Even if you do have some insight too, know where the knowledge ends. I could have told folks about the DCT on the GT500 last year (if I didn't value my job), I didn't know a thing about the cross plane crank, pricing, horsepower, release date, production numbers, etc.

Nothing. Literally everything I know I've learned from the forum. Why? Is it because my friends on the engineering team don't trust me? Nooooooo, that's not even remotely the answer. It's because they all like their jobs! And they'd lose them in half a heartbeat if they said anything to me.
Beware of newbies that suddenly show up and say they "know a guy, and he said..." It's probably more useful to pay closer attention to the folks that have a proven history of "predictions". ;-)

This point can't be emphasized enough. It's no secret that I know a lot of the engineers on the Corvette team. Including the guy at the head of the class. And do you know how much I know about the new car?

Zerv did a good job of destroying the credibility of this forum. Allowing trolls like him to do their thing in return for lots of traffic is stupid in the long run. It will be a while before any other media outlet quotes a post from this forum again. I suppose there’s nothing anyone can really do to control such things but it’s indicative of what is acceptable here.

What he posted up months ago specific to the interior appears to be the real deal. Everyone else throwing stones here should post links to the real insider info they have added to make this site the go to for genuine C8 G2.

Whatever. He had one aspect of the interior correct. Big deal. Everything else was BS.

Are ya'll serious? Fawning over and thanking Zerv for stepping up and coming back to post "bye." Like that's somehow noble and shows he wasn't trying to deceive people? The dude was wrong and has made ridiculous unsubstantiated claims...."Oh but his interior was on point." You know who else would've nailed the interior? People driving, testing, and developing, the car, or those that got a sneak peak somehow. But do you see them on the internet blabbing about it?
Here's what's "noble," not sharing information as important as the debut, when "my source" is never wrong. How about not posting on the internet (which is more or less bragging) to random strangers, that you've got inside information from a single source, that could very well jeopardize their position ... Which to be honest if the person is giving out info like that, it's probably high time to reconsider their employment.
The click bait that was generated by Zerv's "inside" information was ridiculous to say the least. And ya, I would say it hurt the credibility of this forum a little bit. Dude outed his source the moment he posted about the interior and the supposed debut. That's a pretty trashy thing to do with someone's trust.

No. He actually had some very specific aspects of the interior spot on. Something that only someone that has actually seen the interior of the car could then create a rudimentary but very close reproduction of. The key elements could not have been just guessed at. The leaked photo's that support the primary elements he had in his rough sketch has been confirmed by several sources as actual "leaked" info...... Unless I missed the thread bashing the leaked photo's and claiming they are complete fakes as well.

Zerv's having a drink and some laughs at A LOT of people's expense.
Even I am shocked at how many seasoned members bought into his "inside track" knowledge. GM has a lid on this tighter than almost anything i've seen non-government related.
I think it's more that everyone WANTED to believe vs actually believed this guy whom seemingly just appeared out of the clouds while refusing to list sources.
I'd just like to see the forum he's reporting back to about his entertaining endeavors.

As "spot on" as any five year old's drawing can be, I guess.

The worst thing CF did was introduce a C8 section, it's full of speculation, bs, lies and pics of a camouflaged test mule, nothing more. No one has any credible info about this mystery car and people who start threads claiming that they have the inside track or info on anything C8 is full of schit, simple.

I don't believe what anyone in here says because no one in here knows schit about the C8, not the engine layout, not the price, not the interior, not the exterior, not anything, but it's so fun to see a bunch of members foaming at the mouth anytime someone posts some new "news" about the C8. The best part is watching people lose their schit when you say <insert OP's post about something here> is nothing but a bunch of bs.

Furthermore I believe that this same person again has shared additional info with him, like pricing and now the unveil. Problem is that his source was not privy to the accurate info. And wasn't Zerv a proponent of some of the other outlandish claims early on? (i.e. Cadillac, FE concurrent with the ME on shared frame, etc...)
Hopefully for Zerv's source, the reveal date was not a 'Canary Trap' meant to expose the source. Some serious spy **** right there!
