Equal length headers from the factory. Very nice
Yeah I noticed that too, betting GM picked up some good power over the LT1 headers. The LT2 specs concerning bore, stroke, displacement, compression, cylinder heads appear to be the same. I would guess intake tract and cam profile are probably different as well to pick up the 30 ish hp and 10 ft lbs of tq.
After seeing this I can't wait to see what insurance premiums will be
Way to poo-poo the excitement in this thread. LOL
LOL but seriously if you take a hit from behind I'll bet every insurance company totals every one of them out
Did you check at the front corner? A radiator at each one.
That won't be cheap either.
I still like though.
My Z06 cost me 60 dollars a month full coverage, married and was in my early 30s when I had that car. I think they weigh a lot of factors, chief among them number of incidents in that car model. My 14 mustang gt still runs me about 115 a month and I’m 40 now, go ****ing figure. Cheap disposable S197 shitbox costing almost 2x a month vs my vette. The point is insurance companies don’t see the corvette or their owners as being a risky group to insure. Muscle cars like mustangs and camaros etc are seen as punk cars with a lot more incidents, risks.
This is a big deal. I was messing around one day with my insurance after lusting after a 911.
My regular old Mustang GT cost the same as a 997.2 Turbo S to insure...
911s don't get wrecked very often.
Those factory headers r beautiful................ Can't believe they can offer this car for $60k. I gotta think it will sell like fooking hotcakes. Everyone will be waiting on a long list.... errr, except Jay Leno of course.
Anyone know why it has such a large "transmission" tunnel? It has to be for something in the future.
You thinking some AWD action?
My guess... Chassis stiffness/strength, not much else holding the car together in the cabin area.
My 91 GMC stepside costs about $100 a month for liability cus I keep backing into other cars.

That’s the backbone. Mid engined cars typically run their structural pieces that connect the front and rear subsections along the outside of the car. As a result, there is usually a large sill that the occupants needs to climb over, making ingress/egress a little more complicated. Given the vette’s high practicality quotient, they chose to utilize a central backbone design instead, which makes for a more “normal” entry and exit. Hope that makes sense.
Yea imagine taking that center section away, it would look like one floppy jalopy
The only thing missing on those headers are a pair of hairdryers... This car will be made stupid fast stupid easy IMO.
