I've been waiting to see numbers on these.

This is a base model stingray right?

My father-in-law has been waiting impatiently for his. I have always been a vette fan and have mixed emotions about the 2020. These cars demand huge respect especially when MSRP is considered. I like the idea of the mid engine and wonder how long we will be waiting to see an AWD version. The lack of a manual clutch disappoints me and will reduce the fun factor in the roads. With modern electronics and driver aids the car should be pretty bland to drive anywhere except a track.

It’s like a 2-stroke vs 4-strike PWC. The new tech is faster and better looking but the old school rides are more fulfilling, exciting, and fun.

The best thing is with these 2020 models being a lower msrp than anyone ever  thought, makes a C7 more affordable. And a real nice C6 is now within reach for a lot more people. I'm one of those people. It's either that or a real nice Gen 5 Camaro. 

I almost pulled the trigger on a mint 2013 SS with 12,500 miles on it . It had a blown motor but he had a DR 525 crate motor still in the crate .

I had a trailer hooked up to the truck and cash in hand and it got sold before I got there. I could have probably got it for $16,000.

The DR525 (6.2) is a low maintenance dragstrip ready motor for bracket racing.

525 hp. 498 ft.lb torque.

A beast.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
