fvs c7 to c8 transform animation

[fvs]

this animation is based on the wheel size and intended to show the size and scale once again.

Note that the wheel base seems VERY close and the height of the roof, beltline and grill are near identical.

C8 looks FASTER!

Thank you very much fvs! I remember your doing scaling calc about six months ago. I really like your today’s animation.

[C8Driving]

That is fun. Thank you FVS.

[MidEngine]

Very nice. Thank you fvs.

[bobbytinvab]

agree with all above ... nice job FVS

[Shadow]

FVS, you always have interesting things to share. Thanks.

[MidEngine]

At the risk of offending, when I look at the C7 it looks like in comparison that its mass in sitting on its heels, while the C8 is rearing to pounce forward.

[fvs]

^^Seems about right.

driver position seems about 10-12 inches forward. Almost dead center between the wheels. Should feel very different to drive.

Spectacular FVS!

I like C8 better in proportion than C7. With C8 we should be able to the see the front of the car and where the hood ends. The first time I sat in a Lambo, I said "OMG, I can see the road now"

Agreed - i didn't realize how much more "agressive" the stance of the C8 is over the C7. And i always thought my Stingray was agressive looking!

The "bullet" front and tapered rear of the C8 definitely makes it appear more aggressive. At first I thought the profiles were very similar, but when the video replays and snaps back to the C7, I think you see the difference best. I like the C8 render, I just hope it's accurate!

It's amazing what you can see when you get that massive engine compartment out of the way.

Sitting back from the advantage point of today, one wonders how come it took GM so long to get to the C8 production capabilty where they will be able to take advantage of so many inherent advantages to having the motor/transaxle roughly over the rear wheels, that the ME configuration is so far superior in terms of handling, acceleration, braking, steering and more.
