Good! Maybe the rich GT350 owners will get desperate to sell them and flood the market with cheap cars that no one wants to buy so people like me can scoop them up lololol...

Please make this a thing the GT350 sucks people spread that everywhere haha

Skip the 7 minute mark. Stangmode’s, who just bought one, quote “fake Ferrari”. That sums it up. The comments on the crowd was spot on also, :crackup::crackup:

These two cars could not be more different but given their performance and price they will now be compared. The Ford old school in styling reminiscent of the 69-70 fastback and the C8 futuristic super car look. Only time will tell how one effects the sales of the other. Here are some observations. Ford, Chevy and Dodge went retro with the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger I'm guessing to sell to all the baby boomers, cars they had or wanted when they were younger. I attend 2 to 3 car events per week shows, cruises and cars and coffee. What I see, out of the four cars, the one you see the most of are Corvettes all models and years old to brand new. The next is lots of old Mopar as well as tons of new Challengers It is nothing to see 10 or 12 new Challengers roll in together. The next is Mustangs some pre 74s some 05 to 14 but the bulk S550's. There are many events that do not have any Camaros except for 67-69 and maybe one or two new ones. This I guess could be a local or regional thing just what I see.

Ok the numbers are out the C8 11.3sec at 121mph. That's faster than a C7 Z06 imagine a new Z06 or ZR1. So now what is the rational given the price and performance of a C8 to go with a GT350 or ZL1. The GT500 better be a beast.

- Available manual
- Back seats
- Convertible option
- Price
- Easier bolt-on power
- As-yet-to-be-determined things like ergonomics/seating position/visibility/etc.

(obv. not all these apply to both cars ...)

I keep hearing the C8 Z06 is going to have a flat-plane crank V8 twin turbo, that would be pretty amazing.

I highly doubt GM will go all out for the ZO6. I think the ZO6 will have a supercharged lt2 engine but the twin turbo will be reserved only for the ZR1 Zora, otherwise they need to find a better formula for the ZR1 to surpass the ZO6. My guess is 700 hp ZO6 and 800+hp ZR1.

1,000HP +
If the 800 hp is true the ZO6 starting price might be around 90 grand. If i remember right the C7 ZO6 had a 75 grand starting price and then its gone up. For 800 hp C8 though and the price, C7 ZR1 guys are going to be really jealous. Corvette might actually have a chance against big boys like Mclarens, Lambos and Ferraris. Not just straight line but lap times too. Just damn. Proud to be American.

If those guys don't really up their game it will have much more than a chance.
