Based on the harness bar and sparcos etc. I'm pretty sure they're testing the turbo versions. However, the idle sounds like a NA LT1 (LT2 I guess). Maybe one of each is there?

Makes sense for the LT2 cars, but could be easy to re-configure as it's all digital.

I think they may have one of each... that shot of the car at idle sounds all NA to me. Sounds like a LT1 (LT2).

Yep... but that harness bar appears to be taking up valuable real-estate for us tall folks. Also, it destroys my fantasy that they'd incorporate shoulder anchors in the wall behind the seats. Would be so awesome to have a factor engineered solution and just add harnesses, but I understand why they don't.

What’s the large shifter looking thing on the console at 1:20? Why would a DCT car need that?

Viewing on my phone in a rush so it may be perspective.

Thanks Steven ...you should be in charge of the Corvette teasers leading up to the reveal...
Exciting!

Still no sign of a manual...I can’t believe I’ll be getting a DCT included in the basic package...
guess ill have to take the free bee.

I don't see anything resembling a shifter... I see a big red "oh ****" button for the fire system (most likely).

2 test mules. The release will not resemble these 2.

They're not supposed to shut them off while getting fuel, because they won't start again

I don't think that camo leaves too much to the imagination - I think we pretty much know what the C8 is going to look like, absent some very small details, inside and out.

I like the exhaust note.
