This is why I said a couple weeks back the Z51 ain't shyt. The real base corvette is the Grand Sport. The brakes are kinda small for the power. The tires are ok but not truly track sized tires.

Knowing theres a GS model. The z51 isn't worth it imho.

So here's an article about what the Ferrari forums are saying about corvette.

https://www.motor1.com/features/3623...ette-2020/amp/

And its true...
The Acura NSX and Audi R8 might as well end production.
Super cars now have to be hyper cars at super car prices.
The GTR is no longer a conversation. AT ALL

The Supra should be sold at Z sport prices.
The 86 needs to start at $22,000. It's original designated MSRP until toyota felt the need to think that car was more special than $22k :rolleyes:

Why does it scare me that the "features" list for a high performance car like this (for all intents and purposes, a supercar), are almost all about creature comforts. I guess I like my sports cars "raw" whereas this is "well done with mashed potatoes, double gravy, veg, Caesar salad, appetizer, desert, big gulp, and a side of fries"!

The good news is that none of those up-sell packages have justification for huge price increases. I suspect they might, just the same, though.

My Z06 wouldn’t even be able to keep your car in its rear view mirror for more than 2 seconds, could go tens of thousands of miles more than yours without a mechanical hiccup, finish a 5 lap race around Big Willow against your’s destroying it and that includes me stopping for breakfast. Not to mention loaded with electronic options and an a/c that I can personally attest will keep you cool driving with top off in 90+F temps. Oh, and the V8 sound in Z06 will make your’s sound like a squeaky toy in comparison.>>

How about your car? >>

Best part of the article. Pwned.
