Leaked mid-engine C8 Corvette specs hint at big performance gains
e’ve seen a few basic specs for the mid-engine Corvette, but we may now have even deeper insight courtesy of a user on CorvetteForum. The recent posting shows a few pictures of an alleged spec booklet for the new sports car; some of the information matches what General Motors has already made public, but there is plenty else to unpack. Assuming this leak is accurate, gear ratios, weights, and more are now out there in the open. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-vid...corvette-specs |

I was reading yesterday that Porsche has brought back their manual transmission in the new 911. The first new ones that are out now are paddle-shift automatics but the manuals will be out in a little while.

Engine sounds like a well tuned Ferrari V12. Obviously a flat plane crank if it is a V8. Smokey Yunick (and a few other since) built some monstrous octopus looking headers that had all the puslsed timed correctly and it sounded similar, but not quite how a flat plane crank V8 sounds.
