Corvette Daytona Prototype - A Great Demonstration Why Corvette C7 Stingray Is A TOTAL FAILURE

As it was just painfully demonstrated at Daytona, the only way Corvette can win anything is when it has absolutely nothing in common with Corvette C7 Stingray.

The Daytona Prototype is a great illustration of what new Corvette should have been and why it should have been designed that way.

Specifically, the Daytona Prototype uses an actual fully caged space frame, behind driver mid engine configuration and relies on very simple but also fully tunable multiport fuel injection system and relies on low weight to increase its performance.  The Prototype uses coil overs and very simple but highly durable LS7 engine variant. 

Now, if +Tadge Juechter  had any brains at all, he would at least push for LS7 type of engine in new Corvette instead of the overly complex and performance hindering LT1, along with failed technologies as AFM and Direct Injection.

The problems with Direct Injection were shown very well with the breakdown of one of  the two C7R cars in the same race.  The overheating can be directly traced to the presence of DI and difficulty to tune it properly, given the race conditions.  On top of it, the LS7 engine apparently produces LESS HP than with MPI.

Here is a thought to Tadge Juechter: you may want to look at Audi R8 for an inspiration to design a great Corvette, in case you did not get a hint from Daytona Prototype.  And Tadge, those round tail lights look way better than the Camaro turds...
