They don't have to do anything. There are plenty of ignorant people who have no idea, nor care to learn, what a mid-engine configuration means, so they'll see "495 HP" and scoff. 760 vs. 495 is an easy choice for those people.

No, I meant that the supercars of the world sees they finally have a competitor for cheap from America and will be beating them on the tracks.

My 2016 SS was built the 3rd day of production, one of the first 6th gens off the line. Took delivery in December 2015, only real issue so far has been the A8 issues, but those issues continue with the A8 in all GM products even in 2019...so at least mibe has been rock solid, 1st year and one of 1st built!

I think I for one want to buy the C8, and throw a whipple on the LT2. That should give me everything I need.

They'll just run and hide and not go to the ring like Ford did. Ford quit making the Boss when the 5th gen 1LE came out but people with crazy money will always buy Ferraris and such just because they can.

Don't take me as a GM hater. I actually really like the C8, more than other models, and my next car will likely be between a hellcat redeye or an auto ZLE. However, that is a monetary thing. You buy those at invoice, and I have been quoted 50k over sticker for the GT500. Not to mention, as we are all enthusiasts who mod cars. a bolt om gt500 will be close to 800whp, as the blower and fuel system, are much more conducive to mods. |

I can't make you hate anything, that is up to you. But the GT500 will not stomp the C8, where does it say that. I know both manufacturers have 0-60 times and the C8 is faster. So how can a slower car beat a faster car?

Silly to compare a C8 with a suspension/brake package to the Top car Ford has to offer.
Let GM release their Top Corvette then see where rubber goes.
