C8 Corvette Reveal

The nsx is waaaaay sexier.

 

I tried to find something close to the same angle but this is the best I could do. The Vette is $140,000 less than the Acura and they look like damn near the same car to me.

 

well when you don't have to pay to design and just copy another, there are some cost savings. Also, the NSX is not 200K, they were actually discounted 25K recently, so like 125K and well it's a Honda, it'll should last forever.

 

The 'vette is less than $20K? Cool!!!

 

I'm going by what just popped up on my FB feed a couple of hours ago.

And you know, I did a quick Google history of wedge shaped cars. Guess what...they pretty much all look the same. Every one of them was copied from the very first design because there's only so many ways to interpret a wedge.

 

See my post. Just like the Vette, the NSX can be dressed up with as much crap as you can afford. I simply picked the first one I saw because truth be told I could really give less than a turd about an NSX.

I think the new NSX and Supra are two hideous vehicles. But, plenty here hate the new Vette too. Isn't it nice that we have choices

 

Imma get 3 of them fancy malibus

 

That immediately came to my mind, too.

 

So, overhead cam, but only 2 valves per cylinder?

 

i thought they were always like this?

 

Pushrods.

 

Always pushrods, except the LT5 found in the C4 ZR-1.

 

really BIG valves though

 

So happy GM didn't trend with the small displacement turbo crowd. The na version will will still have the booming sound and plenty of power to spare. Add a supercharger or heaven forbid a couple of turbos and there ain't much on the planet that makes the power of an LS without hybrid systems. If you never heard the C7.r on track there is nothing like it.

Other than Brabham what other na V8 mid engine production cars are out there? And the Brabham sadly ain't street legal.

 

You got a hairdresser ??

 

Holy ugliness.

 

I assume all the top models are wind tunnel tested...Ever wonder why all jet liners look the same?

 

The cheapest cars going into the wind tunnel as well. It's very important for fuel economy.

 

Nope, use to be 1 cam in the block with pushrods.
Went to overhead cams but maintained 2 valves per cylinder.

 

I don't know why, but I kinda dig this combo
