Corvette used mega wing.  It’s super effective.

I genuinely believe the C8 will kill us all once it earns it’s ZR1 badge .

So... I think we’ve got about 10 years still then.  I’m guessing with the amount of money GM sunk into such a major redesign and just how good the performance (on paper anyway) is for the Stingray that we’re not going to see a Z06 until 2025 or so and a ZR1 in 2030 with a C9 not until 2032 at the earliest.  I just can’t see the C8 being less than a 12 year generation after such a major shift.

The C7 ZR1 came along in nearly half that, and the C7 wasn’t exactly phoned-in either. The last two Camaro Generations (so far) haven’t had long lifespans either. I think the C8 and C9 might get the treatment more recent Ferrari models (458, 488, and F8) have, basically being updates of the preceding variation . If the C8 is as fantastic as we’re being told it only makes sense to build up from the platform that came into fruition at least very early in the C7's life.

That makes sense too... keep evolving and reskinning the chassis without totally doing a clean sheet. Keep it to 5-6 years... I still wonder if a ZR1 will come soon - my guess is Chevy will be developing it but it might not get to market until sales slump or the competition gets serious.

Not accounting for other economical factors, if the market for this thing takes a hit that would be a glorious thing when you think about it. That would have to mean other amazing sportscars would be down to it’s sub $60K level. Best case scenario, that true “entry level” Mclaren could happen. The C8 could truly be the start of something great not for what it provides us, but for the effects it’ll have on the automotive landscape. Christ on a bike, what a time to be a Jalop.

The pt cruiser would kill all life in the universe, if it wasn’t busy stumbling over its own dick trying to get under way.

Most people i see rocking a loser cruiser fit into one of 3 categories.

1. Ima thrash this shitbox into the ground.

2. This is the car the dealership gave me, i must try at all costs to preserve it.

3. Loser cruiser fanboys (blugh)
