I admit before today I was solidly in the C8 camp, but after hearing the initial impressions from drivers and seeing the trap speed, I'm wavering a bit and wondering if a base GT500 is in my future...after all I do still need back seats for a long time.
One interesting tidbit I read from one of the reviews (can't remember the source but maybe C&D?) is Ford moved the pulley and gearing down in the supercharger, lowering the s/c center of gravity by a few inches. Pretty cool.

If a manual version existed I'd be a bigger fan personally but I know most don't care about that. Basically the only hypo cars I'm interested in are a c7 zr1 and a zl1 because of my affinity for manuals. Somehow on the mid engine corvette the dct doesn't bother me, I feel like that layout doesn't necessarily need a manual for my taste. My camaros and mustangs need s stick though lol.
You're talking about the inverted layout of the blower I presume, I know motortrend touched on that so maybe that's where you saw it.
