Ok, if you are a car person by now you have heard about the New Corvette C8. What are your thoughts on it? Personally, after the shine has worn off and they start rolling out the Grand Sport and Z-versions I want to look at them again and see what the real world performance and numbers are. I'm not a Corvette guy, but have to give Chevy a lot of credit for rolling out the C8 the way they did and making a game changing car...and it still has a big NA V8.

A friend of mine is about to pull the trigger. He saw them fit two bags of golf clubs in the car, along with two people, and that may be the clincher.
I don't have his connections (to the Corvette Racing Team) or his budget, but I wouldn't mind having one. It's hard to say if they'll have a few kinks to work out with such a new design; I hope not. With such a radical new direction, I'd prefer they rename the car, but they're way too tied to the name and it's impossible to support two cars of a similar class (the traditional 'vette and the new design with a different name). It is what it is. Will be interesting to see how it times out on the Nurb, and what variants they'll add in the future. |

[IMG][/IMG] It's the first corvette that I would want to buy. Mid engine, ferrari looks, massive HP and for well under 100k. I think they are going to kill. I paid nearly 40k for a limited edition FRS a while back just because the car handles well. Had absolutely no power. If this were out it woulda been a done deal. But of course I'll wait for Top Gear guys at Grand Tour check it out. ![]() Edited: 07/23/2019 at 08:34 PM by HAPDigital |

Brand loyalty notwithstanding, it's going to make anybody in the market for a Mustang GT, Challenger R/T, M3, M4, new Supra, Cayman, Boxter and many other sports cars rethink their decision. There's a lot of bang for the buck there.

There's a lot of bang for the buck there. If it handles like a Cayman, most likely like a 911, this thing will sell like hotcakes. I'm assuming Ford is shitting their pants wishing they released a budget friendly GT. The BMW M2 still has waiting lists. This thing blows it away on paper. Good times...

Was just playing around with build your own tool on chevys website. No pricing yet, but I bet by the time you add the performance options you will want (z51, big wing, performance seats), dealer fees, tax, it will be $70 grandish out the door. Still a performance bargain. Don't like the row of switches in the interior.

I'll go against the grain here and say I don't care for the hard lines and edges, but that's my personal taste. I like the mid engine idea, maybe seeing one in person might change my mind.

I am a Corvette fan. I like it a lot. But, most likely, I will keep my current one. The current one has all I need for the present.
