I can see how being a hybrid will get if off the line quickly despite the weight. But it certainly can't be as nimble or responsive through the corners can it? The same with brakes, more weight, more inertia, longer braking distances.

The C8 is a GT first. That doesn't really hurt the E-ray. There's only so much that light weighting could help the Z06. People with the dough might think to wait for the ZR1, with the legs to move that sled.

That being said I’m sure it’s at least 1 second slower than the equally priced c8 z06 around a track. I wonder how much the torque of the e-ray will help it around the track though. |

Agreed, but it doesn't look it.

I wouldn't rule out the ICE yet. We're just seeing advertising and propaganda (not sure if this is the right use of the word). In reality most performance buyers (that I know) as well as pickup and SUV buyers demand ICE and v8 power. EVs just will not cut it in these genres.
