That’s what I want to believe. But why manufacture, paint and mount and entire assembly??! That bitch is ugly as fuck!!!! 8 more days before GM fucks the Corvette like a bad boob job! It’s getting trashed on every corvette site and thread.
Agreed. Trump will pardon them. I have the C7 Z06 with a clear title. May cop the NSX if this reveal is a fail.
This is an alleged photo from a reveal photo shoot. I’m not convinced, but if so, it excuses that ugly ass rear end. But to me, the lines of the rear end don’t fit this possible leaked image of the car. It doesn’t match. Thoughts?
Front looks good not blown away though. Side and the rear is what I’m waiting for. Plus horsepower, how’s your Z06 racing a hellcat.. being though the hellcat weights 1200 pounds more?
I don’t race like that. I’ve smoked a few fools on freeways but nothing too serious. I will never take my car for granted being that I’ve lost control of it a couple times already. It’s no joke man. I’m running it to 70mph in 1st, then shift to 4th and over 100mph bro. Hellcat can catch me and pass me if I let off too much or we go for too long, but off the line or a rolling start I got it. I’m 3300 lbs curb weight.
If the weight isn't around 3,200 lbs & dual clutch. They can hang it up!
C6 ZR1 was the last beast

It will be DTC for sure. Weight should be close to that.
Thanks man my boy got a hellcat Challenger, I drove it and for the life of me. I was thinking my z51 C7 feels quicker, or faster. I wasn’t impressed after swapping cars. But we never raced, I’m like you I’ve lost control coming off the exit ramp in a turn. Scared the shit out me, caught a nice fishtail been chilling ever since!
waiting for the price thats where it will matter....
I like the design but that shitty ass paint job in that first pic is horrible. That they need never do that again.
the dodge is light in the ass that it sould be for a muscle car but if your looking for a fast but affordable car that handles the mustang is where its at..
its heavy in the rear and better traction the car handles like a m-f...im a racer and weight matters for different circumstances...
Man then dodges are heavy straight line boats, straight line muscle. The camaros and mustangs are not traditional muscle anymore since the handling are now on par with sports cars. They are what 3600 to 3800 pound cars, dodges are easily over 4000
Base models is gonna be around 68k to 74k.
That is every GM car. GM has some of the worst paint jobs up any mass production manufacture. At best I would put them above Subaru.
Even the Cadillac line uses cheap paint and comes off the factory line with flaws and orange peel galore.
The only exception is they are pearl whites, which are very good
The new generation of automatic transmissions are now better than dual clutch.
They can handle more power, they can shift almost as fast, the are far less complicated, and easier to package
If you look at the industry over the past five years, you’ll notice double clutch is losing favor to more traditional, but the new highly advanced A/Ts.
This is only going to continue. Double clutch will be phased out over the next 10 years.
They’re nowhere near the old slush boxes they were even 10 years ago
I bet the C8 will come with a dual clutch
Maybe a 10 speed is better, but I'm sure it will have a DCT
Challenger ranges from 4190 to 4448
Exactly, heavy ass cars, straight line muscle
That's what they were made for, not drifting, not cornering, just being a solid beast in a straight line....I have no problem with them.
Chevy dropped an official photo of the steering wheel, although it's the pretty much the same as in the spy shot above.
I like it. There are a few more spy shots that show a lot of the fake parts in clearer frame. They entire front nose Clíp appears to be much different. The side air vents are exaggerated too. I think the hood had a hidden air vent.Chevy dropped an official photo of the steering wheel, although it's the pretty much the same as in the spy shot above.
I’m ok with the flat bottom shape, but I feel like the overall diameter is too larger and those cheap GM buttons and plastics make me ugh.Chevy dropped an official photo of the steering wheel, although it's the pretty much the same as in the spy shot above.
Why can’t GM improve the quality of their plastic and molding to at least Kia standard.
I never understood their logic. That saving a couple of cents mentality almost drive them out of business. After owning a Chevy equinox, I will not buy any gm mass market car, except a zl1, zo6, or cts-v
Some mid engine vehicles have the ability to store the panels in the trunk if the engine is truly mid-ship. I would suspect because Corvette still needs to appeal the the 50+, I golf on weekends and in my retirement crowd, the trunk has enough room for a set of clubs which would be enough for the tops. If not, in the frunk they would go.
You had an Equinox. My condolences. I read those things were utter shit. Engine oil consumption problems galore leading to complete failure. No way to avoid a total rebuild or replacement which because of pure innate design flaws, meant the same thing would happen
Tranny went, fixed that and 3 weeks later the engine died. I traded it in for my grand Cherokees, and no lie...the engine died on the lot. I didn't think they would take it, but the salesman didn't care. He said they were sending it to the auction
Oh shit man, you went from into the frying pan to into the fire by getting an FCA product.
Fiat/Chrysler products, with maybe the exception of the Wrangler because it's so crude, are unreliable, issue plague JUNK.
The Demons for instance were blowing up their transmissions during launches. You would think that would be the one thing FCA would double reinforce. Jeep, 10 speed transmission and electrical issue. Chrysler, engine and trans issues.
Shit fit and finish. Cars leaving the factory with subframes out of alignment.
Issue ... after issue ... after issue.
You couldn't pay me to take a FCA product. Maserati all the way down the Fiat and Chrysler. Keep em.
So far the grand Cherokee has been great. I need the space for DJ equipment. Never left me stranded, and every other truck in NY is a Grand Cherokee...plus it is a beast in the snow
C7 is ugly too!
