I recently spoke with someone who would know that Chevy is already testing the Z06 version of the C8. I live about ten miles away from the GM Proving Grounds. The individual has a relative who works for GM. He had no other details. I recently purchased a 2019 Z06/Z07 and he asked why I didn't wait for the C8. Told him I have to have a manual trans plus it was my guess the Z06 version would not be available for at least a year after the base model. That is when he told me they were already testing them.

The issue with that is an NA version would likely not have forged internals thereby requiring rebuild to make any real power. The C7Z and C7ZR1 stock long block will take 1000+whp all day

Those wheels are the optional "trident" wheel listed on the leaked configurator. They're not anything new.
