So part of the way down there is a link/image of a yellow C8. Of all the renderings and spy shots, the yellow C8 pictured looks identical to the C8 I spotted yesterday with its camo covers on in terms of body lines. Unfortunately I didn't have my phone handy to grab a pic, but I can tell you the C8 is as sexy as one would expect.

I'm not expecting anything less than amazing looking. The C6 and C7 are pretty hot when you chose gran sport and up. The minor attentions to detail in the grand sport just really accentuates the corvette on to a whole different level.

I'm wondering if the Camaro 7 will take on a more corvettish FR appearance by being even lower than it already is... 53" ride height. The lowest production muscle car right now which I'm sure is a major contributor to the Camaro's logic defying handling!!
Or will they extend the C7 corvettes life with a refresh while having the C8. Maybe changing its designation? Cuz there's are a new corvette mechanical air dam patent that seems to be designed for the current gen vette. Love that Chevy is doing big things with these two and handling numbers aren't just on paper. It shows at a majority of tracks. Somebody's gotta keep the performance market alive and affordable.

I have serious concerns about that last part there. While I don't think it'll be true super car money, my bet is on pricing above past corvette pricing. For some reason, as soon as the engine goes behind the drive the price goes up a considerable amount.

i mentioned it before on here that it will most likely be 60-65k for base model then add on to go up to Z51 and Z06.

Gonna be one fast sexy car

Too bad no manual trans

I cross shop Ferrari and Corvettes all the time. They both fall into the same category for me: I can't afford a new one and don't want a used one lol

ZCanadian · 04-14-2019, 11:00 AM

I want what you guys are smoking! It’s legal here. :-)

And I can do 1.2G in any direction with my 4C. Due to its weight and amazing stock braking, on a tight course I’ve even passed an F458 (but not on a straight, obviously). That doesn’t make it a discount Ferrari, although the looks and attention the car gets are on par.

I have the utmost respect for what Chevrolet has done (took them 50 years to get there, mind you) in the C7. Hoping that the C8 is an equally impressive step forward for the platform. Although I think it might be wise to wait for the bugs to be worked out. Going to a mid engine layout is a huge leap for any manufacturer.

In the end, it is a Chevy, and I stand by my comments on build quality. I’ve owned enough of them. Probably more than 30 between personal and the fleet I manage at work. No, none of those are Corvettes, but I don’t see any reason to suspect that they are any better than what I’ve had experience with (from minivans to pickups, Cadillacs, and C5500’s).

I want what you're smoking... Lol. Im sure the cold air is thin in Canada. You realize the Alfa 4c as well as the giulia was designed by Ferrari engineers. Ferrari characteristics in an inexpensive production car??? Right? But anyway. It really doesn't matter. If your opinion is to Trump facts. That's fine. You got in the american liberal movement.

Oh and yes, your Alfa gets 1.2g cuz of a Ferrari engineer. You're welcome!
