and I had to edit it from kg to lb haah

I’ve become anti CF in my last few cars. Expensive, cheesy (especially some cf with terrible patterns that looks fake), tough to repair, and replacement availability being a PITA. Give me open pore wood any day.

***tough to repair*** ***open pore wood***



That said the weird cf in my car looks dreadful. Literally looks like pressed plastic finish without the usual lacquer coating. But it doesn’t scratch so I guess that’s a win?

Replacements are cheap and plentiful.

It's a thin sheet of wood over... plastic. lol

I had a quote on fixing a scratch on the CLK 63 BS diffuser. Suffice to say my OCD learnt to live with it.

The carbon fibre wheels are probably a legit upgrade.

But the baller move would be to PAINT them.

Painted CF is the new baller.

I can't stay mad at you. This is too correct.

Fake CF (plastic) or not, not sure anything this side of a 720S will be able to keep up around a track. Can't wait for the reviews and comparos.

How many are they expecting to get per year?

previously gm produced about 6000-8000 Z06's per year... So a corvette dealer probably gets a handful of z06's

I'm not really a "new car guy" but man they hit it out of the park with the C8 Z06. Can't wait to hear one in person at full tilt, and can't wait to see someone put turbos on it for a "mild" 1000 horsepower setup.

Roughly, you can expect that for every 5 Stingrays sold the dealer will get 1 Z06 allocation.

Not great. Not terrible.

Manual option yet?

Pretty sweet ass reveal video. Reminds me of that audi RS6 avant reveal in terms of how much I liked it. This was much more technical but for me even more enjoyable to watch

A few journalists have written pricing estimates for the car.

I’ve seen 85k, and 86,xxx so far. However one trusted source said GM acknowledged that the pricing gap will be similar with the previous Z06/base ratio which was 44% premium over a base car.

In Canada we’re at 71k for a base 2022, but we must use 2023 numbers (estimate 73k + destination).

I think we’ll see a starting price of 105-110 cdn, and won’t be able to sneak under the luxury tax.

It would be amazing if GM priced it at 99,999 cdn.

There will never be a manual option for the C8.

To the numbnuts that neg repped me saying 'go buy audi then' - If you learn to read, you can see that I said I liked this video better. Twat

Back on topic - One thing I find interesting is how the Mustang GT350 sounds like a bit of a refined regular V8, but this engine sounds way more like an exotic. Is it all exhaust tuning for the difference in sounds I wonder?
