Corvette C8 Official Reveal

[scootro]

Someone will have that trunk space ripped out and twin turbos in there before you know it.

no doubt!

[kingjason]

looks don't really impress me, and its out of my price range, so it's not like it matters what I think anyway.

Group buy! I bet we can finance it for 10 years.

GM is actively doing anything that they can to make them untunable. They are now able to read the ECM and update it wirelessly.

Good luck!

LS1 + “about 9” grand.

I hope this lowers the C6Z market

No manual transmission means I wouldn't buy one even if I could afford it. Shame too, because I like the looks.

Why not?

[Rick Modena]

Why not?

No shit, car looks pretty damn good, I thought the Stingray was the best Vette yet and this think comes out and it looks amazing. Whats there not to like, most mfgs. are using some form of a slushbox and they turn better times than a stick, sign me up.

[RWhite]

Sounds nice.....

I mean, this isnt even a slushbox, its a DCT, with paddles.

Exactly, for those that haven't driven a DCT, it's MUCH better than a slushbox, very mechanical feeling with good feedback

YUP! Not worried about the transmission at all. I respect that folks want to, "roll their own" but the fact is that the manual tranny is a performance laggard compared to just about any DCT on the market. If you wan't more control of the car, just the paddle shifters.

agreed.

I pulled the C4 out of my 69 and put a t3550 in. After lots of persuading, I broke down and bought a 4r70w and a controller for it. The controller makes all the difference in the world, it's actually pretty fun, and Im working on setting up paddle shift next. The DCT in my wife's escape is a different animal and I like it a lot.

[JC316]

Why not?

Because automatics are boring as fuck.

I don't care about performance times, I've had my 18 SS for a year and haven't taken it to the track once.

I've driven DCT cars, under powered ones, but still DCT. I still prefer the manual.

Again, not concerned about getting a few tenths in the 1/4 mile. You can't fly into a corner, drop from 5th to 2nd gear, pop the clutch and slide the rear end around with paddle shifters. You can't rev it up and dump the clutch, you can't bang 2nd gear with any kind of authority with a paddle shifter.


Basically, you can't drive like this with a damned paddle shifter.

If i didn't commute in DFW I might agree with you.

Give me the auto.
