C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

Just put the order in for my C8. 1LT with Z51 and a couple little extras. Only 66k total which is cheaper than my C7 z06 and doesn't have traction problems like my Z06. Now the long wait. That being said deposit is refundable in case by some miracle the C8 or Supra get an announcement that a manual is coming.

The C8 is getting line lock, like the camaro 6's & I think the C7 did have launch control!!

Couldn't be less interested in that feature, really.
But I guess if it floats somebody's boat, why not.

So, does that mean it has an electronic LSD, or no LSD, or those options are mutually exclusive?

We have Elsd. The feature is meant for dragsters. Or track junkies looking for grip on inception of a race. I would need that feature.

Hey, you don't have to be a very dude to be interested. The car community is fully of very, and not-so-very dudes, and some people who aren't dudes at all.

As a dude, I would typically skimp on the convertible version of a car, but the stiffness and hardtop execution seem awesome on this one. It's more like a....spider. I hate to say it, but it caters more to this "poor man's exotic", and I'm actually into that because actual used 458 prices (and probably reliability) are still a huge stretch away.
