well most people(not true car enthusiasts) only care about the HP, so if it loses HP going to the next generation I can see people being upset. But you are right, it will be a much more exciting engine.

Sounds great but there is a huge waiting list on this car and even regular C8.

c7 z06's dyno what ? 550whp and was advertised as 650
so this c8 will probably dyno 520. really just depends on how heavy they make it. the current z51 is surprisingly porky at 3600 pounds hope the c8z is lighter but i doubt it.

SAE crank horsepower is what's advertised for GM vehicles. I've seen no data that indicates they aren't making SAE advertised HP. My LT1 dynos just over 400hp to the wheels, which makes it petty much on spot with the drivetrain losses and advertised SAE horsepower.

You should see some(minority) of the old fart C7 Z06 owners already trying to talk shit on the Vette forums. They don't get their beloved Corvette finally got a touch of European and a touch of class. All they care about is the good ole boy Murica ponies. This quite literally might end up being one of best NA engines ever put in an American production car. Mid engine sports car with dual clutch and 8500+ rpm flat plane crank V8 for well under $100k. What is there to complain about?

no argument but in a price to performance ratio there are few(if any) cars out there that will touch it I'm willing to bet.

It doesn’t need as much power to be a better car due to proper engine placement. How do you think 911s keep up with 100 less hp? Base 992 911 performs fairly similarly to a C8. I realize pricing is different.

https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2...n-test-review/ Plus, all the Corvette QC issues, I decided to back out of the Corvette. My 911 has none of those issues. I realize it seems like most of the Corvette issues are now gone but it’s still disconcerting. |

Yes but thats a bit apples to oranges? Porsche has never been designed for straight line performance. Regardless, I'm on the wait list at 3 different dealers for new z06....

Pricing for any decent car right now is F'd, new or used. There are some that have had Z06 deposits for over a year and have msrp deals. So not completely uncommon. P-car dealers have 1.5-2 year wait for 992 allocations, any model including base. Anything in inventory has huge markups.
