The renderings are a bit dark. I think I like the side scoops, but hard to tell with the lighting. They look agressive and unique. Hopefully, the reveal will be revealing.

If it turns out that "kids climbing to see into the engine bay" becomes a rampant problem with the C8, I will actually livestream myself eating my own shoes. I'll blend them up and drink them through a straw. Feel free to quote me on that.

And just like that, the C7 selling price just tanked. Freaking love it! Well done Chevy, well done! You knocked this one out of the park.

I have a 95, 02' Z06, and a 2016 C7 Stingray sitting in my garage. The car revealed in these pictures is way overstyled. I hope this is a fake. If real, I'll wait to draw my final conclusion when I see it in the flesh.

As another gentleman stated - truly the dumbest thing to pick on the c8. The clear bay view hopefully INSPIRES YET ANOTHER younger generation to "fall in love," w the Vette, like I did as a youngster! They want to look - go for it. I'll probably get it wrapped anyway.

I fell in love with the lines of the car, and later the history, the fact that Americans can and DO produce a TOP notch sports car that can compete with overpriced lottery winner exotics. Not to mention Corvettes are relatively rare in the tundras of MN. It's fun!

The Porsche 991GTS and 992C2S both do 3 flat with 450hp(realistically around 480-490hp)and RWD.

You never driven a mid engine car? That 0-60 is absolutely real.
