C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

One thing that wears out on me — and this goes for many consumer products — there's so much foresight on better and better coming out.

In the context of a Corvette, the depreciation kinda screws with me. I mean we're seeing insanely cool s*** but it may just last 5 minutes.

C7 bases going cheap
But unless it's absolutely dirt cheap now, maybe look for a GS because there's a lot of kit (although lmao replacing those fat tires).
But then a C7 Z06 isn't too far now. They're dipping into the mid/low 50's, albeit 2015 models without the cooling revisions.

And then it's like why waste your time on that when the C8 is probably outclassing a GS with ease, has a major jump in supercar elements.
And then the convertible hardtop is like "why the hell not?" because let's be real, how often is this being used at the track?
And then the Z06 is literally sounding like a f***ing hypercar. Barring potential glitches coming with a lot of firsts for GM, but imagine how bland a regular C8 looks right next to that.

And then the ZR1 is going to have jet turbines and laser guns. Yes there may be a near six-digit jump at this point from a base C8, but in a broader spectrum, good luck getting something like that for the money.

Only saving grace for the C7 for me is manual and the "last of it's kind" narrative.
