    2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Reveal

      …the long wait for the mid-engine Corvette is over...

    The time has come for the Corvette to mid-engine architecture. 

    Powering the Corvette is a 6.2 liter V8 LT2 making and SAE certified 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque when equipped with an optional exhaust system. In Z51 form, the car is expected to hit 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. The base output of the engine has not been revealed yet. The LT2 engine is based on the LT1 with a new aluminum block. This new engine features a dry-sump oiling system and three scavenger pumps to fight oil starvation in high-G maneuvers on a track. 

    People looking for three pedals will be disappointed to find that no manual transmission will be offered.  Instead an 8-speed dual clutch automatic will take over shifting duties and likely execute them faster than any human could. The DCT is setup with a low first gear for quick take off and tall seventh and eighth for fuel economy. The gears in between are close ratio to keep the engine strongly in the power band.

    Those who want a removable roof will be happy to find that option still there and can be stored in the rear compartment. There will be 3 interior seat options, six interior colors, six seat-belt colors, and two optional stitching packages.

    The suspension is a double-wishbone design with oil over dampers, while the Z51 package gets magnetic ride control. A front lift system can lift the nose and use GPS to mark the location where you lifted the nose for future use. An electric brake system is more precise and is tunable by the driver. All Stingrays get an electronic limited-slip differential. 

    The front trunk and rear trunk combined can handle 12.6 cubic feet of cargo space. The structure of the Stingray built from high-pressure diecast aluminum and has a carbon fiber rear bumper. 

    Pricing will start at less than $60,000.

    Literally everything you watch would be the exact same. 

    Coincidentally, those teams are no longer around.. ?

    Do you also only want your Cleveland Browns players to have been born in Ohio?

    Sounds like a strapping young buck, with all that stremf.  I'm curious, is there a photo of this folded bed?

    I'm sure someone took one. It's not an uncommon complaint. If you are curious you can use something called Google. Or don't. I don't really care either way.

    I did hear a story where a Silverado owner sneezed and the truck exploded. There've been a few stories of that happening over the last few years. But I drive with a clothespin on my nose, everyday. No worries.

    Well, at least I didn't get the model.

    Amazing how big a problem this is for Toyota and how no one screamed, yelled or got upset and people still think Toyota builds perfect auto's.

    Been a problem from 2001 to 2009, 8 years of weak ass frames and no one seems to be upset. ?

    Amazing what little area they covered on their Tacoma recall for frames.

    I believe toyoter extended the program (either for the 'coma or the 'undra) into 2012. 
    Unbelievable crap product there- can't believe people chose to overlook it and buy another, but when you're given hefty hush money...

    - - - - - 
    Have there been any projections as to the different model/trims coming on the '20 Corvette?

    There’s issues, and there’s issues bad enough that an OEM buys their product back at 1.5X market value and destroys it.

    yes; no consumer product is without some flaws.

    Jay is really showing his age. Very cool video, Thanks @NINETY EIGHT REGENCY for posting this.

    He is..sadly.. I was never a huge fan of his late night show but I've always loved him as a car guy. The one line that confused me because I know he has a lot of modern stuff, too, was when he was talking about the 8spd DCT transmission and he said he was surprised because a lot of other cars are using 4 and 5 spd automatics. That was a decade+ ago. 

    Do you guys need pictures of the Colorado breaking in half as well? Or is that blasphemy because Chevy?

    Agreed, was not a fan at all of his late night show or any of those shows, but loved his car show as a down to earth car guy. At least he has shared what other wealthy collectors do not share with the rest of us worker bees.

    Agreed that his tranny comments were a bit of a surprise and what made me think he is showing his age now and being forgetful. Wonder what will happen to his auto collection when he dies? ? Hopefully some museum will get it at least.

    Please Post, all brands are subject to be laughed at especially when they break in half. :D

    I'm guessing Toyota wished they never heard the name Dana Holding Corp... 

    Dana, Maumee, Ohio.   My sister is working a consulting gig there...sounds like their IT organization has issues from many acquisitions of other companies..

      Beautiful Cars Appreciation Thread

      Isnt the NASCAR truck series still going on?  It is not a big stretch for NASCAR to race CUV/SUV body styles in lieu of sedans/coupes when they also race pick-up trucks.  Stock cars racing is no longer. Hasnt been since the late 80s.  In fact, having front wheel drive name plates racing as 'rear wheel drive stock cars'  has been a thing since stock cars have not been a thing...since the late 80s.  Therefore, the next logical step for NASCAR to do is have CUV/SUV body style race cars since sedans and coupes are almost extinct in the real world.    The main thing is that 'stock cars' could never be raced ever again.  Since a while now as race safety for drivers (pit crews and spectators also) takes precedence over anything else on a race track.   I dont mind that NASCAR is not 'stock cars'. In fact, I applaud that move for safer race cars.   I dont mind that FWD name plates are plastered on the race cars.  If the public does not buy RWD cars anymore, at least the ones that race in NASCAR, what is NASCAR to do?  Therefore the same logic applies to CUV/SUV body styles.  If Impalas, and Grand Prixs and Hudson Hornets and Luminas and Camaros do not exist anymore, but Rav 4s, Equinoxes and Escapes exist and sell quite well with the masses, let the torch be passed unto the next batch of popular everyday automobiles to be raced in NASCAR.

      Not me.  I have a decent kitty in my GM Card and I can't think of anything I'd buy from them.  I feel both ripped off and heartbroken. I had a little Nissan Versa sedan at the beginning of September.  A school friend put me up in NYC prior to sailing out so I bought all the meals and drove her around in a $50 a day Versa rented at La Guardia.  Bear Mtn. and Westchester County one day.  Long Island and Queens the next.  Zipped around NYC with ease, including parking it, it sipped fuel, it has good sight lines, and it's so damn logical - dash, trunk, etc.  I'd baby the CVT with frequent fluid changes and thought, 'I could do this.'

      "Buy GM. Buy Ford. Buy American."-Too many posters to name here   Meanwhile Ford has more recalls than they have cars and GM just took an official dump on a movement they claimed to champion not two years ago. Mary Barra is a joke in clown shoes at this point.    https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/general-motors-ev-mary-barra-8e5c1eb2?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=ASWzDAhF6A9fNywRoIX_MNcLPRCtSOdFj4HwcE8_WlElZBJ1pdU8hsDLD6nhgAvgzg%3D%3D&gaa_ts=68dbe9bd&gaa_sig=ESFzN-IxI4kLseymfl32-3LMqYdNbzCvyVKK_XAKt8tvYDTejyMjkmxIzUZ_gtSb_QhvY9k5VhkRbN_uVUchmA%3D%3D

      Here is a Pan Am 747 wearing its last livery. This is at Rio de Janeiro. I like that the last liveries for both Pan Am and TWA got rid of the stripe/ribbon along the windows.  It looked cleaner and more modern.
