Gold Member BOHICA Posted June 25, 2016 Gold Member Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) In 2019 corvette to get DOHC triton or coyote V8 to power the corvette into the next decade. Can't get by and compete with LT push rod engines anymore. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2016/06/gm-gearing-mid-engine-vette-bowling-green/ The source told the publication that the eighth generation will bow in 2018 as a 2019 model, with a production version ready for display at the 2018 North American International Auto Show. The mid-engined Corvette will allegedly use the C7’s pushrod engine at first, with a new twin-cam V8 engine boosting the ‘Vette’s output in early 2019. GM my be finally moving into this millennium with the engine tech. Any guess on displacement.... I say it will be a 327 4 valve triton V8 powering the vetted in the future. They may even try to squeak in a flat plane crank to get some power and track prowess out of their powertrains. They will just have to reverse engineer what Ford has accomplished on the 5.2 to come up with a worthy engine for a mid engine vette Edited June 25, 2016 by BOHICA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford already had to build them a 10 speed transmission for the next ZL1 camaro. Gm will reverse engineer ford v8's for the next generation vettes...... They won't contract them as they can just reverse engineer what ford has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have a key to the treasury with an endless supply of tax payer dollars. They won't need to worry about infringing on patents as they are connected to the law makers.

Pretty sure they are both well connected. And that's got nothing to do with it. Everybody copies everybody then tries to "one up" each other in every business. That's how we as consumers get the best products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted June 27, 2016 Author Gold Member Share Posted June 27, 2016 Things only vettes can dream of doing with their push rods. Maybe after they go to Ford triton engines in 2019 they can go fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
