Leaks tonight where???...:jbhmm:
GM Authority or CorvetteForum most likely. Happens every Corvette debut. They had CAD drawings of the C7 and C8 a year before intro, both times and had the C6 body in white way before intro too.

In case yall missed these, you’ll see some interesting stuff if you’re a nerd like me.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
Every Vette guy I have run into is psyched and not looking back after this vette.
I gotta sell mine asap.

Not really a car guy, but would love to see what you've got under that hood as well.

I hope that they engineered the cradle for easy access. I really do see a lot of these getting neglected maintenance wise down the road due to cost. GM needs to get this right with quick disconnects and/or factory cradle dolly so that people can keep the value up. This will be interesting after the first 2 years post release.

Nah. It’ll be easier than a McLaren but not easy like the past 3 generations of Corvettes. I was able to do a lot of work on my old C5 but it was designed for a different time.

Aftersales ie service is extremely important for producing profit for dealer fixed operations. The engineers have to throw the network a bone.

The aftermarket will figure it out though. They always do. I wouldn’t worry about them being neglected with this price point and customer base.
