C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

Southern Commifornia marking up corvette prices ridiculously. There are plenty of dealerships selling at sticker. Do your homework .

In 2009, Nissan broke the mold with the r35 gtr. It embarrassed cars costing twice as much and immediately had the world playing catch up, specifically Porsche and to a lesser extent gm with the vette.

We have such great c7 z06’s and 911 gt3s and turbos bc they saw the bar and then raised it themselves, the old adage about competition strengthens the breed applies for sure.

Chevy just did the same thing in 2020 with the c8.

This should kill the r35 (if Nissan has any self respect), and bring on a kick *** r36 in a few years, but then again, b/c Kicks might apply and they’ll make the next gtr a cuv hybrid.

Time to start saving up!

The configurator is sick... loving the high wing. Unlike the C7. The base car is hot... so imagine the future Z06, GS & ZR1? The ZR1 will be bugatti fast!!

Corvette is Nearly Sold Out For First Year of Production!!!

https://www.autoblog.com/2019/07/28/...arly-sold-out/

I almost reserved mine playing with the configurator last night. It's just an amazing car.
Ford made a car like this and sold it at $500,000.
I'm sure when the first reviews roll out it will be against the last Ford GT. Crazy... it's just bananas.
This car I believe will sell out the same way next year too. It's only been out a few days...

AND THEY WANNA SAY SPORTS CARS ARE DYING?

No... not at as all. Companies been trying to pass of shyt as sports cars for too long. Chevy showed the world how it's done.

Everybody likes using the phrase game changer. But corvette made the phrase real.

The Camaro is nice too.

Don't lets all drink the Kool-aid just yet,

The numbers are impressive. The car has potential. Especially at the price announced.

But I'm not buying the hype that 30,000 lemmings have already rushed out to put money down on a car that they don't even know the price of yet. If that is the case, then guaranteed dealerships will be adding "market adjustments". Or maybe supply will be strictly limited in the first year (like that won't attract price markups).

For those who did put a deposit down, many will walk when they find out what the true bottom line number is. Or once they discover that no cars will be built at the announced price (all the first year might well require an additional $20,000 in options). More will pass when they discover that their allocation won't be built for 16 months. Or when they find that the lease or finance rates are way higher than they are for product that isn't moving. Still more will bail on the first bad review. For others, circumstances will change, forcing them to back out. There will even be a few who are expecting to flip the car for a profit across the street from the dealership when they take delivery. This happens at every launch for every special model.

I have great hopes for this car. But in the end, it is still a Chevy and will have lousy paint, poor quality fit and finish, repulsive interior surfaces, and bits will start to fall off at about 40,000 miles. And I'm with the crowd that stays away from the first year or two of a new or radically re-designed model.

As I understand it, GM will be touring a few cars to dealerships. Those would be the "special invitation VIP reveals" to be invited to. Maybe they'll offer free cookies and Kool-aid.

I've been rather impressed with the quality of their recent vehicles... This isn't the GM of the early 2000s any longer. I have a friend with a new camaro and i'm actually pretty impressed with it.
