I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't want to sell the C7 for a few more years to recoup the engineering and tooling costs.

Guys bought every $100K-plus C6 ZR1 that Chevy could produce, even in a scary economy, and they'll buy these too.

There is nothing like this running around and this picture would be all over everything if this were an actual car. I for one hope GM builds it but PLEEEEEEEEASE don't put a V6 in it. If it does happen it's a shame Zoras not here to see it.

From the Car and Driver article........"A notable power upgrade to the C8 will occur in January 2019, attributable to a new four-cam, 32-valve V-8 set to be presented at NAIAS."
Well, they can have their new fancy V-8. I'll still take the original legend every time

I agree with you. This , besides our beasts, is the first Corvette in a long time to peak my interest.....I'm still having a blast with the front engined variety Corvette. One thing I just thought of, I wonder if they will go after our original legends world record runs?
