Default 12.4l v16

Snagged theses spy photos of the C8 and it appears that it has two 6.2L V8's, and is not a mid engine.

But the big news is the 100% petroleum free body with no plastics. It's 100% recyclable wood.





Now we know why the huge expansion at Bowling Green. Lots of new jobs building those bodies. Very labor intensive.

Look at the hint with the hood ornimate. Could that mean 2020 model year?
