On the topic of the possibilities of the C9 Corvette. I hope they keep the same engines, tweak them a little for NVH, or broaden the powerband, make a little more power, whatever. Nothing extensive for the engines, but instead invest most of it in making the platform lighter. Where the ZR1 is going to be around 3800 to 4000 lbs. Is kind of excessive, they need to lighten the platform by 400 to 500 lbs across the board. Having a Stingray sitting at 3100 to 3200 lbs would be perfect. 3200 to 3300 lbs for the Z06, 3300 to 3500 lbs for the ZR1. Doing this would improve pretty much everything over the C8 platform. Acceleration, driving dynamics, track times, wear and tear, etc. They need to make the platform lighter, if they do this, the C9 would effectively be the perfect Corvette.
David - You NEED to place your microphone closer to your face, otherwise, we miss most of what you are saying. This certainly made the vid less than wonderful.
Good show, guys. Hopefully, I'll make the next one.
We’d love to have you!

Hi justin and amber i just got my 2025 z06 black ⚫️ on black like yours and yes high wing 🪽
Congrats! It’s an amazing car. Enjoy
That's awesome! Congrats, my friend!!
Congrats. I'm envious, I'm still about 12 months away from owning one
Outside of not having a manual, which is a deal-killer for me, Chevy has perfected the Corvette
No one needs or wants a EV C8
Wow you deleted my question asking for a little help on the Sigala wing!
I most certainly did not. What was your question?

Corvette EV would be sick if it is as quick as a Tesla Plaid or Rimac
But… GM was idiotic to rush/push all there other EV products to market!
If chevy was smart...let's come out with an E-Vette. 50 grand corvette all e-v . let the people r-n-d this thing. And get feed back.

The audio was messed up across the board on this one. Will fix it next time.
