and to me that gtr exhaust sounds like a diesel truck or tractor with some added pops and bangs but with little character . Here is a clip of the c8 exhaust from outside and it sounds pretty good imho that small block sort of sipping noise: https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.motortrend.com/news/exclusive-hear-watch-c8-corvette-start-rev-launch-w-video/amp/ |

The gtr sound is “sophisticated” because its an Amg GTR and the vette sounds “crude” because its a chevy, i think you definitely belong to the badge club but we’ll agree to disagree.

Hey...I resent that remark!! Although I have let myself go a little too much since our last beach trip. ![]() But seriously, it's always been like that. Love it or hate it, they/we are fiercely loyal about anything said about our car of choice.....and tend to attack rather quickly. I was a die-hard C5Z guy as I loved the FRC design, and while I never blasted the C6 openly like a lot on there when it came out...I never planned to get one. Once I had a few, I was adamant I would forgo the C7 when it first dropped. Now I plan to be buying a C7Z or GrandSport once we find our last dream home since becoming empty nesters. Got to keep the wife happy. I haven't been over there much lately. The demographic has changed. 10 years ago there were some really cool people that would help anyone out....and then you had your outliers like anywhere else. But there isn't a lot of posting from some of the older guys like it used to be.

Some say they got FPC V8. Some say small V6 turbo. Don't know

Here’s a real quick clip of the C8R starting and revving a little bit. This new engine sure loves to rev and sounds ferocious doing it. Guy starting the car is Tommy Milner one of the racing drivers of team Corvette, Tommy has won the 24hr of Le Mans twice( C6R and C7R). Tommy and C8R will likely be added to that list.

I'm not sure why anyone posts sound clips of engines on the internet. They never sound the same in person.

I pretty much posted it to show how fast the plant revs up compared to the C5-C7 engines.

More like the Ferrari 458 GTE race car The C8.R has a slightly deeper tone vs. the 458 more high pitche and almost like the 488. Maybe because both the 488 and C8.R are turbo. Out of all three, I like the 458 the best. Some say it might be a V6 TT but it does not sound like the Ford GT. The C8.R has a much more aggressive sound compared to the more wimpy sounding Ford GT.

Its sort of grasping at straws, logic is that since there is no space for a supercharger in the convertible engine bay, the z06 most likely is fitted with the FPC engine derived from the C8r rather than a supercharged lt4 or developing a new engine. Theory does make sense to me though, probably took millions of dollars to develop a bespoke FPC; why not use it?
