Description

The year is 1986. The Nintendo Entertainment System is taking over living rooms, Top Gun is in theaters, and Chevrolet is still putting the engine in the front of the Corvette. But behind the scenes, GM was working on something that was remarkably similar to the C8, with one catch… it was 33 years too early. That car was the 1986 Corvette Indy, and this is its story! 🎬 Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:28 How the Indy Came to Be 2:00 The Indy Arrives 4:13 Making It Actually Run 6:06 What Came Next 7:37 Ending 📚 Sources & Attribution: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sjN6hnLG5bGFR9-0ufV-GQRemgqubez4n6z3TUDTNZU/edit?usp=sharing #chevy #chevrolet #generalmotors #gm #corvette #corvetteindy
