C7 ZR1 vs ZO6 exhaust system
The original question is here.
salcolkat asked:
GM says the 2019 ZR1 is the loudest production car they have ever made. Can you explain the difference between the exhaust system on the Zr1 vs the ZO6 and the reason it is louder.

Centerline Bookmatched Carbon Fiber Design
The original question is here.
skank asked:
It is very exciting to see centerline bookmatched carbon fiber detailing on the exposed CF parts of the ZR1. Having received a private tour of Horacio Pagani's Huayra by Horacio himself I was amazed by the complexity of the process. How is it possible to do this on the ZR1 when it's normally reserved for 2 million dollar plus cars? Can you also give the forum a primer on how it's done and difficulties of the process? Thanks

3D Printing the Corvette
The original question is here.
skank asked:
I'm very interested in Team Corvette's usage of utilizing 3D printing to prototype complex parts before the actual confirmed designs are approved. Formula 1 utilizes 3D printing heavily for prototyping already. How does your team develop new part designs and are they still done with any conventional pattern making processes? The new GM engines look very hi-tech with all sorts of precision cast components and I assume Corvette leading the way will also have these precision standards going forward.
