Someone got better photos of the cars in Colorado. Looks like it's still a variation on the LT2 engine. But why the different VIN code?

Saw this one posted on Reddit. From this angle and in this color, it looks "OK" but maybe need to see it in a different color? I think maybe darker ones that hide the weird lines I might like more?

I really don't like that color..

I'm not a fan of that color either, however I love the Elkhart Lake metallic blue.

Yep far more on board with that one.

Is that a turbo in there in top right?

The brake booster?

[quote=""Chris GTO TT""]The brake booster?[/quote]

No. In the red box. That is the back of the car, not where the brake booster is...And it has what appears to be an O2 sensor sticking out of it, and a heat shield around the rest...

That's a catalytic converter.

If the CAD leaks are accurate, turbos will hide down on the sides. The cars I saw in Detroit certainly had a big enough empty void there.

Ah yeah I went back and looked at those CAD drawings again.

Maybe this is just the flat plane crank engine, and the turbos come later?

Wonder if they do the turbo route (pretty good assumption) if they'll use the flat plane crank for it, since a flat plane crank is better for a V8 Turbo?

Or if that has already been theorized, ignore this post.

“Car show” trophies. It got better when he took his jacket off lol. Even has a braided leather belt

While the shirt is impressive it's no where near as ugly as the Miata Hawaiian shirts

Can I get a shirt with 3/s’s on them?

Car show trophies....

You bought a car, you show up somewhere, they give you a trophy. Yay.

This kind of shit makes me think a Corvette may not be the right car for me. But still, I like them. Just not THAT much.

To be fair he was just making fun of the typical Corvette owners. He plans to drive it and use it for what it was intended for, much like you and Jeff.

His other cars include. 997 GT3 RS, BMW M3, and a BMW M5.

KC supposedly has one of the biggest Corvette clubs in the country. Based on their website, their primary activities are dinner, car shows and leisurely cruises. Guess why I haven't gone to see them?
