Not your daddy's Corvette
I have to say that the C8 is an absolute Grand Slam for Chevrolet. This car will make the C7's an equivalent to a Model T. The design, performance and capabilities are off the charts. (Z06 and ZR1 will be unrivaled) General Motors just created the most desirable car in the history of their company. The European car companies just got throttled! Love to listen in on an executive meeting at Porsche this week! Your daddy drove a Biplane.. The is the Stealth fighter! Well done General Motors!

Muscle Cars & Trucks reported a few days ago on the advanced encryption written into the ECU in the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette. The condensed version is that, according to the outlet's source, "successfully flash-tuning, reprogramming and otherwise altering the engine control unit to increase power output will be next to impossible." During the reveal event for the Cadillac CT4-V and CT5-V, MCT asked GM President Mark Reuss about the Corvette's new Global B electrical architecture, which is shared with the new Cadillacs, and about that ECU.
The context is that the Global B system has been designed to serve the next decade of GM vehicles, capable of supporting advanced driver aids like Super Cruise, full autonomy, far greater and constant connectivity that enables features such as over-the-air updates, the growing importance of cloud computing, and electric vehicles. Reuss' comments have to do with the primary threat to such a system: hacking. Calling the cybersecurity component "very, very robust," Reuss told MCT, "Global B I think is going to be the standard of the industry in terms of the encrypted messaging that travels on our bus between modules. There's a clean side and dirty side to that."
