Nothing is rare around here.

Wranglers, Corvettes, Porsche's, etc. are a dime a dozen.

3-4 Ford GT's I regularly see, 2 Veyron's, buncha R8's, someone has a La Ferrari that we see on the weekends.

The La Ferrari is probably the rarest car because I've only seen one but I hear there are 2 owners in the area.

Still can't figure out his part. There is an outlet on the hood which precludes the Ferrari type out lets on either side of it that you have. At least you are having a blast trying to figure it out.

People don't really understand the law. Only when you break a law can you be put in jail. Violating an NDA is a contractual issue not a criminal issue. Your employment contract usually contains some sort of NDA.
Uh IF you are CONVICTED

These are straight up CAD images from the mid-engine car. This is your C8, people.

Somebody is gonna get so fired over this. Give it 2 hours, this will be all over Jalopnik, Autoblog, and others.

From the images:

-Coil springs (FINALLY).
-Magshocks (or spool valve, either way, fancy shocks).
-Upper front arms look to be similar to C5/6/7 with trunions.
-Lower front arms look to be similar to C5/6/7 with camber eccentrics.
-Rear subframe is HUGE and is a very strange mix of cast parts and welded tube. Can't tell if it's welded or bolted together in the middle.
-Engine is an LT1.
-Looks like factory shorty headers instead of cast manifolds.
-Engine has alternator relocated.
-Not sure what the upper-right accessory pulley is for. Upper left is water pump, lower right is AC.
-Oil filter looks easy to get to.
-Oil cooler clearly shown above filter.
-Half-shafts look to be the "bolt on flange" style (no draining trans to remove shafts).
-That transaxle is BEEFY. Like, dear god. Can't tell if it's auto or manual. If I had to wager, that's the automatic (guessing from shape of bottom of trans and what looks to be coolers hanging around it).
-Giant flat space above transaxle is more than likely for intake box/filter.
-No turbos shown.
-Frame looks to be similar to C5/6/7 with giant hydroformed rails (probably still aluminum). Disappointing. I was hoping for proper unibody. Hopefully with a fixed roof it'll be stiffer.
-Brake rotors are 1 piece. Calipers are MASSIVE.
-Side skirts are mechanically fastened just like C5/6/7. Still going to be horrendously expensive to fix if damaged.
-Brake ducts clearly shown on front.

Guarantee that Tadge is fighting some fires right now.

Can't wait to see this thing released.
It sure does appear that there are MagnetoRhealogical engine mounts(Porsche Tech) that were developed for the 911 on this new C8 ME chassis. What do you think ??

Good catch. Looks very very similar to the Porsche mounts.

A person doesn't go to jail unless they are convicted of braking the law. If you lose in a civil case you have been convicted you lose you pay that's a conviction. Maybe not in jail time but you lose

Who's part?


I agree the Ferrari outlets are/may not (be) accurate. Can you explain what you mean.? But what do you see that precludes it? Are you talking about the center C7 style chevron style camp pad?

Many feel this could be a fake detail so I took the liberty to show another option. May previous versions had the center style vent.

Wrong. A conviction is a term only used in a criminal proceeding, not a civil matter.

And it's "breaking" the law, not "braking" like you'd do in a car.

Don’t forget the Louisville Chevy Dude’s leak of the front fenders. They align perfectly with the leaked painted fascia and the last headlight/fender leak from Zerv.

Well this thread is getting entertaining. Ignoring most of what has been said, Zerv cannot be criminally cited for the leaking anything. If he were taking the photos and selling them to a competitor, it would be possible to go after him for embezzlement but even that would be a hard sell. In short, there is virtually no way a government entity could or would hold him liable. This is a civil matter between Zerv and GM only. No jail, only money and/or injunction...which is not a conviction.
