Look who owns and drives the C8 vert - it's the 4th richest man on Earth:
Must be a good car!
P.S. I have heard he is a car guy too

He could drive a Bugatti but something like a C8 is much less hassle, less unwanted attention and still plenty of speed and power for driving enjoyment. A sportscar/supercar sweetspot between ultimate speed and ultimate headaches (with maintentnace schedule, repair time, parts/dealership availability etc) 😀

Fastest laps Motor1.com did a test for the C8 on the dyno and got 478 horsepower and 544 pound feet of torque to the wheels and did some calculations and found out in peak conditions at the crank it makes a staggering 562 horsepower and 640 pound feet of torque.

Motor1.com are a news outlet?
Anyway to buisness~ https://www.motortrend.com/features/2020-chevrolet-corvette-c8-power-dyno/
Quote>"Our eyes are glued to the screen. The bright green numbers appear on the monitor, reading 478 hp and 544 lb-ft at the wheels. If we continue to assume a 15-percent drivetrain loss, this 'Vette would be producing about 562 hp and 640 lb-ft at the crank. We're all scratching our heads."
Anyway it turned out to be inaccurate and a bunch of bollocks and many called them out, they stated.

This was the internal investigation and retesting results after "recalibrations". Completely different.
Quote>"Assuming our 15 percent crankshaft-to-wheels parasitic loss figure, this car comes in a shade under the rated output at 465 hp and 412 lb-ft."
640-412 lbs ft= TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY EIGHT lbs ft difference after recalculations? So LOL!
