More Than 120 Corvettes Are Headed To the Crusher

On December 11th, 2021, an EF3 tornado touched down and caused unimaginable devastation to the state of Kentucky. The tornado, which reportedly measured 3/4 of a mile across at its widest, traveled across some 220 miles of the state before it finally dissipated. In its wake, it left 76 people dead, countless more injured and caused approximately $18 BILLION dollars worth of damage to homes, businesses, and cities across the Bluegrass state, with much of that damage in Mayfield and Bowling Green, Kentucky. TO BE CLEAR – the story that follows in this article is incidental compared to the devastation felt by so many. We also want to acknowledge everyone who has stepped up across the state to provide aid, shelter, or any other form of relief to the millions that were impacted by this horrible storm. We cannot wrap our heads around the loss that so many experienced, and we want to convey our most heartfelt regret for your loss.......

watched both videos... seems Chev have copied what Ferrari did in 2013 with the engine on the 458 Speciale
4.5 litres NA V8 making 495kw (669hp) at 9,000 rpm.. flat plane crank, lots of titanium innards
110kw per litre makes it the most powerful v8 NA engine .. ever said Ferrari (their advertising)

for GM to do this .. now seems amazing to me

I just looked up he Ferrari 458 Speciale here...

I think you have a typo, it says " 445 kW (605 cv) at 9000 rpm " which is 596.75 hp.

The Ferrari has a crazy high compression ratio at 14:1 too, helping them extract so much power out of it. The Z06 is lower at 12.5:1 compression ratio.


The C8 ZR1 is still to launch yet, which usually occurs a year or so after the Z06 release.

The ZR1 always surpasses the Z06 performance / power levels, so its going to be very interesting to see what the new ZR1 brings to the table.

Rumors are the C8 ZR1 will be a twin turbo version of the C8 Z06 engine.


Then finally, there is the " Pièce de résistance " The C8 Zora...... which is rumored to come a year after the C8 ZR1, with the C8 ZR1 twin turbo engine plus... hybrid-electric drive train, with electric motors driving the front wheels as well... for a combined ~ 1000HP...

Very Juicy Times Ahead...
