C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

Looks like home run for GM.
Price point is crazy for car.
The car will also be made with right hand drive.
Watch out Europe.

I also heard from a good source.
C8 in future will be a hybrid with electric motor in front and all wheel drive.
He stated that engineers have planned this from the start.

I’m a bit gun shy with GM and first year rollouts, but I’m awaiting price book and may look to pull the trigger in late summer 2020 when pricing settles in. With this car if the base/z51 are producing the numbers they claim I don’t see a need to wait for z06 or Zr1.

I see people debating this and Supra, I think this will cause toyomw or BMYota to go back and figure some stuff out quickly because I think it took all wind out of whatever sail they were flying while teasing for past few years. .Nissan themselves better figure it out because with their recent GTR unjustified money grab will drive sales to zero as well. I mean I’ll wait for numbers but 200k plus nismo GTR or 3 of these cars and cash leftover.

I've been a defender of the Supra. I feel like there's more to it than meets the eye.

But I mean the vents are fake, justified as "being ready for mods".
There is supposedly vacancies ready for coolers as well.
The C8, for a bit more, already gives you that, plus 2 cylinders (not to mention Supra fans want to throw in a 2JZ into the current Supra), sub-3 second 0-60,probably 200mph given the C7 Z51 did like 190, a targa top, probably gonna see the thing continue its LeMans GT success, made in 'murica. I mean the interior seems more bonkers as well.

I am aware the SF90 is probably going to run circles around the C8, but the C8 is every bit of what a supercar has been the past decade when it comes to the fundamental blueprint. It's so crazy to think such money can buy that now.

The Supra didn't seem so bad, and started getting my interest with the power bump revealed, but GM just came about with the best car on planet Earth as of the past few days.

Mind right now is saving up for hopefully a late 2020 or 2021 purchase — there will hopefully be less likelihood of premiums and major issues will also hopefully be figured out. Manual transmission aside, this is literally the car I feel a lot of people were looking for from any manufacturer that has been involved with sports cars.

Nice, poor Supra. Man this thing is gonna destroy the Supra for not much more money, well worth the premium over the Supra. Toyota is like dayuuum, was not expecting this so soon to take the hype away from the Supra!

Ventruck

From the articles I've read, GM has put a lot of thought into...everything. Looks are each to their own, but this car's very existence right now is pretty insane.

Like "maybe I don't want a bargain on a used C7 anymore" insane. Hope there's no reliability issues.

The SF90 is the new hybrid supercar. I think the "competitor" is the F8 Tributo


From an engineering standpoint, the new Vette looks good on paper. It's nice they're finally going with the MR layout. I still woudn't get one just due to preference.

Wait for the C8 Z06 the following year. Next year's reveal. It has a rumored 4.2 liter Twin turbo charged engine with 720-750hp. That car will be on my to get list for the wife. LOL

Rusty

If the Vette works from the get go, with little problems. And gets great reviews. It will blow everything out of the water. A lot who are sitting on the fence will go with the Vette. Long as the dealers don't jack the price up.

There are dealers who sell at MSRP all day long.

Rusty

The C8 first year might be different.

Noop, Rick Conti, Chevy Dude, or the guy up in your neck of the woods that sells to Streetspeed717.

ZCanadian

Eventually, the market will adjust to MSRP or less.

But initially, if one dealership sells for list, he’ll sell the two cars that he receives in the first 6 months, and yes you can sign a deal for yours at list, but don’t expect to keys for a long time. Or order to suit (base, colour, etc) at list for a while.

Patience will be the key to getting a good car at a good price.

My Z was one of the best cars I've ever owned. My complaints on the Z were from day one but I still bought one n had it 6 yrs cuz I loved the drive.

My issues were the

3 gauge quality
The Z Deserved the Bose stereo in the base car that was in the touring for the money.
The sticks on the manual and auto were cheaply done and it was a contact part so I was upset.
Lastly. They dumbed down our Z that JDM had like.
AUTO START
POWER FOLDING MIRRORS
REAR FOGLIGHT.

Nissan duped us... nevertheless the Z was an AWESOME drive.

I love my Nismo. It is going no where. LOL Not one thing annoys me about it even before the TT upgrade.
