So GM decided to publish a video of the engine sound of the C8 Z06, wonder if the production model will sound exactly like what was posted.

C8 Z06 Engine Sound Clip

The media response to this has been funny. There was a USA Today article saying “obviously these are fake noises and it’ll be electric”, then road and track was like “boom! flat plane crank, told you”
Anyone see ball park prices yet? First new car in a long time I’m excited for. Curious to see what they did with aero. The C8 has so much potential in looks and performance. To me it looks more like what I imagined the 2nd gen NSX to be, then the actual 2nd gen NSX.

I hope it looks similar to the C8 Z06 renderings. I Love that aggressive OEM+ look.
Sounds amazing....defiantly don't sounds like a V8.

sounds great! i hope they don't have the issues the GT350R has/had with their flat plane.
Looks like a 8500RPM Redline based on the video.
Great time to be NA car enthusiast with a nice selection of cars that have engines that rev past 8K

Since the NSX Type S is now unobtainium, the Z06 may attract a few people. An 8600 rpm NA engine? Sweet
I think it has had some engine balance related issues. Perhaps Ford was just a tick off with counterbalancing. Nothing (short of a flat crank v-12) sounds a sweet as a flat crank v-8. The Porsche / Subaru boxers don’t sound anywhere as nice. I wonder what a 90 degree Honda C30 would sound like with a flat crank?

Why talk you out of getting one? You can wrap it in a matte grey if you want it to look like Gotham.

They are lowballing you! For that money, keep the NSX, get a loan against the value (somewhere around $50k) and buy the corvette.
I know that for 18K you can't get even wrecked or flooded NSX. What a joke the black book is. That is how dealers make money?
Thanks for trusting Black Book to appraise your 1991 Acura NSX. Keep this email for your records.
Congratulations! Your estimated trade-in value is
$9,920 - $18,460

I have never thought I would want a Corvette.
But this... I am definitely going to get one. I am not in love with the design of the car. But the sound of the engine, the philosophy behind this, the risk-taking attitude of the developers, the desire to push the boundary... it's really special.
I guess never say never.
