Default Z06

Will be interesting to see if this does happen in a year how it will change Z06 demand. I don’t expect my Z06 for another 18 months. At least i will be able to see the electric plans before i buy Z06

looks like it’s all wheel drive! On the video front tires seem to turn before the rears ever so slightly. Don’t quote me on that though!
Yes looks like it. I noticed the exact same thing. That shot is seems intentionally trying to show that it is AWD.

I just saw the teaser on Facebook. It has me hyped pretty hard for that car. I'm gonna have to force myself to curtail my excitement, though. Because I'm not paying any ADM for a vehicle.

Mark Reuss gave no date for the all-electric. Next year is the “electrified” version (ICE + electric).

And, already a live thread here -> https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-date-yet.html

Seemed to have an Exhaust Sound ? or Was that just the revving of the electric motor ?

Hybrid. They make a distinction between electrified and full electric.

Would this make the Z06 more valuable as the last and highest performance purely non-electric Corvette?

It would really just depend on the market and what people want. I like the Z06 but, I want an E-Ray. I'd spend money on an E-Ray but I wouldn't consider the Z06 at all. The market will ultimately determine how that'll flush out.

Interesting points. What an exciting time to be a Corvette fan!

Well, I suppose this is one way to "solve" the DCT issues.

Very exciting news.
Hopefully they can actually keep parts coming to actually build them... and hopefully this will move some of the crowd waiting for a z06 into the this one. Looks like a widebody as well.
