Two years isn't very long for the development of a new engine. That sounds like they just reworked the heads for better flow, added dynamic fuel management,... -
Do you mean Honda's VTEC which activates a high lift cam above a certain RPM? It uses pins to lock rocker arms together. Maybe a pushrod variant could...Leave a comment:

If they can engineer an axially sliding camshaft into a pushrod V8 then I predict we will be shocked by the power gains. Imagine perfectly optimized cam...Leave a comment:

We'll see. C&D has some good sources but they also make educated guesses that can turn out to be wrong....Leave a comment:

Thanks Fasttoys, very interesting info on the "M" button. Sounds like just the sort of BMW feature GM would copy and improve!...Leave a comment:

A FPC is highly doubtful with a displacement over 4.5L or so since the vibration would harm reliability/durability. Ford's FPC 5.2L Voodoo V8 has serious...Last edited by electroVette; 04-16-2019, 11:16 AM.Leave a comment:

There's a Zora button the steering wheel. Don't ask me what it does, maybe it energizes the Duntov Capacitor?

I see GM is still hiding those side scoops. Gotta leave at least one surprise....Leave a comment:

Good to know they're finally moving C7 stock....Last edited by electroVette; 04-11-2019, 12:01 PM.Leave a comment:

Have you heard anything, John? This seems too early for the reveal based on the 6 month delay, but maybe C7 inventory is forcing their hand? Just speculating...Leave a comment:

Actually what we've been seeing are PPV (production process validation) vehicles which were built at the end of last summer on the BGA line. The IVERs...Leave a comment:

That gap between the underbody aero cover and the camouflaged bodywork looks unfinished to my eye. Almost looks as if the plastic underbody cover is...Leave a comment:

Possible treatments for the top of the wheel where it's taped over?
Maybe a center OLED display for...what? Seems unlikely...Leave a comment:

Still wondering about the "Z" button. Apparently it's significant enough to cover with tape.

Tremec's 7-speed in-line FE/RWD DCT is indeed rated for 664 lb-ft of torque, but that is not the Tremec destined for the C8. Tremec has developed another...Leave a comment:

I'm expecting a rear trunk similar to that of the NSX, but larger. The CAD drawings show where the airbox ends quite short of the rear end, leaving a...Leave a comment:

Yep, in 2016 Tremec announced a new manufacturing facility in Wixom, MI.
Dissapointingly, I think we can dismiss the ZF DCT theory. There's...Leave a comment:

Well now, look what I found - a slide from a 2016 Tremec presentation. Tremec has two seperate DCT projects: one in-line DCT, and one transaxle DCT....

I'd forgotten that C&D article. Good point that the transaxle DCT is quite different in form from the front engine RWD gearbox DCT. It's not as...Leave a comment:
