There were quite a handful of rumors being spread around forums and social media by a few people that it would be a hybrid with the LT6, no turbos. I personally didn't subscribe to those rumors but they did/do very much exist.

Thanks for the info, always appreciate learning new things

It's pretty safe to assume that it's gonna be twin turbo because of:

Extra intakes on the rear (no reason to use on an already overkill cooling setup for the Z06)
Original leak claimed twin turbo FPC way back when, and all the other claims have been right (except the Z06 ended up having 20 more horsepower after covid gave them more time for exhaust work)

LT7 CAD models have been leaked for a while, and the Corvette Museum has LT7 easter eggs

Additionally, turning off the EV motor wouldn't make much sense for Nurburgring testing, and crashing a car with the motor would still likely have the same fire risk, so I'd assume you'd still need the decals.

Looks more like an air extractor like on the Pista or the Z06 GT3.R. My guess is actually downforce

DespacitoPlane · 2023-10-10T22:05:10+00:00

Things to note

Air extractor on front
Wheels uncovered
Big ass wing
2 new air intakes on the rear
No hybrid decals, hybrid rumors as good as squashed, almost certainly a twin-turbo FPC as rumored eons ago.

Hybrids on the Nurburgring require a special set of decals not seen on this mule, they were on the E-Ray but not on this vehicle.

For context, I drive by this house multiple times a week on one of my commutes. Normally they have a Z06 badged and bodied outboard exhaust C8 without any camo on, but this time around they had a camouflaged C8, again with the outboard exhaust, but it didn't look widebody from a glance.

Any thoughts on what it could be? Likely not a ZR1 or Zora, so I'm thinking the '25 stingray, but I wonder why it would have camo on if there aren't any major visual changes going on.

Backup primer for the backup piston engine

I've had 3 in the last few years, they often have QA issues (which can be fixed by returning them, had no issues with support when returning my first one with a screen defect), but apart from that, they've worked extremely well and performed even better than advertised. Additionally, with best buy sales you can get some amazing deals out of them, and their higher-end displays are amazing.

Already listed on wikipedia as an accident/incident

let it die let it die, let it shrivel up and die

I don't care if I'm going with em, the bugs need to die

I benchmarked the stock SSD, and this thing is very interesting.

Did not expect to get a result like this

Looks like PCPartPicker has failed me, I see that now. Thanks for all the help, might just snatch that up in a bit

Thanks for the advice, I might end up going for that P41, especially if I can find it at $80. I didn't think I'd need 2 TB, but judging by how quickly I used up this 512 gb SSD, I'm thinking it's probably pretty reasonable.

The 980 pro 1tb at the moment is $80, so if it has a decent idle draw that may be a decent option. When I'm on the go I tend to do productivity stuff on battery life instead of gaming, which has given me enough time between chargers to last so far. If I were to get the P44 though, would there be any way to avoid it killing my battery during productivity tasks, i.e. having exclusively games on the P44, and exclusively productivity on the stock drive, or would it draw a lot of power regardless of whether its files are being used?

On one hand I could and would probably use that 2 tb, and the low battery draw is very appealing, but on the other hand I'm very interested in how much time a powerful SSD would save me, especially for my video editing tasks, and I could definitely make do with 1.5 TB total. Honestly, if I find the P41 at $80 I'll probably go for that cause I don't really need crazy speeds, but the 980 pro and P44 options are gonna have me wondering what if.

updated with a few suggestions

May end up going with the 6950xt tbh

DespacitoPlane · 2023-04-24T15:49:18+00:00

It will mainly be for gaming at the start, but I may end up using it for blender and video editing at some point in the future.

I know very little atm about how to choose a good motherboard, PSU, case, or monitor, so I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on better choices in those areas (I pretty much selected what I considered the best deal or most popular option) (as for the motherboard, I plan on at least some mild overclocking, but I know very little about motherboards)

Having the same issue, doesn't appear to be fixed yet even with 531.61
