Meanwhile GM turned the corvette into a mid engine supercar, debuted the most powerful NA V8 in a world where everyone is going small displacement turbo engines, in a world where everyone is shifting into electric, in a time where this is supposed to be all done.

GM is just getting started. And that's only the 2nd variant they released.

With possibly 3 more variants coming.

That clown will be jerking off again each time GM releases another C8 variant LOL

[TrevorM3]

is anyone in here on the list for the C8Z?

From what I've gathered on other forums, the list at large well-known dealers is 1,000+ deep so hopefully those who want one, had an existing relationship or were able to get on lists early.

[flsupraguy]

I'm on the "list" at 3. I hope one of them comes to fruition.

[c1pher]

I am on the list. Hoping this time I don’t have to pull my deposit due to all the first year teething pains.

If your talking roll racing sure the 600LT would slowly creep away due to Aero and weight. From a dig, not happening for the 600LT.

Unless we're talking 720 or 765LT then McLaren is just Mclaren.....

Did you really just write that an SF90 sounds great and an F12 or Aventafor doesn’t? Lol what?

No, the SF90 is actually fast as compared to the F12 and Aventador, not referringto sound at all. All Porsches look the same to most people.

This guy lol. I've never seen someone so ignorantly out of touch with the reality of the icon the Viper was and now is still the platform for phenomenal power potential. We're talking blistering 1400-1600hp builds that dominate events such as TX2K where ships and teams from around the country Duke it out to claim their title. Only thing that can hang with most the Vipers are UGR built Lambos.

Irony of your "dead car" comment is if you can touch a Viper ACR under $200k you're doing good. They're incredibly hot items now that people have opened their ignorant eyeballs such as yours.

I don't care how a car can corner on a track and neither does 99.5% of the consumer market.

And since you feel inclined to keep saying something costs too much....

You're right.... I'd rather own multiple actually fast cars rather than cars that just attempt to look fast. Since you asked though... here's my M8 Gran Coupe stacked above my Demon.

I'll never forget when one of the BMW people asked if I'd even be interested in going into a 21 Porsche 911 Turbo S I told them simply put.... just not appealing enough to me. Fast yes, but still looked like a boring porsche.

Then again.... I do Daily a built 9 sec E85 Ram TRX so what do I know lol.

[c1pher]

I love my 992 Targa 4S and don’t think 911s look boring at all. I think if you look at it from afar, maybe you’d think it’s bland. However, I feel like it’s a nicely made mechanical watch. Can you get a Casio that tells good time? Sure, but the materials and attention to detail are purposely missing.

The Targa is a great example of being distinct and funny you bring that model up as that's one of the only ones I thought looked truly well finished with the contrasted silver pillar.

I have black pillars lol.

I am looking forward to the Z06. I have always wanted one since the C6 version. I’m finally at a point where I can have the C8 version….I think. I think I’ll be waiting about 18 months before it shows up. I’m getting the convertible though.

I love how they're taking not of what Mopar did and create a power hungry market.

The 2019 ZR1 is a fantastic piece of machinery that embarrassed the hell out of the Ford GT, it was essentially an all around great performer just out of the price point for their target audience.

They realized this and have created a great value for what is achieved in the Z06.

With the LT5 being discontinued I truly look forward to seeing what the next boosted motor will be.

The only Chevy product that almost had my impulsive spending was this 1400hp built LME ZL1 Camaro.... https://www.bjmotors.biz/2019-chevrolet-camaro-zl1-c-13739.htm

Someone got a good deal.

[RM7]

So the only thing that impresses you are 1000hp drag racers. Got it.

[Cos270]

I've held my tongue until now, but I'm going to comment as I have first-hand experience with the LT6 engine powering the new Z06. I was a manufacturing engineer for the cylinder head (still work at GM, but on a different program). The complexity of this engine really cannot be overstated, especially when you realize it is being made by a huge company in relatively large numbers. Just on the cylinder head, the porting of the intake and exhaust throats, inlets and FULLY MACHINED combustion chamber is a marvel at this price point. The mechanical valve train is truly a work of art as well. I have never been a big GM guy (only worked at the company a few years) and certainly never a big Corvette fan, but what they've done for the Z06 is truly remarkable.

Think about it this way. What's more impressive to you, something that is designed for a sole intent or purpose. Or a machine that is built with power and versatility and denies the general laws of "why"..... it's all about the "because race car" life.

I absolutely love the guy that took the TRX to the Ring and ran it. Everyone there loved it.... why.... Because Race Car. Removing the speed limiter and putting NT420V street radials totally changes the dynamics and handling. Factory tires are trash.

My favorite road kill of all time was watching the wife laugh her ass off at her husband driving a Ferrari 612 get literally obliterated off the line against an 8k lb dually till about 130mph when his gearing took over. Watching her mock him was priceless, she was a truck slut at heart and he knows it. This was 15yrs ago.... and diesels performance is faster now than then.

You must be talking years ago at Texas 2k. Those lambos now a days are double that HP. 2000 is just basic anymore. Lol. It's crazy. For me, the problem you get into when going 1400 and up is, reliability. My GTR is my happy place. Pretty much beat everything on the road. Not to laggy and tons of torque low!! Has been super reliable as well

[Bimmersandmopars]

Now keep in my that TRX is only 702hp crank/ and about 580hp wheel per dynos and runs a 12.4 1/4. My TRX is one of the fastest in the US and runs a 9.92 1/4 with 1100 crank on E85....

To quote the builder who specializes in Viper and was one of the main techs that operated on the Chrysler team that oversaw the Viper platforms that ran the 24hrs of Lemans and has built many 1500hp Vipers.....

After they did the final data log for the build he calls me and says

"I've rode in man fast vehicles, but this truck is insanely scary fast for what it is".

All flash no gas, and shitty exhaust notes. The exceptions are the new 765LT and SF90. The C8 is a good concept, yet it's all flash and unicorn Shit.

They have traction and a cult following that Ford with the GT500 wish they had.

FCA doesn't try to target a track minded car so they're not in contention.

As for jerking off to cars.... fast trucks are more entertaining and heavy boats on 4 wheels with back seats are my jam..

I see you still don't understand power to weight ratio and dynamics at play.

The fact the M8 runs the ring in 7.2X weighing nearly 5k lbs is flat out fantastic. Drop the the M8 to 3500 and we're talking a major difference.

Straight line..... the M8 still has the advantage.....even being a pig.

Any manufacturer can make a light car faster and turn.... hell look at the tuner Miata scene.

Let me guess... a "super car" is also an LSX swapped RX7.in your book? Lol

Oink oink

bro you need to stop posting

Yeah the event has changed dramatically the more $$$$$$ that's come into it. Back in 2012-2013 I did a ride along with a friend who had one of the first UGR Aventador TT builds.... 2100hp at the wheels. Ran up to 243mph on a test & tune hit and it was fucking scary and mesmerizing all at once.
