Default C8... Here we go!

Putting my C7 order in this month... can't wait.

This month's C&D projects the C8 Zora as a go for late 2016... (my sources indicate that Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster are already on the WL).

Anyway, I assume C&D has some legit sources... any scoop?

There really needs to be a C8 forum.

Me thinks, in this instance, C&D stands for Crazy and Dumb.

From what I hear, a briefcase with 20K in Scottish Pounds was quietly delivered to a certain unnamed Corvette Dealer...

And they were damp... (just saying...)

That's more likely than any C8 being produced as a 2016 model year, much less the halo car for a generation.

Does anyone actually think the C7 will be a two year run?

Point taken. How about a Zora or Mid-engine Corvette forum then?

I heard that the C8 will be out the same year as the 84 MPG Elio.

When you can order it, it's real. Before that, it's BS to sell magazines.

Suggested this a while back and a Mod shot it down because he said there wouldn't be enough traffic to justify a new forum category. Maybe a "Future Corvette" forum for all speculation now until eternity?

Jerry, why so little faith?

The mid-engine ZR1/Zora is coming out the same time as the de-contented, 5.5L, 400HP C7 that Motor Trend quacked about for 2 years....

It could happen

I actually think that would be a good idea. either way, it sure would clean up C7 Gen Dis!

It would be interesting to be able and go back and read all the speculation and rumors in one place. See who was right and who was wrong and who was very wrong. I wish they would reconsider.
