The new Corvette

Looks like a Ferrari in the front and a Camaro in the back.. there will be so many on the streets here in the US, it will be boring in my opinion. Now.. what about the Maclaren GT!?

I was looking at a McLaren 570s Spider last week. The build quality was shocking, panel gaps the size of the Grand Canyon, seals sticking out, visible glue all over the place. It made an 80s Lotus look well built!

Lovely! Lot less power than the outgoing car though. Which is a bit strange.

The current base Corvette has 460HP, while the base mid-engined 2020 Corvette will have 495HP. The current ZO6 and ZR1 have significantly more horsepower as I anti ipate those versions of the mid-engined car will. The new car is getting mixed reviews on Corvette Forum

Base car yes. But you can get a Corvette with 650bhp so less to start with.

Zo6 version will be a weapon. I like it, a proper departure from the old styling.

And when Chevrolet releases the mid-engine ZO6 and then the ZR1 (or whatever names they choose) they will be significantly more powerful than the current upscale models. It's how Chevrolet does it.

I suspect it won't sound anywhere near as good hammering round Le Mans. Renders make the racer look a lot like a 488.

From the sound clips I've heard, it's awesome!

Chuck a no holds barred sports exhaust on, and I'm sure it won't be far off the current LM car.

The sound of the Vettes is the only thing worth going to LM for now.

Personally I don't like the new shape but at 60k USD it's not got much direct competition.

Based on this, the road car sounds better!
