Not a Chevy guy and never going to buy a Corvette, but I am glad to see where they are going. I'm also a bit jealous that Dodge / SRT aren't going there...
I love HP and want to keep the American V8 alive - I want it to be the hemi, but I would much rather it be a Chevy or even Ford if Dodge won't do it, than any European or Japanese version of muscle...

That was a good video, enjoyed the techie stuff about the car. Looks like Chevy taking over the halo power war but I bet this car is very expensive.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought HC's have been doing 200 for over 9 years now.

'Bout time GM joined the club!

There was an article in the Detroit Free Press today and it said GM was going to release pricing closer to start of production but it was expected to around $150,000. I’m sure if that’s an accurate MSRP there’ll be a huge ADM that’ll add another $100 G’s.

 

[Speedy!]

That's less then I'd expect for MSRP but yeah ADM will abound for sure.

I’m guessing if that’s accurate it’s probably the base price and you can get to $200 G’s real quick.

All 5000lbs of them.

31 lbs of thrust is an interesting number!

TOP SPEED TEST - 2.3 MILE TRACK

2015 Challenger Hellcat

198 mph ... into a headwind

This Vette is exceeding 215mph. Whole different ball game.

 

[mopar madness]

if we are talking just acceleration its still going to lose against the plaid or Saphire

Traded a '90 ZR1, for first HC. Great car, but 30 years way different ball game!

This Vette is exceeding 215mph. Whole different ball game.

Only because of the aero. Pull the wings off and power it with a Hellcrate, and it’s 215 all day.

 

[RetiredFirefighter]

A Vette exceeding 215mph. That is a whole different ball game alright.

Because at probably double the price of an HC ... the Vette has literally been ejected from the ball game.

Sorry, I didn't know people cared about comparing sought after muscle/sports cars to flashlights-on-wheels.

I just checked the run logs from land speed trials at Loring last week. The C8's topped out at about 168-170 in the 1mi and about 178 in the 1.5mi, with one hitting 181 once. My M6 did 174/185. A NH woman brought her 2016 A8 and did 177 in the 1mi.

No Z06's from what I know.
No C7's
One modded C6 normally aspirated did 193.
A ZL1 Camaro did 171/181.

HC's are really great cars

If I had a "salvage" HC, I would do this!
