I'm mostly interested in the fueling system that they are using. Probably means there is little hope of slapping the new blower on an existing LT4.

The guy is so full of **** anyways.Ask him how great the overheating last Z06 was when he introduced it a few yrs back.He knew it overheated back then but still pushed it as The Best Track Car Ever.

I find it hard to believe an employee of Tadge status and pay check will downplay a car.

A few things.

That was boring as ****. Looks like in Dubai, they still don't know how to record with their phones. Turn..........phones.........horizontal please. Smh.

And Chevy can they get with the program already? Their announcements are boring as hell and their marketing of their Vette's and Camaro's are horrific at best.

Other than that, this car is gonna **** **** up.

I'm liking everything I see with the ZR1-anxious to see pricing now.

I'm curious how they came to the decision to debut it in the new orange. That's McLaren to me, and aren't all Corvettes red?

??? 458 7:38 Nurb vs C7Z06 7:13? ?... You mean 488?? which is still slower than a CAMARO at almost four times the price?

I'd much rather them underpromise and overdeliver. The Demon was a boring car that didn't justify the hype.
