You can live stream the reveal later tonight here:

Chevylo


Not at all blown away by the 'Ring times. That is slower than the Camaro ZL1 1LE as well as the C7 Z06. While this is the base C8 times it is a little disappointing, at least to me.

Not for long.

It's a mid-engine sports car that was designed on the Nürburgring to run with Ferrari and Porsche. I would forget about any version being under $80,000.

If rumors are true, the base car is only gonna make ~460HP.

That's a lot to give up to an almost purpose-built race car making 650.

Really, you are kidding me, I didn't have a clue. Chevy books 'Ring time another stunner, I always thought all the laps Bill Wise and Jim Mero put in were just for their own shits and giggles.

Get back to me when a C8 clocks a Nordschleife better than a GT2 RS.

A 7:18....

Quicker than a 488GTB....

For the base car....

*shakes head*

The Ring likes horsepower.

I agree on one hand but it is giving up more than 6 seconds a lap to a 911 with 500hp and less low end torque. Thats a lot of time for a mid-engine chassis to lose to a NA arse engined Nazi slot car.

The Nordschleife is a horsepower track BUT it requires an excellent chassis as well. The lateral and vertical loadings are immense. I am still disappointed in the "Ring times.
