Proud to be a Chevy Owner - Warning C8 Z06 Cutaway

Hat's off Chevy, another serious machine from the Chevy stable.

Half a C8 would save me a lot of money! How much?

I'll never buy a C8 to drive, but I am keeping my eyes open for a scale model to build...these kinds of pictures are excellent reference materials for surfaces and materials you can't usually see very well. Thanks for sharing!

I remember being in awe of my 1le when getting underneath. These pics are super impressive.

I’m still not a fan of the standard c8 lines but like the z06. This cutaway makes it way more desirable

Would luv to see someone take that chassis and put a car shape on it that looks more like a sport coupe and not super car because that’s what I want. But that’s just me.

C8 is a great performer but makes my eyes bleed looking at it, especially the rear end. C8 Z06 definitely looks better but the rear end, again is just bad.

Cutting edge tech in the car and the LT6 engine is impressive.

But remember, no manual transmission option. That is bad, very bad.

Cool to see the internal structure nontheless.

They are absolutely a engineering marvel. No doubt about it. I would drive the piss out of one, but am not in the habit of driving the piss out of 100k cars. More power to those that do though. I find it a bit sad that a lot of these types of cars live in garages, rarely get out, and almost never get run really hard.
