^^^All these flavors and you chose salty..

Are you talking to me? If so, that noise is no different than a subway train speeding up.. it's a step, granted, but long ways to go.
Car surely is great piece of engineering, no doubt.
Curious how all the weight feels tracking..

^^^ kind of like the electric whine on top of the V8 song. Like a space ship supercharger

I agree...I absolutely love the sounds...

I bet it will do great on the track! Front wheels pulling you through and out of corners.
With the weight it will be like the teslas that track- just super hard on brake pads, rotors and tires.
BUT with super car performance you should start to expect to pay near super car consumables

CCBs are standard equipment. Awesome for the street but man the consumable costs on track are stomach churning. One of the reasons I didn't get another ZR1 or the Z07 package.

I hope they build an E-Ray with the LT6. The supplemental TQ from the electric motor along with the 8600RPM redline would be the ultimate combo.

That is apparently what the Zora will be

There are lots of rumors about the ZR1, Zora, etc.. mostly around forced induction. I think the LT6 E-Ray would sit in between the current offerings and Zora or ZR1 but obviously all just speculation.

C8 Corvettes, CTV-4 and CTV-5 Blackwings can now have their ECU/ECM unlocked stateside by HP Tuners.

"HP Tuners now supports GM’s new generation E99 ECM with their GM E99 ECM Service. Once upgraded, start scanning, data logging, reading, editing, and writing to your vehicle via its OBDII port.

You’ll get access to engine parameters like boost, camshaft timing, air/fuel ratio, injector timing, ignition timing, rev limiters, torque management and hundreds more to build a customized tunes for your vehicle needs and modifications, performance wants, and driving situations."

This is actually pretty huge news.

This is actually pretty huge news.

Do you think that means that the Supra unlock may be coming stateside soon with this news?

 

[Avarela99]

Now ppl can actually run high boost on these cars should be interesting to see how these turn out

Apples and oranges I'd think. One is made by GM in US with cybersecurity engineers sleeping on the job with support from whomever.. Other is made by Bosch with German robots .

Hey man I'm one of those cybersecurity engineers...Well not working for GM at least lol.

I don't, but there's a ton of room for fast C8s and CTS-Vs in some of the classes I race in.
