C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

So does this mean the hybrid motor will be the axle? Logically, that's amazing. It may be self propelling 114hp? That's insane!!

Chevy claims they sold all 40,000 units before its release.
If this is true? This means the sports car market is very much alive and people been waiting for something like this...
Meaning, I think theres room for a camaro 7 if they go routes that I've mentioned before. Which was making a corvette style 4 seat camaro with dimensions similar to the camaro 3 but performance like a c7 GS for about 50k.
It could he done. It's up to Chevy though.

Or, meaning that people saw this incredibly priced, super performing car for the deal it seems to be, and took advantage of Chevy's "Black Friday" pricing before GM came to their senses and priced it closer to where it belongs.

A next generation Camaro would have to be a similar paradigm shift to get this kind of sales interest, I'm afraid. Not sure that GM wants to risk that much R&D into two petrol sports cars at this stage. Seems a foolishly risky venture. 40,000 cars is not that huge in the overall scheme of things. They sold 35,000 C7's to North American markets alone, in the first year of production.

...However, I sadly fear this is more accurate.

If there’s a next gen camaro, it’ll have to be hybrid to start with the preplanning done for it to go full electric a few years later on the same chassis. Even with platform sharing, its a big risk with cars losing popularity to cuvs. Can gm have two low volume “halo” sports cars and still make enough $$ to justify both? Even if the camaro would be profitable in the above scenario, it wouldn’t be more profitable than a cuv electric hybrid vehicle and gm has to allocate resources to maximize $$$. (And this is how a similar convo probably went at ford which led to the mustang electric cuv).

They might be looking for new jobs soon.

Glad no one got hurt for their actions.

C8 Z06 Flat plane crank engine sounds so sick!!!

Now I'm wondering... Should I shoot for a Z06? The Z06 suspension is always pretty amazing as well

I wonder what the cost would be?

Rusty · 01-25-2020, 10:17 PM

There was an article the other day where the wheels and tires was stolen off a 2020 Vette. The car was sitting 4 miles from GM headquarters in Detroit. The car didn't have a manufacturer licence plate on it. No one knows who owns the Vette. When the newspaper called GM on it. They had no comment. The picture showed a black Vette with no wheels and tires sitting on blocks.

So much for getting the carbon fiber package. Cancelled.

Maybe it was target advertising for a new niche consumer market for those who like to put vehicles on blocks in their front yards?

A true enthusiast would have never wasted his time writing this trash.

Jalopnik and similar sites literally post trash out their ***. I mean I guess us here are forums are suspect to doing the same, but those sites are trying to pass as news sites of sorts.

So much speculation over a a car that hasn't really hit the road yet. It was an exciting reveal, no doubt, though.

UNKNOWN_370 · 02-20-2020, 08:43 AM

Wow.... this car is awesome. Surprised they chose the tires I use as a base tire. The ps3+as are so good. I dont feel the need for a summer tire. And I get an extra 3 months of usage. Lol.
