Introducing the first ever 4500lb Corvette. I am sure it will be fast though

4500 is probably generous. Interested to see how it performs though. The C8 already had worse roadholding and braking performance than the C7.

i hope to never be forced to have a electric car. i firmly believe they will prove to be worse for the environment than internal combustion.
everyone should watch the documentary "planet of the humans". |

Naw it won't be 4500 lbs. But 4000 sure. It's going to be a low-capacity performance oriented single motor hybrid for the front wheels only. It'll take a tenth or two off 0-60 and 1/4 mile and maybe give an extra 5 or so mpg in town. Cost ya $50k more, and be even more unicorn than the c8 already is.
Yet still, I'm intrigued |
