Interviews with Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

No, not really. Power to-weight ratios would not work.
And I insist on calling it the C8 Corvette.

Corvette fans get pretty butthurt about it being a Corvette

Which Corvette fans are these? I’ve been lurking on corvetteforum and everybody there seems pretty excited. I think the switch to ME was a necessary change IMO

Also known as all the deep-pockets Youtubers who want something cheaper and "more American" than an R35 GT-R.

If the internet had a body, hemorrhoids would start in the YouTube comments section.

I'd like to know if the base trim will have an i6

No it will not

 

[Dominator19]

It's not going to be that easy

Still no manual. I did hear that Toyota and Getrag are on speaking terms though when I asked if they would be bringing discontinued parts back for the A80. Take that however you want

 

[solidsamir]

No it will not

Aww

 

[Dominator19]

Aww

I believe Tada already said if you plan on 2jz swapping it then you should go for the 4cyl!

Ya I know, I think A7 hinted at the possibility of the lower trim having an i6 as well. Did he give any indication as to the price range?

That determines how you interpret trim. For example, you can get both base and F-sport trim of the GS300 and GS350 and both base and premium trim of the Ecoboost and GT Mustangs.

I have found several VINs with US spec 4 cylinder models as posted in the 4 cylinder thread

I bet it's like talking to an old ex for Toyota

Toyota: "I know we've been through ups and downs, and things might've not ended well.....but I want...no....need you back".

Hahaha, jk!
