Yore counting the 7.3 Godzilla and Chrysler Hemi's in there too I assume? Cause it's an issue with everyone due to lifter suppliers

Definitely.

Fuck gas and pushrod engines. 👎😜

P. S. Have you ever had a hemi engine apart? The pushrod angles are unreal in those things! 😱

This is my parents car, both in their early 70’s. I will probably end up with one too sooner than later after having driven it. Ive been wanting to build something but why after driving this one for a bit. My wife is the one really pushing it. We had their C7 for 6 months while they were moving. It was ok. The C8 is another level.

My buddy has one, drives over in it all the time when we go bar hoppin and I make him park it in my garage. Then we grab the Uber, it is a nice car for sure!

Of note is the size of the back window and lack of visibility....because all the Fords back there won't be approaching anyway so no need to check the mirror for what's behind you.

To each their own - Whats your mid-engine, 500hp aluminum V8, Paddle shifted 195mph mid-engine suggestion for under 70k?
That's just 1 car, nothing like sitting on the side of the 118 with your 3rd blown up 4L60E in 83k miles. I know it was supposed to be an upgrade from the 700R4 but the 700 was way stronger in factory form.

My problem is if I didnt buy the Z06, id never be happy with just the regular base. Id always be wanting that next level, even though I KNOW even the base is plenty bad ass!

That’s the corvette curse, once the wide body variant comes out the base just doesn’t cut it.

P.S. buy the C8Z!🤣

I thought this thread was going to be about YOLO on the boards (John). He was a cool.dude. What every happened to him? I think he had some form of cancer. I hope he is doing well.
