The Z06 will be the one to have IMO. People make too big a deal out of the HP and TQ numbers. It should be an absolutely atmospheric engine and awesome experience car, assuming they don't have the same problems as Ford's FPC engine. Probably the last of its kind too, with everything going hybrid or full EV.
I suspect in 10 years everyone will be longing for cars like this. |

it's probably going to be a ticking time bomb like the LS7.

As long as it loses the gumpy body lines of the standard C8, I'm in.

Chevrolet's C8 Z06 Caught Sounding Like A Ferrari
It sure seems like Chevrolet is putting the flat-plane crank, dual-overhead cam engine from the Corvette C8.R race car in the mid-engine Corvette Z06. We just received spy video of a C8 Corvette prototype doing some launch control runs at a GM test track, and—aside from being very quick—our first impression is that this Corvette sounds a lot like a Ferrari 458.
This C8 Corvette Z06 Prototype Sounds Like a Ferrari 458 on Launch Control Spy video shows a C8 Z06 prototype testing its launch control—and sounding an awful lot like the flat-plane-crank V-8 in Ferrari's last naturally aspirated mid-engine machine.

The c8 excites me about as much as an Audi R8; there is just something missing. The rear end is atrocious so that doesn't help. But there are probably 150 sports cars I would rather have. And I really liked the c5, c6, and c7. I want to be excited but I just can't be.

Hotly Anticipated Chevy Corvette C8 Z06 Delayed Years
A number of factors—the pandemic, demand for the regular Vette—have pushed the Z06 back. https://www.motortrend.com/news/chev...-delayed-2023/ Quote:

Nah. They have ADM on corvettes and camaros and can’t seem to run their plants for more than two weeks every two months. I think they’re just screwed on the production side.

How can you delay something "by years" that was never officially announced?

Wish I had the lift. It gets hairy out there. It's only a matter of time. That's why I grabbed the 21, Inflation is just going up and up and wayyy uppp. I had two really good offers but I would be out on the tax I paid. If I take an offer I have to trade up. Same with POS Type S I bought..

How about crank up production before making variants instead of letting stealerships charge arms and legs?
GM reminding me of Nvidia right now... |

Um, it’s not just GM doing that it’s damn near every dealer. Supply is low, demand is high. Basic economics would tell you that pricing would increase. I see nothing wrong with this. It’s a non needed luxury item. If you want it, pay more than the next guy to get it. Or, wait for production to catch up and pay msrp.

Funny you mention computer chips, since a shortage of such is exactly what's causing the problem that you're attributing to GM.

It's the same thing Nvidia did with it's Ti launches. "Products don't exist and you can't actually get them anywhere but scalpers? Here, let us release even more boutique products that are more expensive, take production from the already languished MFR of our other offerings, and STILL have them be inaccessible!" Genius. It's intentional. They get to release a higher priced product and shift the already short-supply parts to higher profit margin offerings since they'll never meet demand anyways, but that just makes them sleazeballs. |
