Something interesting happened. Powertrain guys said 6600 rpm fuel cutoff, but a design engineer slipped and said he had the car pegged at 7000rpm for a video shoot...then stuttered a lot like he realized he said something wrong...lol. These power figures are still up in the air.

2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Too expensive for the payoff. The Vette is more for everyman. The Ford GT was an American exotic. It seems so easy to put the engine in the back but it's a pain in almost everything you do, including servicing and support. The cost increase would cripple the program and turn off your typical buyer. They don't make Ford GT's anymore for no reason...
Today someone posted the first pics I've seen of it in straight silver, like some of the pictures of prototypes above. I thought it looked great.
When you can make a car in straight silver look exciting, your know you've done a good job.

Thanks for all your hard work at the Bash, I have been following as many of your posts as possible.
I have been at the Bash all day trying to learn what I could. You have covered everything I have learned today, you may have already mentioned this and I am sorry if I missed it. I just don't want to start anymore threads, we talked to a Lead designer at the end of the day, and he did tell us there is a ZO6 coming and it should be released around the same time frame as the C6Z was to the C6. He also mentioned it would be a Wide Body. That is all we could get him to say and we tried our best.
Is this inline with any news you may have heard?
Thanks again.

Any details on lift or cD? I am really curious to hear whether they finally decided to just get the lift out of the car.
Thanks for all the updates, great information!

I actually have shot a lot of feature length films as well, when I had a video production company. I've been considering some things lately...
Notice another photo of the square tips thats posted. They wanted those, but weight, cost and difficulty getting consistent even fitment made it get scrapped.

The GM guys did a fine job on the C7 styling. Hopefully it will perform as good as it looks!

RC,
I've learned more about the C7 from your posts over the last couple days than I have learned collectively from both this forum and GM.
Thank you VERY much for taking the time to document the wealth of information and thank you especially for sharing it here with us! Your posts have been great and your efforts are by far some of the best contributions regarding C7 information that any member has shared on the C7 forum!
