26+ years experience as a manager of a 100+ vehicle fleet (and conversations with other fleet managers) is what I base my comments on. GM is forever giving more problems than the rest put together.

Read the second sentence after your highlight genius.... it makes my first sentence self explanatory. So stick to a Canadian forum if you have no sense of american inference.

When I said that... it wasnt meant for exotics. I meant cars it competes with.

i.e.the cayman
The audi r8
The GTR
and the base mc laren.
Lotus Evora

They're going to have to do more.

Not Ferrari's and lambos or Bugatti's. Come on. Really?. And we are talking about corvettes and sports cars... Not your fleet Malibu. Get real. That's like slighting the Z because NISSAN CVT's get changed every 60,000 miles. Or saying the Z sucks cuz the juke has 117hp... smh

Disgusting FoRd MuRsTaAnG cultist cop pulls over amazing new C8

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt_pGLbiKuY

But really, the entire Ford fleet sans the GT is pretty much susceptible to being unmarked/undercover. I remember seeing a group meet at a gas station. I first thought, "whoa that group of people all have bad taste in cars", but then I realized they're all cops.

Default Corvette ranked second longest ownership longevity!

https://www.corvetteblogger.com/2019...p-the-longest/

Not too many sports cars on the list but Corvette is #2 but #1 as a sports car.

The mustang is a few spots lower but is the #2 car on the list.

It seems many owners aspire to have a new and old vette in their garages. It could even just be a matter of a C5 and then-new C7.

The elusive two-Corvette garage. I mean I'm sure there's many Z owner equivalents, as well as for for other namesakes.

And well, technically, something like the C5 ZO6 is actually still a pretty fast car. Might even be faster than a 370z in every which way. Just have to bear the eyesore interior.

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.

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.

Very fresh... I think this is going to be the real exotic looking one between the coupe and this spyder.

Talking

Ain't nobody getting anything until the strike is over. Now there is talk that GM will close plants after the strike and move things to Mexico.
