Might have Zora on it somewhere, in honor of the man himself.

Nothing to do with the Stingray. Little bit of history.

Looks like a fair amount of understeer?

More throttle please! [thumbsup]

I haven't owned a GM vehicle in a couple of decades, nor wanted one.

The latter part of the statement just changed.

They knocked it out of the park. Can’t wait to see the ZO6, and especially the ‘R’ after Corvette Racing gets done with their cars.

I believe it is the C8R. I'll be putting a deposit down on the Z06. Had the C7 Z08, and it was insane. Got out of it at the right time too, as prices have plummeted.

I think you’re right, going by the steering wheel and massive wing anyway. That’s awesome you’re gonna get the 6. This car is absolutely stunning.

My current preference is Elkhart Lake Blue Z51, carbon fiber accents, black interior with yellow stitching and belts...and a big ass WANG!

LOL, I've been abusing the shit out of the configurator too.  ;D

Too bad I just bought a new truck, my dreams of my C8 will have to wait a bit.  :P

I saw my first one yesterday. I seriously thought it was a Lamborghini at first. I hope it grows on me.

Corvette Racing took 1-2 in GTLM today and last week. Great job by both teams. 🇺🇸🏁
