IMO the .R looks absolutely stunning. I bet it will perform real well. What does everyone think?

 

[Michigander]

Great to see American Muscle sporting a mid engine!

 

[Blkout]

Yep, its a beauty and I bet its going to perform very well.

I'm going to have to go to the Rolex 24 in January to check it out!

 

[DGatzby]

I want one for my track pleasure. I guess I will begin buying lottery tickets this week.

Looks OK....but does it even have speakers to make engine sounds??

 

[DGatzby]

I doubt the .R has speakers. Damn, it better sound fairly sweet. Let's see what they put out in the next year or two for us regular guys in the upgraded versions. Looks like a guy could get one and do a couple little suspension tricks and have quite the machine to play with. Someone just give me five good numbers to play Saturday night, because the RE is staying put.

Sorry, I'm a "downer" on the new Corvette. I think it looks more like a Ferrari. Why the heck would they make a Corvette look like a Ferrari? This new R looks too much like the newest Ford GT. They have way too many sharp edges, shapes, angles and doo-dads for my taste. Yeah, they're cool in their own way, but I just can't get into the overall look.

 

[tkracing1]

I like the way it looks.

Like the Fiero!

 

[Hellion]

I like it. I think they need some credit with the car they produced. Once the Z06 or ZR1 comes out it will be 1/2 the cost of any Ferrari or Lambo.

I bought the Grassroots Motorsports ticket package a few months ago. Just lucky it will be their first race.

 

[Demon1]

I think it looks great and will be a tremendous success on the track. Corvette continues to carry the flag for domestic cars in elite level road course racing.

 

[Mean Cat]

I like it , American muscle at it's finest !

5.5L flat plane crank V8, 500hp/480tq in race form. It's a screamer. Lost that distinctive American V8 sound of the C7.R unfortunately. A version of the race engine will be available in the street car- https://jalopnik.com/the-corvette-c8-rs-flat-plane-crank-v8-is-coming-to-a-s-1838947143

Here's some noise-

Not to mention the blasphemous engine sounds threw your speakers. What was chevy thinking? What a joke.

 

[Proud American]

I think the new corvette is 👌. I could see myself behind the wheel of one once they get the bugs worked out.

 

[jroyk]

Sounds foreign.

 

[DGatzby]

Those pipes are shorter, no way it will thunder like two lines of long big pipes. As long as it blows by the others who cares?
