Hmm might have to swap this into the 86 when it comes out. Think it would drop in relatively easy?

Are we seeing the last of normally aspirated monster cars? I suspect so.
This clip has been out for a while but watch it again. It makes me happy.

I see the average person mistaking this for a C7.

Unless you are really, really familiar with cars, and they aren't moving, and you're pretty close not just your average person is going to get them mixed up.

It's the ultimate sleeper, almost as if the Ferrari engineers were trolling the Chevy engineers.

The C7 is a nice looking car. The Ferrari is even nicer.

But that was my point. When the flash of yellow goes by your window, you won't be able to know which one it was unless you are the ultimate car geek.

Has nothing to do with the brakes based off location. Now, oil coolers that's another story.

Either oil coolers, or to evacuate air pressure in the wheel wells at high speed.
