C8 DOHC Test

Very nice sound from the flat plane engine. Car in camo but looks hipper.

Hopefully GM gives us some new details to “keep the embers burning.”
I find a C8 Z06 with a high revving flat plane crank very appealing.

Testing to resume shortly with spy shots. No details though, and the project is hush hush. GM making sure its right the first time out is the reason i believe. I am willing to bet on it being the fastest track car GM has ever made, and then some.

Certainly different than any other HP Chevrolet offering, ever.
Once it's available though it'll surely be the hottest thing going.
Anyone thinking standard C8 pricing's crazy hasn't seen anything, yet.
Those early buyers who got on some kind of dealer waiting list will have hit a jackpot.
Be interesting watching if dealers play any games re pricing, too.

yes unfortunately all the news outlets have picked it up again and it's making the rounds all over. Some of the articles are at least pointing out when GM Authority posted it...
