Motor Trend Admits First C8 Corvette Dyno Test was Botched


During their initial testing of the 2020 Corvette Stingray, Motor Trend took an opportunity on their final day with the car to put it on a Mustang Dyno to see what kind of power the new LT2 V8 engine was making.

Unfortunately, neither time travel nor any other means of augmenting income worked out for me this week. My loss is your gain as I decided to share my shopping list with my loyal readership instead of hoarding listings in hope of a long-shot cash infusion; enjoy!
