New C8 footage - kind of cool
This may not be Earth shattering but I thought it was pretty cool. A gentlemen drove along a caravan of 6 C8 Vettes rolling down the highway. They were under camo but kind of cool to see so many out getting some test miles on them I assume.

Which show that the C8 situation is currently on the minds of those very high in GM, which bodes well for those of us who are waiting for the reveal.

Two brake calipers: E Ray?
I noticed there were two brake calipers on at least the rear wheel. My daughter has a Tesla and they have two calipers in case of a massive electrical failure, the hydraulic system is the back up.
Electric Corvette?

This video appeared in another thread, and for reasons unknown to me, the thread was locked. It is a good video.

I bet I know why he rides shotgun now! 
Hey BLKTOUT:That is funny. Every time I see Mark Reuss all I can think about is how he cracked up a perfectly good ZR-1 last July in MI. I believe the race was Belle Isle IndyCar race. Living proof that you can have hundreds of "attaboys"but all it takes is one Ah-**** and you are forever remembered for your demonstration of professional driving in his case. When I read your text I laughed so hard. I had to respond.

You'd think with the sheer amount of time most of you guys have existed on this planet YOU'D KNOW WTF DUAL CALIPERS ARE FOR
its not new, it's not novel, it's not a hydraulic back up to an electric brake system (that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, as if that tiny POS is gonna stop a moving Tesla 😂
. It's the ******* parking brake caliper. 1 job. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less (except
weight)
Lets say it together "parking brake". Maybe one more time for help memorizing it
jesus. The C8 could have ******* hyper drive and you guys would be mesmerized by the dual rear calipers and your conspiracies about them

Why do these people that post videos TALK TALK and TALK? Just get on with it. I see this on you tube posts. They give you the history of themselves and the site then ask you to click then TALK and TALK then finally get on with it. I usually just close it out. Fed up

Might I recommend a forum of auto "enthusiasts" read up on separate parking brake calipers?

Thanks Gordy! I could not resist! I really have no room to talk either, as I took a Z06 off road a couple years ago. It didn't go well, but it wasn't televised either!
Have a good day buddy!

On my way to work this morning (Middle TN) I got beside a truck hauling about 6 C8's as well. A Lot of the same curves of C7 I could tell under their covers but much different than the C7 too!
I did snap 2 pictures but the are shaky and not great angles lol!
