This Corvette is the sum of each generation before it, but will stand alone as the new standard of performance.


Where's the "I Toldja So" button on this forum?

300 whole dollars. I guess they bought them a new coffee machine

You caught that one eh? I guess they added a few trees and some new shrubs, too.

Looks like my 65 big block will be up for sale this summer to make room for one.

Starting at $62k and maybe a slight bump in the cost of the Z51 package (maybe $6000) means just somewhere just under $70k for a Stingray Z51 1LT. 2LT will push it over $70k.

Look forward to 7.18.19, then the wait for the Z06 begins.

Note the two rectangular bulges on the hood near the windshield. That C8 is rockin' at least one hood vent.

Also note the scoop detail. It's filled to the gills with camo.

Just got the email.

Looks like HM just crossed me off the list of potential buyers. If i wanted a midengine car, I woild be buying a Lambo.

New Supra looks pretty good right about now. Maybe an AMG GT or used Viper. Or just do the smart thing and go 911. Lucky my C6 has plenty of life left in it.

RIP Corvette, sad to see you turned into something youre not.

Don't be quite so sure. After all, there is nothing in the announcement that says that the previous gen will be discontinued (unless I missed something), I'm sure they'll latch onto that. And when the C7 body goes offline, I'm sure it will then be just "because it is getting a facelift"

Can't tell for sure, but my experience would tell me that scoop is lightly camo'd and likely close to production sizing. Might be hiding some contours there, but I don't think it is fake, fits with the rest of the car too well.

Where is the email from, GM? We won't be buying Lambos at the ME price point. I love my FE M7, and will most likely keep for a long time. When the high performance C8 comes out may add one, but then the C9 will be on its way. It will probably be self driving ;/

Not to be a smart ***, but after all the leaks and speculation. The many pictures of the car running around, what were you expecting, or when did you realize it wasnt for you?
