Twin turbo V8 making 900-1,000hp in a Corvette.
Wow.
250mph? Easy.

Even if I could afford one that has to be dangerous for an unskilled driver.

100 linked computers. Drive by wire.
When you accelerate, does the software drive the nose down?

GM trying to make a mid-engine supercar on the cheap. Likely what they’re doing can’t be done for a $70k selling price.

P.R. stunt? I remember when Honda came out with the CBX bike that there were claims that release was delayed because the handlebars kept bending under acceleration. Total BS.

This is going overboard. Why so much power? Just to be king on your block? Where is the market here? Perhaps a few thousand at best? Needless power and extravagance IMHO.

This system is said to incorporate more than 100 interlinked computers on its Computer Area Network To think my old 67 427 cu. in. Vette did not even have power steering.

Can you imagine driving a Vega with that much horsepower.
It seems like every new car GM builds has one flaw.

Bending, huh?

Impressive - also shows how “over-engineering” has it’s faults...always trying to do more with less and pushing envelopes ends up in products with built-in flaws.
Reminds me of an old science fiction story (think it was called “Nothing”) or something - Guy notices that toilet paper, and other products with perforations, never seemed to tear on the perforations and deduced the perforations were stronger than the original material....started adding more perforations as a theory to make things stronger (without actually conducting the tests)...perforations kept being added for additional strength until there was no material left and he deemed it had to be the strongest “material” around....
Seems like some engineers try to carry it that far too....
