Once you get north of 100, aero has an effect on trap speed as well.
C8 Corvette making potential GT500 buyers rethink their options

What are the TQ numbers on the vette? Much better than my 414rwtq I'll bet...enough to trap 122? Perhaps id say

Looks like buying your vette for the 1st year will make GM loss money on about every base vette made.

Smart business move GM, Not! Everyone that gets one for that price the 1st year and if it goes to 80K the next year will have some positive equity.

Could be a hell of a deal.
How many years are they factoring R/D costs into to final product?
$500 million in r/d cost over a 1 year run of 30k units is $16k+. Same r/d costs over 5 years and 150k units is about $3k per unit. That’s a big difference.

Let’s hope this means the C8Z will ring in at under 100k to start and it will be hard to resist buying one
I may or may not have already replied to this as an in favor......however now taking over the car and restoration of a Pantera, **** a mid engine.
And that's an easy one compared to any modern car with 58k sensors
I'm willing to bet that it starts at 100K for base.
I’m guessing 90-95k base, either way I’ll be waiting to see how it turns out. It may just be the one car in that price cap that I would want more then a GenV viper
I agree.. And at that price... Wow just crazy. Let the GT500 butt ****ing begin lmaoooooooooooooo
That crowd is already chanting fake news if the gt500 loses to anything.
I don’t think this makes the GT500 out to be any less of a stellar vehicle if the C8Z trounces it, it really should be expected.
Personally the only appeal to the GT500 for me though is that I could fit my son in the back so it would be a more family friendly weekend ride.
The GT500 should not even compete with the last z06. A heavy 4 seat car that starts life as a cheap coupe should not be close!
A purpose built light(in today’s world) blown sports coupe meant to compete with vehicles 3 times its price should destroy all mustangs and Camaros. Yet it does compete and beat the outgoing vette. And competes with the ACR the one who set all those track records. That’s phenomenal!
Of course the new one with the advances will out do the soon to be 20 GT500. So will the new 992 turbo and GT3 at least I think they will.
mom actually not shocked it’ll compete with the previous C7Z as it is the newest top tier offering from ford. As far as 4 seats we’ll the only thing fitting in them is young kids. Still it has 4 seats and weighs a lot so it gets massive credit. As far as hanging with the ACR that is quiet the feat but also took years to make it happen and a substantial price jump in its market segment so it’s not too crazy to see it happen.
it’s an impressive offering from ford that’s for sure. I’ll be curious to see how high above it’s normal class it now punches. I surely wouldn’t be sad to have one in my garage but if the C8Z is all that’s expected it would be damn hard for me to choose the GT500. We’ll see what the boss has to say when the time comes aka the wife, though she did ask the other day when does the new vette hit dealers lots lol
Seeing as the Mustang is (basically) the last car in Ford’s lineup, it had better kick some a$$.
When has a new svt mustang kept up with the old z06? Let alone beating it?
03 or 07 vs c5z? No
11 or 13 vs c6z? Not a chance.
