The C8 is ugly- looks like Toy-ota styled it- and the Z06 has a buzz-bomb engine which has no torque and is very inefficient....And it only comes with a Potty-matic that weighs 350 pounds...And now we find out that trany doesn't hold up....

Also, let's face it; ALL American mid-engine cars catch fire......

Thank you for drawing the connection. I won't even mention the "C8 Prototype" thing.
Oh wait...

It pertains to the Fiero fire reputation so it’s fiero-related

It’d be funny if GM didn’t learn from their mistakes and they underfill these Corvettes with oil and they catch fire right on the cat 🐈.

Edit after reading article: rod hitting gas tank, that’s even worse .

You have to really try to accomplish that in a Fiero.

I’m surprised the Chevrolet Dealer even worked on it the first time he brought it in for repairs. “You we’re doing what when the car broke?” Uh, I broke it on the racetrack. Can you say “your warranty is now 100% voided?”. Sure you can….

Chevrolet/GM has to know that a good percentage of the Z06 Corvettes are going to be "tracked". As long as they're not modded, I think it would look really bad if they start voiding warranties. Especially when the customers have access to YouTube. Bad for "bid-ness".
