Give me a break. Chrome isn't my favorite, but I would take Chrome over black any day. From any distance, black wheels just make the wheel well look like a big, black void. If someone likes...

I think that is the OP'a point. Some people won't buy a C8 because of the high gas prices. If it were just high gas prices, I think it would push some potential buyers to not buy, but it wouldn't...

I would LOVE it if we went back to simpler cars without so much technology. A world of lighter and simpler cars would be wonderful in my opinion, even if it lowered overall performance. I don't...

People are really out of touch. Of course the Corvette median income is going to be higher than the overall median income, but suggesting $200K income is "pretty low" is insane. Takes 1 minute of...

I guess if you own a C8 then you are in the stone age. You could go buy a Tesla, but instead you are driving an ancient internal combustion engine car from a car company that is decades behind...

Agree. The Miata is probably the last car that would go electric or drop a manual transmission. That car is all about fun. Fun to drive and low weight takes precedence over all out performance. ...

I agree it is very analogous to the arguments around manual transmissions. And just like Chevy turned away from manual transmissions in the name of performance over everything, they will go towards...

0-60 times matter to a degree to me, but at this point, the Corvette far exceeds what I care about. I wouldn't want a car that did 0-60 in greater than 7 seconds and probably appreciate the speed...

Agree. The Ferrari looks nice. I wouldn't want one due to cost unless I was incredibly rich such that money just didn't matter to me, but it is a beautiful car.

In my opinion, silver looks WAY better. Except for very close up, black just creates a big black void in the wheel well. I want the wheels to accent the car, not disappear with the tires.

Totally agree on the black wheels. I don't love chrome, but I hate black wheels. It just creates a giant black void under the wheel well. I don't see as many black wheels as a I did a few years...

If you like to drive manuals, get the Aston. I think the Aston is the better looking car, but the C8 will be faster if that is important to you.

It all depends on what you are looking for in a...

It should be pretty easy to look at current prices of used C7 with Z51 and without Z51 and see the price delta's. I seriously doubt the delta is near as much as the original cost of the option, but...

Most people are not paying $60k or more for trucks. You can get them that high, but most aren't. And you can usually get great deals on trucks. $10k below MSRP isnt hard on the more expensive...

Why mess with something that isnt remotely broken? It would just be being different for the sake of being different. If you use buttons like on the Ferrari, you have to use a different hand for each...

Well. No manual transmission. Not something I would ever buy. Not unexpected, but disappointing, especially since it looks better than I expected.
