Holy sh** that is awesome! And makes me so much more excited for the Z06.

And the reason to stay patient has arrived! TT fpc dohc 750hp.

rob62 01-20-2020 04:26 PM

Far from arrived but I get your drift.

Did you take this video? If so, where and when? If not, where did you find it?

Speculation on the reason for the wheel covers?

Just a different wheel showing the world it isn't the narrow C8.

JockItch 01-20-2020 04:37 PM

Definitely doesn’t sound like an LT2 hybrid. :rock:

I’m noticing no wing,... but it looks like two posts towards the center for a wing to mount... possibly an active wing...🤭

Can see the side scoops in that second image. Just like I thought, the C8 Z06 side scoop is the same as the C8R. Looks great.

Video taken east of San Diego but cuts off right before he accelerates. Definitely fpc V8.

JockItch 01-20-2020 04:57 PM

No rear spoiler or wing is odd. I doubt it... but active Aero?

JasonVette 01-20-2020 05:01 PM

Carbon Fiber wheels? The exhaust tips appear to be a bit more rounded too, but could just be because the image is jpeg.

Great video. I guess I better start saving. Can’t pass that up.

Hide the brakes?

JerriVette 01-20-2020 05:23 PM

Sounded cool on the pass but ither than that I couldnt tell a thing.

thanks for posting up

JockItch 01-20-2020 05:26 PM

The wheel cover treatment is still a head scratcher as they’ve never done that before. CF wheels is the best reason I’ve heard yet but they could easily just rattle can those. Is the wheel design that awesome they are trying to hide it? They’ve used generic wheels of the same spec in the past. CCB aren’t anything new to hide. Just weird.

EasyLivin 01-20-2020 05:39 PM

Wow! Sounds Evil!!!

DRM87 01-20-2020 05:40 PM

Perhaps the new Z06 emblem or some other model name is imprinted in the lip of the wheel and they don't want to give away the fact that its a Z06 or some other model name yet.

That sounds fantastic! Almost too good to be true. Great job recording the sound.
