Maybe it is. I can't keep up with every detail. I honestly thought I heard them say it was going to be lighter when they had the press release.

Well seems they pulled a Ford move lol. They knew it was going to be heavier, didn't want to say it so they only gave the dry weight lol

Well, according to today's press release, 4,225 for the base, something less (4,100-ish) for the CFTP. About 125 - 200 more than I thought. I was thinking 4,100 for base, 3,900 for CFTP. This will help goose the discussion that I'll be attending tomorrow. Tim Kuniskis, Carl Widmann, and Ed Piatek all on the same panel. I'm assuming Ed will be driving a C8, so I'll finally get a chance to see the finished product in the flesh.

It will also be interesting to see how the CFTP handles that weight on a track.

Oh and at 4225 pounds I highly doubt the Base GT500 will beat a standard ZL1 around a track. That is a LOT of weight. For reference the Hellcat weighs 4448 pounds. The Redeye weighs 4,436 pounds. The ZL1 weighs 3,933 pounds. And the ZLE weighs about 60 pounds less than the standard ZL1 so that makes approx 3,870 pounds.

I gotta say, at $74K (not including markups) and 4225 pounds as compared to the $64K ZL1 at 3933 pounds, GM is really putting a beating on Ford. It really is a shame. That extra HP is not going to help it especially when the GT500 will be nose heavy and the ZL1 is well balanced.
Even at less than $60K and approx 3400 pounds the Base C8 is going to destroy the Base GT500. And I'm betting that the 1LT Z51 will eat up the CF GT500. If it is true that the Z51 beats the current Z06, then there is no hope for the GT500 at all. And the sad thing is that everyone was waiting for the GT500 to come in and save the day. Sorry Ford guys. Maybe next Gen. LOL, just for laughs. I knew you'd get a kick out of that. Good sport!! |
