C8 CORVETTE IS SO POWERFUL, IT CANNOT BE CONTAINED
It has been some time since we have reported on new rumors of the C8 Corvette, as the news has been more of the same, C8’s sightings here and there, ever changing release dates and more camouflaged pictures.
Well there is some major news coming out of reliable sources that we found interesting.
First is the release date. The rumors are the production date has been pushed all the way to the end of this year.
Second is that the prototype, with a twin-turbocharged V8 is so powerful it is causing a “structural distortion of the aluminum spaceframe” during tests. There is a report that in one case the engine moved so much that the rear window was broken!
Third is that the C7 will cease production once the C8 enters production. This means that this may be the last year for a front engine Corvette, and for the most powerful Corvette ever produced; the ZR1. What a collectors item this could be!

Featured Car of the Week
2019 Sebring Orange Corvette ZR1 Coupe What Mike likes about this car: I walked in the showroom for the first time after it showed up and I stood there in awe!! The Orange is ELECTRIC!! I thought to myself; Chevy built this car? Then I remembered my lingering thoughts about the 67 Corvettes. And then trying to imagine what it must have been like to see a 67 435 sitting on the showroom floor in August of 1966. I was 11. So I can’t. |
