Sounds awesome. I can’t wait to see the full reveal. I hope the Z07 package is done like the Z/28 or ZLE. Corvette needs to push this car as far as possible.

It's loud, and surely will be fast, but not sure I prefer the sound.

Sounds like a motorcycle....

A fall 2021 reveal for a 2023 car. Gee, only two years to go. Why get all excited?...Hopefully it doesn't get forgotten like the Hummer or the Lyrique.

Sounds like a twin tubo V6, which I`m sure will go down big with the Vette crowd!

...you do realize a 2023 model can launch as early as January 2022?

Definitely has the sound of a flat plane crank which will be interesting to see how it performs on this new platform. I am sure that it also has plenty of suspension upgrades to match the increased power output.

As for me, doesn't seem as if my ears picked up a sound of boost. Let me know if you heard anything or believe it will be NA?

Sure...if by launch you mean deposits taken in January 2022 for delivery later in 2023...ok...I guess it depends on what you consider a launch and early. I'll be waiting to see 2023s on the road in January of 2022.

It's not unheard of. The 5th gen Camaro launched as a 2010 in like March of 2009.

Nope. GM is not likely to add any new V6 engines between now and BEVageddon. That’s the 5.5 DOHC FPC.

Uh, dealers were taking deposits on the Z06 well over a year ago.

Strong rumors are it will have less, not more power that the C7 Z06. Approx 615-620hp and 530 Tq.

The C8 looks like a Ferrari, now it'll also sound like a Ferrari... a very nice car, but
