C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

I never really was a corvette guy... Until now. I know what my next car is gonna be! What a crazy performance bargain!

So 3/4 of the **** that internet auto "journalists" speculate about turns out to be crap that they imagine and throw out there. Namely that the base C8 was going to cost more than $100K.

What we have here is an even more badass Chevy Fiero that is almost a supercar stock! Well done.

It would be kool if they made a 2,400lb fiero with the 4 banger from the camaro. That would be wicked. But pansies wont support it. Cuz... CROSSOVERS are better.

I have one negative criticism. The rear seems overly massive in comparison to the proportions of the rest of the car. But that said. No supercars has a usable trunk except the c8.

EDIT:

Maybe the GTR isn't obsolete yet? This interview states. The Corvette goes to 60 in under 3 seconds in the ZR1 package. Which is true of the c7 Z06 and ZR1. So we dont know the numbers of the LT2 engine yet. But I'm sure its an improvement of the stock 3.8 seconds to 60 that some reached 3.6 in a base Z.

EDIT 2:

I didnt expect anything less from a DCT. But it's nice knowing chevy didnt do a dck move...
