Since the C5 Corvette, the body has looked like a Ferrari in front, NSX from the side and the only thing that makes it look like a Vette are the tail lights.

The C8 is the saddest looking from the side. It looks put together, doesn’t flow at all. Build quality is extremely poor.

I don’t discount it’s performance. It’s a beast and corvettes have always been.

They just need to hire some designers from Italy to draw up these cars.

Sounds like the only third gens you were in were 💩 LOL

You're hurting my feelings Raman! I badly want Tamiya to make a C8 body. This Protoform C8 isn't cutting it to match my big one.

Hahaha lol.. my hats off to its performance capabilities! They’re epic

These two are my mistresses.

The Romeo is 1750 or 2000 cc ?

Fun facts about the third gen Camaro's.
The 87+ 2.8 v6 equipped ones were actually equal to or faster on the street than the 305 equipped ones.
The v6 Camaro had a better COG, thanks to the engine being further back than the v8, and handled better than its v8 counterparts.
Drop that boat anchor iron block and heads and swap it for an all aluminum LS, which weighs less than the v6 engine, and you've got yourself a very quick car with handling to boot.

For the third gens, If you didn't put the proper work and energy into it, you had a dog 💩 car. I'm not mad you don't like them. Everyone likes something different and that's what makes the discussions interesting.
I just feel that you got the wrong impression from them. It wasn't till a couple of decades ago that the LS came out and people started figuring out it was a no brainer for the third gen, cause lets face it, it doesn't handle so well with a boat anchor under the hood. But, put the right engine in and it changes the handling quite a bit; it no longer pushes the nose when cornering. I bought the v6 Camaro because it handled better. After a 2 inch drop, and suspension work to match, it would carve the curves with the best of em. And once that boost came on out of that Holset diesel turbo, it was like lighting a rocket.

The faces were priceless when that boost kicked in.
I really want a quality third gen body. But I'll probably have to 3D print one.

You got some results from a time attack or autocross to back this claim? How about a lap record anywhere?

I really like it too....although - the scaled down proportions in 1/10th scale make it look a little "chunky"....
The top of my "Wish List" for a Tamiya TT-02 Chassis is the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo... That would complete my Le Mans manufacturers representations collection.

Raman, that is an absolutely gorgeous Alfa! I have the Tamiya Guilia body still unpainted.

simple, agreed.....maybe the slightly chunky looks had to be done to clear the TT-02 shocktowers. Tamiya should do a TT-03 with low shocktowers and bring back the 2007 Raybrig NSX body too.

69 1750

I don’t know when we will see another Ferrari.. they’ve pulled back on their licensing in a major way.

Im happy to see this McLaren.. it fills the void exotic kit releases from Tamiya.. would be nice to see some Aston Martin releases as well.

Could've been cool for them to include this body with an F103GT or TC01 kit and make it nice and low slung.

Compare the specs to the same cars from that era. Skidpad etc. Many people have autocrossed with them. I have not. But I do know there are quite a few cars that couldn't keep up with mine through the corners, and I'm just one person with a v6.

All the info you require is available on various third gen forums.

Back to topic.

Wouldn't take much to use the front bumper mounted posts, and a modified shock tower without body mounts on it. But then the posts would probably be too far forward to look weird.

So you've got no proof your car handles better than 95% of cars on the road today like you claimed.
