Hoping and wishing for the next ZL1 engine. Eat it Ford

I don't know any car made in North America, including the Ford GT that is going to beat this car....

Smells like a small displacement (twin) turbo V8 to me.

DOHC???

DCT???

I can't wait to see what Chevy has in store for the C8!

I think it’s the A10. Sounds really good.

Definitely sounds like an A-10 shifting.

Its not, its a DCT just like the one in the C7R race car. The car on the track is a C8R, not the street version as the new Mid Engine C8 thats coming to replace the C7

There is a good load of info on the the up coming C8. Twin turbo 4.2 and a twin turbo 5.5 both V8's DOHC engines. The Base C8 will be a hotter 520 horse LT1. Word is DCT across the board , no manual.

I would imagine the DCT is true. I heard it's difficult to have a converter on Mid-Engine builds.

Looks like the April NY show will be the first time we get official C8 info.

That definitely sounds like a DCT. I have watched a video of the C8 that sounds like an A10, but it was just cruising, so they could have the shifts softened up for that type of driving, and makes it sound like an A8 or A10. Can't wait to see the specs of this car.

That’s the race car version. I don’t think the consumer version will be getting that setup.

Oh, to be sure. But will hopefully at least be a detuned version.

Sounds similar to the Ferrari GT3 (3.9L TT V8). Last I heard the trans will be a Tremec sourced DCT.

Precisely! Agreed on the Ferrari, sounds similar to the McLaren 650S GT3 as well.

Definitely a DCT, that was no turbine clutch torque converter(10L80).

FWIW, It sounds like C8 might be delayed up to 6 months due to an electrical glitch. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2018/12/...ssue-breaking/ I'm sure that Tadge has his best engineers on it.
