Wow.......So much posting from people so confused on what mass production and reality of profit is.........

GM is working on ONE C8, it is ME, and there is no carry over C7. There are NO C7s running around in camo. There is NO front engine future for the Vette.

Do you have anything factual to back this up? There's been leaked component supplier info saying GM has plans to build the C7 through calendar year 2021, so you're already wrong about that. The video at the top of this thread has stills of a C7 in camo, so you're wrong about that too.

If you've got something factual to stand on with this, then please present it. Otherwise you're just speculating like the rest of us.

Could just be covering a refresh to the C7.

That looks like a guy through a wrap on.

Hmmmm.... if it were just a new powertrain it wouldn't be wrapped. Unless it was a leftover C7 mule they got back out for C7.5 powertrain and just didn't bother taking the existing wrap off?

If these are spotted testing in other states it will pretty much be a foregone conclusion the C8 is FE.....and ME is the new Zora.

What I find interesting is that I actually ran a small auto manufacturer, so I'm pretty sure you're reaching on that statement. Instead of spouting out "nuh uh's" like a child, how about you state your position with facts. I've asked you questions you have yet to answer, in various threads. You just keep pounding this drum of calling people stupid and talking about "real profit".

Real profit is in maximizing your engineering into multiple platforms. It's also spreading the cost of development over multiple models, spanning large msrp ranges. Everything you claim to know all about, is contradicting your narrow minded thinking. Your position is: Bowling Green invested over 300 million in a manufacturing plant to build the same 36k cars per year. That investment is larger than the entire budget allotted to develop the C7 platform bud...pretty sure they didn't just put in new epoxy floors.

What do you have to say besides "nuh uh"?

Not that it matters, but I grabbed stills from the video.

The plate looks to be like this one: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/s...2.html#agal_11

Or Texas.
I know for sure Roush has a well guarded place in Naples, FL.

I have this to say " Buwashahahahahahahahahahaha" and that applies to another member in here that claims to know the same "factual" information you have. Bunch of bull ****.

BGA has one assembly line and it will be specialized in the production of the new C8 mid engine Corvette.


All you have is here say as the lawyers would say.................
I work/design/re-design/and TS production lines everyday..... That is my career and I see where GM is going. The C5 to C6 and the C6 to C7 threads are all the proof I need and you should look at.

Hamtramck has "one assembly line" and they build four distinct cars on it. Lacrosse, CT6, Volt and Impala.

BGA can manage two with their fancy new flexible assembly system.

I cant believe you guys cant see what has changed on the c7 test mule yet.. Zoom in and you will see that for 2020 they will have perfectly even body panels. Maybe a a10 that it should have got in 2018+.
