And the SICKNESS continues!!!

A 5.5 liter that's been rumored since the C7 was a concept car with a N/A V8 putting out 600hp/620tq and a twin turbocharged version putting out 850hp are set to debut for the C8 in 2020!!

I guess they're working on beefing up the dual clutch for the latter engine? These numbers are crazy though. Chevy is really trying to not have ANY competition in this segment. Nuts!!!

If this is true. This is going to pull sales away from other sports cars with the people who are on the fence on which car to get.

What I love about the C8 is they're gonna have to either put out super cars at corvette prices. So budget sports cars will have to be Cayman good.

I can foresee a toyota MR2 being something really special in the 40k range.

The C8 might be the shock to the system that the sports car world needed. Super car performance at prices that are not out of reach. Now everyone has to step up their game.
