This IMO should not go unshared. I've leave my conclusions out.
Last weekend at Sebring Corvette had a C8 cutaway on display among others. What caught my eye was the unmentioned/unnoted front wheel AWD? drivetrain.
But what I saw in the attached pic to this thread also is pertinent.
So keep in mind, this is a 60 year newer design chassis then our cars, its weight is approx 3600lbs w/o driver, it is an OEM daily street car, potentially over $100K, 670hp, pulls 1.03g on skid pad, has a nearly 50/50 weight balance with driver, tops out stock at 184mph, has a front tire 275/30x20 with electric PS, and appears to use a 1/2-9/16" steering tie rod which I did not measure.
