2020 Corvette Stingray Possibilities
Tomorrow night, Chevrolet will unveil the 8th generation Corvette to the world. Because it is such a radical departure from the last C7 Corvette, we figured on highlighting some of the speculations. So here are the Top 5 2020 Corvette Stingray Possibilities. Dual Overhead Cams Instead of one camshaft operating all the valves, the new engine could be the return of 4 cams above the cylinder heads. It is not a new idea, as Corvette’s Chief Engineer always wanted them. Zora Arkus-Duntov fled Nazi Germany and emigrated to NYC.

As we have noticed, the majority of classic Corvette owners have described the new car with profanity, but it does have a proper name. In fact, the name and the engine’s firing order are probably all that will be shared with the C7.

However, the “Stingray” now as one word returned for 1969 and remained until 1976. After a long hiatus, the Stingray name returned in 2014 for the base model cars.

“It is not the beginning of the end, only the end of the beginning”. Winston Churchill was trying to inspire faith in his people that WWII was changing for the better.
