Sounds good, not as raspy as the C7 sounded and sure sounded like a DCT shifting on the first 2 that left.

Nice to have the C7 there as a good sound comparison.

That last mid engine to leave hit some npp exhaust and was certainly a dct. If they made a new version slushbox shift that quick at low rpm, they'd be onto something but...likely a DCT for sure.

Interesting, yet at the same time so damn boring....same ol, same ol for how long now.

This is the only video where you can really hear the new twin cam engine well. It's the last car on the video. Definitely not the LT2 engine that's on the other ZORA's that sounds like the C7's. Turn up the volume or headphones are even better.

That makes me wonder if some of the new mules we're seeing are now for the year 2 or 2.5 high-performance model (Z06). ZERV the cad leaker said that a naturally aspirated DOHC V8 wouldn't come until later in the C8's cycle, and I assume that it will replace what we are calling the LT2. I think that the engine in that last car of the caravan is the low-displacement twin-turbo V8.
