Is Team Corvette updating the C7.R? I wonder if that's why there are two different wing variants there.

I noticed that the black mirrored car now has the exhaust deflectors now as well. I can't tell if I can hear any charger whine or if it's just the tires. The red car you can definitely hear it. At the end of the video it sounds almost like the red and black car have different engines.

I have to say those wheels actually look good in black and silver/aluminum finish. I usually don't like the silver/aluminum finish but these ones are not bad.

I really, really hope that if GM begins to use DOHC V8 engines, that they can follow in the footsteps of the Mercury Marine engine. I don't see why they wouldn't, unless of course the cost is just way too high.

Again, using the shorter DOHC design...this would be pretty damned amazing. It would make for incredibly high naturally aspirated peak HP possible, while maintaining good torque. But I think I'd be shocked to see them do a DOHC with that displacement.

likewise, I don't see a 6.2DOHC coming.

looks ready to be dropped out of the plane. Le Mans would be a grand stage.
