Very nice! Your very own Whole Foods or New Seasons Market in your backyard. ?? Kinda like the old Fox body 'Stang's square/boxy front end.

What you gonna grow? Some of that devils lettuce?? Oh I knew that, I remember you stating that in past posts. Yeah, can't work from home too easily with that job haha.

Your company has you working in an office environment, not working from home?

I can't stand wearing a mask, if it's a good N95 that fits tight and can actually stop the virus from entering your airway then you can hardly breath and almost start asphyxiating yourself. A bandana or some sort of cloth can help, but I just can't stand masks of any kind, not claustrophobic just don't like crap on my face. I don't see masks being worn for a few years, it's only until they get a vaccine out within a year and I hear (my neighbor is a doc at the VA) that it will be like the seasonal flu once all the case data gets combined and released. There are all kinds of Coronaviruses out there that people have contracted and survived, this one is just tough on people with underlying conditions like diabetes or cardiovascular disease (congestive heart failure) those are the people that should be wearing masks to protect themselves. It still cracks me up when I see people wearing a mask and gloves while driving with the windows up and they're ALONE The only way for EV's to work is to have a home charging station like you said, you can't depend on public charging stations or that they'll be available when you get there, you can check apps like PlugShare that locates all brands of public station locations around the nation as long as the station is on the EVSE wireless network, but still not a guarantee. I never needed it working for Blink Network HQ'd here in Phoenix. I have a Level 2 240v 40amp home charging station (no EV currently) and I used our Corp. charging stations at work. I drove a company Chevy Volt that was actually kinda fun, pretty torquey dual traction motors, but I did miss the sound of the "real" ICE under the hood, the little 1.4L I4 (generator) engine sounded pretty much like a generator revving up and down randomly as it needed while on the hwy. I still think the Volt EREV was the best setup, no range anxiety with the gas motor and you could run either at anytime. Mine, she got 51 mpg combined, not too shabby with a lead foot like mine

Uh, that's a C6 ZR1, first one was 2009 so... You are all over the board like usual. You obviously haven't sat in a C8, I have and they are very nice, great fit and finish with leather, carbon fiber and polished aluminum trim everywhere inside with very comfortable and supportive seats as well. Even the C7 has a great very nice interior with great seats, you are stuck in 10+ years ago land.

LMAO! The ZR1 does a 20' burn out at the green and still stays with then smokes the AMG. Good stuff. Thanks for posting as well

Exactly, up until 110 mph the Porsche is barely faster, like a tenth of a sec. to 60. HA! 'Murica! ??

I never said AWD doesn't have better traction because obviously it does. I'm saying it adds a lot of weight and it's not always necessary. Lambo's are the porkers of the Italian exotics because of the AWD system. Zora will smoke a 911 TS even the C7 ZR1 is right on it's heels and C8 ZR1 will put the hurt on it. GM's eLSD rear diff. is pretty advanced and with Michelin PS Cup 2 rubber it'll be a good show.

Even if all C8 Corvettes had AWD would you want to take the chance that some knucklehead might slide into your car in the snow or ice? It's hardly ever my car or my driving that I have to worry about it's the moron who isn't paying attention driving a $500 hoopdy with no insurance and can't drive for sh!t.

0-60 and 1/4 mi.? Really? The C8 ZR1 will smoke a Carrera 4S, no competition. Corvette C8 is made as a track car first and foremost and does very well on the track, as designed, even as a current base model. FYI, even the C8 base model is getting under the 3 sec. mark to 60 mph by amateur owners. Lets put the C8 up against an actual comparable mid-engine car. The Ferrari 488 GTB 660hp RWD and 488 Pista 710hp RWD. Heck even the 812 Superfast front ME 789hp is RWD. it's called active aero and proper down-force. Notice how heavy the AWD Lamborghini's are compared to Ferrari's and Vettes? All manufactures are trying to keep weight down where possible. Zora at 1000hp definitely needs to be AWD and it will be.

Zora is AWD with the Hybrid setup! What part are you missing?! ZR1 could still very well end up having the Hybrid/AWD setup when it comes out, nothing set in stone from GM yet, but myself and others on here have faith in Team Corvette engineers. But not all Ferrari's are AWD so you couldn't say that right? You had to change it to Lambo to try to proof a meaningless point.

This big Vette guy has great info. from multiple sources.

Yeah, this cop was actually pretty cool said he had no choice and his hands were tied due to the city bureau policy. Basically, his supervisor would be looking for the citation or he would get written up. Pretty sh!tty.

Ownership costs will still not be like Ferrari or AMG maintenance. I was waiting to see if you'd catch it. The Blackwing LTA V8 that the LT6/7 are based off of is a Hot V TT V8 like the LT6/7 will be in the C8 for packaging and reduced lag. Not new territory for the General. Either way, these engines are going to be awesome in the C8. Traction won't be an issue with the Z06 as the base C8 has so much grip that guys are having a hard time getting the tires to spin to do burnouts with the 500hp LT2 with all nannies off. That's also why they moved the engine to mid ship...for better grip in the back. The Z cars and Zora will have wider, stickier Michelin PS Cup 2 tires as well.

Boosting engines (SC or TT) is definitely not new territory for GM. Recent past LSA and LS9 and current LT4 and LT5 are all modern boosted GM engines, with superchargers, but none-the-less boosted and they've been reliable engines. They've made a V8 Hybrid Tahoe/Yukon/Silverado/Sierra not that long ago ('08-'13) so also not new territory. I've driven a 2013 Tahoe Hybrid 6.0L V8, it was very smooth and quiet with a seamless transition between the two electric motors and the ICE V8, didn't sell well enough as it was too expensive for the time when the standard Tahoe started at $36k Hybrid started at over $50k, battery tech. just wasn't there yet. GM builds their LS/LT V8 engines to require minimal maintenance, including boosted setups. Ferrari's do require a ton of maintenance and they build them to that spec.

Problem with that logic is that when police get to the scene and it's a non-injury accident and they determine who was at fault, that driver will get a citation for "failure to control your vehicle" if they can't determine who was at fault (like a sideswipe) they will give both drivers a citation for the same infraction, happened to a buddy of mine here in Phoenix. It's standard protocol for most busy metro area PD's. They do it in Dallas and LA and probably NYC as well as others, it's mostly about extra revenue and 100% ?
