It is indeed. Hopefuly the C8 provides the firm slap across the face that Ford needs. Why flaunt what you aren't selling? Who thought the HP puzzle was a good idea? How much longer does Ford shy away from how fat this thing is? Where's the build and price or more detailed specs?
My blood runs blue but whoever is steering the ship has it pointed the wrong way.
I would think you would still want heat extractor vents up front since there are still radiators up front!You don't need the vents and bump for the supercharger in the front since there isn't a motor there anymore. lol Bad render!
We should rename the 2020 GT500 section to the 2020 GT500 & C8 Vette section with how much C8 content I'm reading lately lmao.
Thats only going to be true in a straight line. Fact is, people are cross shopping the platforms and some people care about more than roll racing. A C8Z51 and a handling pack GT500 will likely be very close on all other metrics. Im looking forward to the Randy pobst tests likely next summer.I don't know who else needs to hear this, but the base and z51 c8s are not comparable to a gt500.
Only magazine racers that cant comprehend what they are reading think so
Conversely, i know of, as of this afternoon 30+ c8s being ordered. Roughly 10 are shop cars, the rest private. Thats a metric sh*t ton for a week, and only going to get worse.
Gotta be specific which 500, because a base 500 will not be faster than a Z51 on a road course. Im not sure what tire comes on the handling pack so I retract that comment until I know.I don't believe that for a second.
1st is performance,
Base vs 500
0-60 means nothing, ford
1/4 mile ford
Roadcourse ford
Price c8
Seats 4 ford
Exclusivity ford
Z51 vs 500
0-60, means nothing z51
1/4 mile ford
Roadcourse ford
Price c8
Seats 4 ford
Exclusivity ford
Within 3 months you will be tired of seeing low end stock c8s driving around ( untunable) Nearly every model mustang will drag its ass
Much like all the msrp deals amd im not buying because manual posters, i feel most "cancelled " gt500 orders were never real to begin with.
Case in point, im very in tune with the performance car world on the east coast. I know of 10 gt500 buyers, myself inlcuded. 1 was 100% to flip. 7 are shop owners, 1 is private/part time/development buyer.
3 of those are smaller shops and more like.private than business buyers
Of those 10 total, only 1 has canceled his order to get a c8.

Great lookong car, not going to be competitive for a long time.
So you can call it fact that the 500 will win in all categories but price? Talk about hipocracy, I've never once mentioned 0-60 being important.odd you can say whats faster without a specific # from either so i find that funny. Even more funny you find 0-60 more important than anything.
so please, give me 3 cars, 3 2017+ cars that you feel are rival to the C8, no price exclusion
and then 3 best 2017+ cars from 55-65k that can compete with the c8
i'll wait
** and yes, eclusivity plays a larger part in fun toy purchase than a 0-60
Faster/longer straight= much longer braking zone, that difference in hp becomes very little. Given that they are on the same tire but the Corvette is on an obviously superior mid engine chassis and at least 500lbs less itll entry and exit speeds will be much faster than the shelby. And this is where hp is virtually meaningless.Yeah, knowing the z51 has under 500hp I dont care... at 3500lbs it shouldn't beat 760hp 4k lbs car on any track that let's the Ford get into 3rd/4th gear

If you were well tuned on how cars work on a road course you'd understand that a MPS4S+ no aero + 4100lbs + 760Hp is a recipe for nothing great. Once the shelby has the Gt4 aero and the cup2 it will be a whole nother ballgame. I wish people would quit seeing a high HP number and automatically thinking oh yea, that'll do it.

your making these assumptions. how do you know? can you show me other 495chp cars that are beating even the gt350? then list their hp weight and price please. I want to dive into why your drawing these conclusions
