Joe Handley Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Peteski is right, it's an automated manual, sounds like it's quite the set up from what it looks like in this video too! Be interesting if that ever finds it's way into the Camaro or any other future RWD cars, even if it was backing one of the 4 or 6 cylinder engines. Would be interesting if this could be set up with a torque tube assembly like the C5-C7 Vettes and the Plymouth/Chrysler Prowler. Maybe even adapt it to a V-6 and FWD layout like the Chrysler LH cars used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I don't like the black scoop-edges on the sides. If/when I build my model of this, those will be body color. (You can put me down for a snapper/curbside kit.) Still don't care for the front end, which looks too much like half of everything else on the road today, but ah shucks oh well I guess that's what cars look like now.

STYRENE-SURFER Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I really wanted wanted to like this new Vette. But the new trend of shoving the wheels to the front and back just make for a blunt and not graceful profile. Oh and those designers most have been playing Pin The Tail On The Donkey with that rear quarter panel inlet. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I think it would be a little better with a longer nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that is pre-production, so that could be a GM Employee or a "journalist" of some sort, plus it on a twisty mountain road, I wouldn't be shocked if the driver of that appliance crossover isn't exactly innocent here.

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Gee willikers. If it had been a self-driving car, that couldn't possibly have happened, because computers are infallible and never ever crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 That's definitely pre-production as I don't think actual production starts till later this year. Could have been worse....imagine that thing rolling over the hill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video that the Vette picture is taken from is part of this article, I think that appliance in front of the Ranger has it's right rear corner sitting on that guardrail, on top of the left rear corner ripped off the vehicle.

misterNNL Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I just watched one of the linked videos posted above and for you big guys the maker of the video is 6'5" and 300 lbs and fit very easily into the cockpit with extra headroom available.

misterNNL Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I saw my first C8 yesterday. It was a white one headed south on I75 here in west central Ohio at about mile post 110. It's a real eye grabber at speed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vette is nice, but for the money I could buy myself a killer Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
