THE 2020 MID-ENGINE C8 GOES HI-TECH

August 13, 2019 0 By Mike Vietro

When GM announced the new C8, their goal was to make a true “supercar” for everyday use. A car that could compete on the world stage. Well, it appears that goal has been accomplished!

In order to do this, Corvette had to shed its relatively low-tech past and add some of the common tech and safety features offered on the advanced cars of today. What’s amazing, is that GM was able to do this and keep the price way below the competition!

These new tech items are included on the 2LT and 3LT (the 1LT gets fewer features):

Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Side Blind Zone Alert Mirrors
Upgraded HD Rear Vision Camera
Updated Front Curb View Camera
HD Live Video Rear View Mirror. It can also be used as a normal mirror
Park Assist displaying distance-to-object

You will notice that some tech items, like Pre-Collision Braking and Adaptive Cruise Control have been left out of the C8. Well, according to Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter, that was done on purpose. These items were left off as the Corvette was designed as a driver’s car and thus, should be driven, not drive itself.

What Mike likes about this car:
“I received a call back around the Fall of 1989 from a school teacher in Riverside CA. She claimed she had an original 1965 Red 396 Convertible that she bought from a local guy in the area.

I loved those phone calls back then in the real good ole days!!! When you knew you were dealing with the Genuine Article.

Unlike over the past couple decades when one must be careful about the cars we find.

This is the REAL DEAL. No fakes. No clones. No Smoke or Mirrors.

Do you want to add a super rare Red on Red 396 Convertible to your collection that you can be proud of? With Documentation, Notarized Affidavits from the original owner and the school teacher, Awards, All receipts from our exhaustive frame off restoration and so much more!! Binders full. Original drive train. Drives as it should and a list of all the owners, I’ve had the pleasure of selling it to over the past 30 years. A true California Black plate 396.

No Bull. I’ll stake my reputation on it.”

Happy Throttling!
