OK this is official then. C8 will have some self driving aids
On self driving cars (partial self driving) a lane change is automatic if you signal a lane change on stripped lane markers.
Also if you change lanes (stripped lanes) with out signaling the electronics figure you are wandering and steers back or warns you.
if you drift over a solid line it brakes you back into your lane. (one side braking) On MB anyway
Part of the testing going on here!

"lane assist" is the most annoying and potentially dangerous feature ever. On the other forum I inhabit I'd say 95% have it turned off. It can be fooled by tar strips or confusing lane markings.
See the Tesla that drove head on into a concrete divider.
It demands signals even on a deserted road. It tugs at the wheel in a way that reminds me of an interfering wife.

see my post #46 Thanks (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery).

So that brings up the topic..What self driving aids should be built into a modern sports car model to last to 2030 or so..
Auto braking too?
Demographics in play here.

a comparison drag race video to just show the Turbo S moving away fro the camera so we can compare the relative sense of speed and perspective.

I really believe they have created a mid engine car that’s very unique,no mid engine car sounds like that,and that short sweet low end torque is music to my ears.I could play that videos 20 times a day.
Besides ,the information leaks reveal that there are higher reving engines down the pipeline.
There should be something for everyone.

I think the pitch difference is more related to the RPM than the engine size and smaller engines need more RPM so indirectly you're right. I would say turbo before supercharged because a turbo interferes with the exhaust to give a more wimpy sound. It's for sure that the ZR1's supercharger is not interfering with it's exhaust sound

Just did a back to back listen comparing with the car in this video. Interesting difference.

Your video has the engine turning at about 2000 turns and the other(acceleration run video)has it closer to 4000 turns(that’s a small block V8 by the way..)
Your video ,in our world of basterized/enhanced engine sounds...
makes anything possible.
