both and getting a C7 but prices have sky rocketed so going to just keep both and do some mods.CT is right. I am going backwards, looking for a C5 (track car) or maybe C7. Prices are insane. I am out.

Only question will be durability of this new motor?
The auto may be faster but nothing more fun than rowing a manualWas never a fan of the 5th gens.
Would be looking for a low mile 2019+ ZL1. Part of me says get a manual but the autos are so much better/faster it would be a tough call.
Need to find a dealer in utah so when i trade in get to subtract my 42k mustang trade in from the sales tax.
I hace a 2020 2SS 1LE (brembos, recaros, all the track upgrades, tires, etc) that I am considering selling, 800 miles, 6 speed,You just need to know where to look, there are dealers taking allocations for C8Zs at MSRP.

Took it over the sierras a month ago and it is such a blast to drive.
My only complaint with the car is visibility. You sit low and windows are short, A pillars are huge and tear visibility sucks. I like my Corvette much better.

i imagine you make a couple grand trading it in with the deal you got from Jason.
I'ts been run in the C8r cars since 2019 with good luck but yeah the days of a simple 500hp bullet proof boat anchor are gone. (rightfully so for what they are trying to do)
Personally i would have proffered the 650hp LT4 but i'm not who they are going after.
That could be all you...
