215 + MPH top speed.

I WANT!!!

Lots of other vids on YouTube.

Here's an announcement video from Chevrolet (23 minutes long);

If you like track videos, here's one with a camouflaged unit at the Nürburgring;

1. and to think I was once proud of my 82' Z28's 205 HP 😉 nt

2. They have come a long way from those days!

5.5 liter engine is a bit over 335.6 Cubic Inches. So getting 1064 HP out of it is a bit more than 3 HP to the cubic inch!

3. On account of all the high speed chases we hear about

with people getting hurt or killed, it would not surprise me if law enforcement agencies some day will
want cars manufactured with a top speed of say 85 mph and police cars with a 100 mph limit.

5. The technology already exists where a cop can get a car shut down...

specifically one equipped with OnStar, like my 2024.

If it gets stolen I can call OnStar, locate the vehicle and when a cop gets behind it, have it shut down.

It's not too far a technological leap to being able to do that to any vehicle at any time.

9. Most cars already can tell you how fast you are allowed to go.

Time to use that to limit speeds, especially in built up areas.

4. Well that ride was a heart-beater!

6. Alright!

One could possibly go flying without a pilot's license in that!

7. I got a speeding ticket in my CRV. I can't imagine me in one of those nt

8. So let's see. I buy one and take it on the Garden State Parkway with Sunday's shore traffic --- simply put,

I'd be jerking myself off. As would 92.7% of the Boomer yuppies who buy one.

10. I love this car, and I love that Chevy is building it, but

The price, with dealer markups, will be ridiculous and stay ridiculous. Once it gets to the $250k-300k, which I'm sure it will, you find yourself at a price point: new Corvette or a couple year old Lamborghini Huracan or year old 911 Turbo. The Corvette might get to 60 slightly faster, but it's still (in that present company) just a Corvette (full disclosure: I've owned two, I love them).

I hope they sell a million of them so I can pick one up barely used a couple years later at a deep discount.

11. The ADM's have gotten out of hand, no doubt..

But there are several YouTubers who are saying the market has leveled out and is trending down for the C8.

Of course the ZR-1 will likely open that back up again, so it's up to the buyer to refuse to pay those dealer markups. Hopefully Chevrolet will do what it can to stop the dealers from gouging.

12. I can only speak to my expanded market

but the upper level models like the Z06 are still $10k over MSRP new, and used are selling at MSRP. Ordinary C8s are hitting the 2 years old, $65k-70k area, hardly driven (idiots). I'm sure there are deals to be had at a Manheim auction, that sort of thing.
