- The C8 is code named "Zerv" (likely short for Zora's Cerv - see all of the Cervs in the stickys above)
- Debut at the NAIAS in January 2018. (We've been lied to about debuts recently)
- Production begins later next year or early 2019. (Seems to support the scenario of two separate production lines using one paint center. The C8 to be produced in the new section of the plant, resulting in about ZERO impact on C7 and future(?) volume capability)
- Later a Corvette E-Ray that is speculated to be a hybrid, not all electric.
- Tremec will supply 7 speed dual clutch "automatic"
- Will "offer a choice of a solid roof, a lift-off top as on today’s C7, or a glass roof." (You interpret this quote, I am NOT responsible for C&D's poor sentence structure.)
- Through the camouflage, we can discern the outline of the large rear glass under which sits the small-block V-8.
- Conventional opening doors, not gullwing (Targa top = duh) or scissors.
- At introduction, expect ~ 500 HP from some variant of an LT OHV engine. Within a year, expect that to be "upgraded" to a DOHC V-8.
