SAE testing done...AutoLine After Hours

To my point earlier... They know the engine can run on E85 but it would threaten Z06 owners if they did. They are just protecting their prized car which I think is a little crazy suggesting it would only help sell the car to younger buyers. Younger people LOVE E85

With all due respect, are you really that naive to believe that E85 wasn't added because they're protecting the Z06? What good reason do they have to protecting a car they don't even make anymore?
There is no protection here. There is no evidence to suggest anything like that. They're going to do everything they can to pitch and motivate buyers to the C7 because that is what they're going to be selling moving forward.
The car's capabilities are simply what they are and to blame it because you think it would be competitive with an older model is for a lack of a better word, fanboy-ism.
Plus, even with E85, a C7 still would be slower than a Z06.

Um, nope. And despite your shot at me, that wasn't meant to be derogatory towards LS3_E85. As I said, it was used because I couldn't think of a better word.
However, there is actual logic behind my statement, unlike just having faith in a feature or capability that doesn't exist.
That blind faith is what makes the E85 claim fanboy-ish.

What about the bold text? I know exactly what I said and I know what point you're trying to make.
Once again, the difference is that there is actual logic behind my statement and it does not rely on having faith in a feature or capability that doesn't exist.
Now, do you have anything meaningful to add or are you going to continue to try to debate semantics?
