2020 Corvette

[Caper11]

I love the hell cat, but the corvette is just sexy lol
490 h/p and under 3 seconds for 80k and will compete with the 911 turbo for a fraction of the price, now the Corvette just needs to step up and offer all wheel drive to launch

I dont think it’s needed, have you watched top gear with the demon against the lambo AWD car? The demon got the holeshot and the race.

put some corners on the track and the results might change? lol

the purpose of mid engine is so it corners better than it would having all that weight out front....

Joey does a good job, funny

you could go to castrol raceway on any given weekend and find 10,000$ cars that would beat a stock vette in the quarter mile.

that's not the point of the car. it's a awesome looking Imo 3 second, some what affordable sports car with warranty that will be a blast to drive in the mountains and get a few looks a long the way.


my sister spent 80k on a mercades suv, crossover mini van looking pos that I wouldn't buy in a million years. if you dot get it you don't get it.

choices are good, I'd choose the vette over a hell cat, but nothing wrong with the hell cat. everyone knows they are fast.

I usually hate corvettes! I don’t see why so many people like them. But this new one is pretty sweet looking! I agree the horse power isn’t as much as I thought but should handle like crazy. And considering the market that these car are in it a steal compared to any other rear engine car!

I personally prefer the styling of the C7 much more over this, but I also don’t care for the mid engine style of car in general. Maybe my mind will change when I see it in person.

80000 bucks for a 500hp car??? Yah I dont think so.

Is that 500hp to the back wheels?
That is about 625-650 at the crank or only 57ish less than a hellcat with better 0-60.
Should beat a hellcat and be able to turn around at speed to go back for another run.
I like it!

It’ll be at the crank

Then it's lacking but still fastish.

Vette looks cool, but it looks like a ferrari, and the engineers for some reason went away from that in favor of a Italian exotic styling.

American muscle is just that, and always has been. Heavy car with a huge engine under the hood, and is no comparison to a exotic mid engine on a road course.

I think it’s interesting times in the new generation muscle car era, dont think the vette will be apart of this one tho.

I like the 19 vettes too. maybe even more than the 20. haven't seen one in person yet.

I'd drive this.

It’ll be a lot lighter than a muscle car, and I’m sure the tuned versions won’t be lacking!

That vette is a sharp car!
I just went through this same argument with my brother a few weeks ago. I cant get onboard with what chev/GM has does with its styling engineering lately. Goes with the truck styling as well. Ford on the other hand, I would have a mustang in the garage. I love the new GT500.

 

[Cableguy]

at least its still a v8 too

People have mentioned low horsepower for the base model...any mention of the weight? Probably a good power to weight ratio.

Its claimed dry weight is 3366lbs.

 

[catalac]

If the released 0-60 times are correct the only thing a stock hellcat will see is tail lights 2.8 seconds with 495hp vs give or take 3.5 secs with 700hp. 3346 lbs vs 4470 lbs makes a big diff.

 

[jhurkot]

Not sure what to think about this new design. I think I like the 2019 body style a lot more.

 

[Rene G]

Its claimed dry weight is 3366lbs.

That’ll do

Nice looking car. The vettes are always sweet looking cars. 495 hp is sub par for that car though IMO. Doesn't the Cadillac supercharged model make more hp? With the Camaro being phased out by Chevy in the next couple years that car should be the bread winner in hp numbers I'm thinking?

i am sure higher hp versions will follow soon.
