Destructo Report post Posted August 28, 2020 According to Motor Trend the new Corvette Z06 will have a naturally-aspirated V8 that screams up to 9,000 RPM. Color me interested to see how this one comes out because I love this! https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-chevrolet-corvette-z06-engine/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctaM3 Report post Posted August 28, 2020 It will be a real contender but I am still surprised that Chevy would have developed different drivetrains that are so much different given development costs. Are they counting on selling more Z06s than the base C8. That said, would you consider the C8 a supercar? How about this proposed Z06?

Are they counting on selling more Z06s than the base C8. That said, would you consider the C8 a supercar? How about this proposed Z06? With GM's goal of going full electric, I'm not surprised. It may be a way to defray some of the development problems by limited release and development on the chassis. That being said, I'd speculate the C8 Z06 will be considered a performance car, much like the Porsche GT3RS, no one calls it a supercar, but it's a scalpel on track and a real drivers car. The ZR1 and ZORA will end up being the contenders to be considered supercars with that amount of horsepower (800+ and 1000hp respectively) and technology. Time will tell, but it'll be interesting to see how the Corvette grows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHaynes772 Report post Posted November 3, 2021 So what's everyone think now that the info's out there? Ive got deposits at 4 dealerships so we'll see how quick I can get one. 3 dealerships for MSRP and 1 dealership for $10k over MSRP. Can't decide how I'll build it yet...
