When we were out there a couple weeks ago we heard they were testing in the area but never saw them. We did see a Ford pickup and two Mercedes test cars.

As nice as they are to look at and drive, the altitude is so high you give up 25-35% of your power. Its really noticeable.

This is the sound of a C7-R

Now here is the sound of the C8-R

https://m.soundcloud.com/sportscar365/corvette-c8r-sound-revealed

Doesn’t sound like the 5.5L C7-R. More like a 4.01L Porsche GT3 RS.

Sounds more like the Ford GTLM V6 Ecoboost?

Forgot the Ecoboost link

Great story by the Corvette Chief Engineers over time about the development of a mid-engine Corvette slated for 2019-20.

I think they’re testing the C8R in those pics.

I feel there will finally be a mid-engine corvette. Hopefully it will be under $100K price point.

One more year with the C7R and then the C8R will challenge the Ford GT and Porche 911’s...

I’m pumped, but will still happy with my C4 ZR-1. [emoji16]
