Ya I saw it and almost fainted.
500 Hp not enough for you? - LOLI'm hoping that they release the "Z06" variant, or something like that at the start of the production run. Not just the "base" model..... Unfortunately, I think they'll follow their typical base......Z06.........ZR1 (or equivalent)........pattern, which means several years until I'm actually interested in purchasing the car
Nope. Viper = 640 Vette = 650 I'm not downsizing. Funny thing. I never thought 650/640 wouldn't be enough.....after a while.. you want more.....500 Hp not enough for you? - LOL
Not sure I want to go flying with you - LOL!!! My vette scares the sheet out of me sometimes. I am amazed how quickly I get up to 150KMh!!! And handles beautiful going into curves - awesome - love it. I have a bit of a heavy foot - so, if I had more HP I might really scare myself.Started with Honda S2000 in 2007 at 240hp. Kept that and bought a 2008 Subaru WRX STi hatch at 305hp. Modified it up to just under 400hp. Bought 2013 Viper in 2015 at 640hp. Then '17 Z06 Vette in 2017 at 650hp. There's a trend.................... I still love to drive the S2000 and the Subie, but when I put my foot down, I realize I'm not in the Viper/Vette. Very dissatisfying. I can't imagine spending what I believe to be somewhere in the neighbourhood of $110K-$150K on the C8 to be dissatisfied.....................I want it to scare the s##t out of me.......If it doesn't do that, it doesn't have enough power and I've just wasted a lot of $$$$$$$$$
... it was suggested that a further change would be to eliminate the French flag within the emblem ...replace it is a “stylized Z” as in the old TV show Zora
Don't worry about being politically correct - the FDL should not be on the emblem anyway - right? Who cares , I sure don't - this is Canada Not France - LOL.I am very sorry if my post came off as disrespectful. That was never my intent. I was trying to instead honor the primary force behind the the Corvette, certainly the impetus behind the mid engine Corvette design/early prototypes, e.g., Zora Arkus-Duntov. How about instead, we retain the fleur-de-lis, and substitute the word “ZORA” for the bow tie.
