FenwickHockey65's Great Thread of GM Knowledge - Page 556

Finally something from GM that gets the blood pumping! Love the sound of that new engine. Being a Z/28 guy I'd love to see a "minimalist" Z06. No A/C, manual seats, etc. Trying to figure out if I want to retire early or purchase one of these. Difficult choice.

Corvette E-Ray rumors.

Wut.

And if whispers in a Motor Trend Confidential report can be believed, 2024 will mark an even bigger first, when Chevrolet debuts an electric Corvette crossover on the Ultium platform as "a four-door, four-seat, performance-tuned crossover with key design cues lifted from the mid-engine C8," and perhaps comes clean on a four-door electric Corvette car to challenge the Porsche Taycan.

Z06 Nurburgring testing.

A 2019 SS testing too? How bizarre

But a CUV, come on. I hate it so much. Almost as bad as building a Camaro inspired CUV but calling it a Blazer.

Z06 reveal is 10/26.

The Nurburgring is a public road. Anyone can drive on it. That could be someone's personal car. Could be a test car though.

Need some public roads like that in my area. Ya know, for "testing".

2022 Silverado.

Will be very interesting to see how much they can improve relative to the competition.

I did look at their September 9th reveal thread.

Redesigned front and rear ends
mid-bed steps similar to the Silverado HD on some models
Engines with slightly more power… but not too much more. LOL
Redesigned Interior with larger infotainment system and premium materials
Google-built-in infotainment apps
Phone as a key access
The much anticipated, off-road focused ZR2 model
Super Cruise as an option (maybe)
New wheels and color options

I am curious to see how the ZR2 stacks up to the competition. I am betting its closer to the Tremor option package than the Raptor
