Head of SRT, Tim Kuniskis, recently spoke about the C8 Corvette, stating, "I think about C8 all the time." Kuniskis expressed his admiration for the Corvette's engineering, saying, "I am incredibly impressed with the engineering of that car. There's some things I don't like, of course, you know, and I'm biased, obviously. But there's some things that were in that car—and I've had a chance to meet Tadge and talk to him about the car in the past—and it's an impressive car, and the engineering in it is highly impressive."
View Price on AmazonKuniskis noted that SRT isn't trying to build a competitor to the Mustang and Camaro, and the same applies to the C8 Corvette. "We're not with this car trying to build a C8 competitor. Absolutely not. Why would I? It exists, they do really well with it, they sell, you know, 25,000, 30,000 [units per year]. I question the range; I question the $65,000 up to $250,000. But you know what? They're getting away with it, so good for them. I don't want to follow that, though."
Kuniskis defined the upcoming Copperhead SRT as a hyper-muscle car, distinct from the C8 Corvette. "I don't want to chase that. They're a sports car. I'm very, very clearly defining this as a hyper-muscle car," Kuniskis said. "It's a different thing," Kuniskis ended the topic while noting "A Viper is a sports car. This is a hyper-muscle car."
