C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

Anything can be tuned. It just depends on how much you're willing to pay and how much time you're willing to put into it.

Sub 3 seconds to 60. Exactly how much more do you want? How fast do you need to get to the corner store for your smokes?

Omg, enough with the Camaro propaganda... It's too much. You're turning me into a true Mustang fan!!!

I like mustang's too. At least the GT PP2, GT350 and the upcoming GT500. So get you a mustsng of those models and I'll like and enjoy hearing about it IN YOUR OWN THREAD.
Just going off my personal experiences... Being C7's n 6's have LT1s same transmission suspension etc. Not sure if the ECU's are the same but we both got locked out the same year. Not really propaganda. But anyway. ..

Back to what I came back for....

Dude made a video comparing stats on competing cars. The C8 is bananas. I think I may take a trip to my dealer to crunch numbers. I think 70k will make a kool vette. I'm diggin' the fact it keeps up with cars or beats them with underdog hp numbers.

Southern Commifornia marking up corvette prices ridiculously. There are plenty of dealerships selling at sticker. Do your homework .

In 2009, Nissan broke the mold with the r35 gtr. It embarrassed cars costing twice as much and immediately had the world playing catch up, specifically Porsche and to a lesser extent gm with the vette.

We have such great c7 z06’s and 911 gt3s and turbos bc they saw the bar and then raised it themselves, the old adage about competition strengthens the breed applies for sure.

Chevy just did the same thing in 2020 with the c8.

This should kill the r35 (if Nissan has any self respect), and bring on a kick *** r36 in a few years, but then again, b/c Kicks might apply and they’ll make the next gtr a cuv hybrid.

Time to start saving up!

The configurator is sick... loving the high wing. Unlike the C7. The base car is hot... so imagine the future Z06, GS & ZR1? The ZR1 will be bugatti fast!!

Corvette is Nearly Sold Out For First Year of Production!!!

https://www.autoblog.com/2019/07/28/...arly-sold-out/

I almost reserved mine playing with the configurator last night. It's just an amazing car.
Ford made a car like this and sold it at $500,000.
I'm sure when the first reviews roll out it will be against the last Ford GT. Crazy... it's just bananas.
This car I believe will sell out the same way next year too. It's only been out a few days...

AND THEY WANNA SAY SPORTS CARS ARE DYING?

No... not at as all. Companies been trying to pass of shyt as sports cars for too long. Chevy showed the world how it's done.

Everybody likes using the phrase game changer. But corvette made the phrase real.

The Camaro is nice too.
