I watched a documentary of the BMW M8 GTE racecar last night on Amazon Prime. Was pretty good (but you need the subtitles since most of if is in German). Does anyone know if a similar program is in the works for the C8?

Would be great to see the whole process.

Going from FE to ME on the Vette is such a milestone!!! It would be complete shame to find out GM didn't let somebody document this, in the very least, as "All Corvettes are Red."
I really hope there is a video documentary, but the story even in print should be a great read.

I read somewhere that GM brass was blindsided by "All Corvettes are Red". They had no idea Schefter had such unfettered access to GM. There were strong feelings the book painted GM in a bad light (the truth) and steps were taken to make sure such a book would never again happen. As evidence of the efforts GM took, the only books that came out about C6 where only focused on the car and sounded like glorified sales brochures. Sad as it is, there is no way a truthful, all holds barred book about the development of the ME Vette will ever happen unless it is by former GM employees spilling their guts and their individual experiences and points of view to a writer. Sad for us.

Bunch of guys from the local Elks club said mid engine cars are Cadillacs and the C8 is gonna be split window front engine.


While it would be nice to see GM do such a feature, I just feel like GM is a "dry" company internally. Ford Performance has this big passion to do great things, document it, race, etc. BMW, Porsche...same...GM...Corvette is just another car...a Silverado...I wish they were a more passionate company but, my feeling is no. I know there are some internal that feel that way, but as a company, as a whole...not from what I've observed over a long time.

And were those guys at the club all heavily intoxicated?

Yeah it's a Cadillac.

Remember that Discovery Channel show on the C6 development "Rebuilding an Icon". That was pretty cool. Loved the test driving stuff.

I wish Ford had more passion to release a GT500 in a timely manner. No excuse how long it's taken them to release it.

C'mon man!
Everyone knows they're bringing back Pontiac and the ME is Fiero II

This is what I hope!! I heard that some GM brass was a bit upset about the "All Corvette's are Red" situation, but the C7 was clearly documented in a somewhat similar manner.
It would be a terrible shame if GM doesn't have somebody already in deep with the development team, ready to write.

I own that book, and it's nice eye candy. But lets not pretend that it's anything more than a $50 sales brochure. It's got nothing like the sometimes unflattering inside info and objective detail that "All Corvettes are Red" had. I'd love to find another book like that, even if it was about something as mundane as a Camry.
