New Corvette

I've been seeing a few new Vettes on the road lately and I must say they are very cool. It's hard to believe that they are an "American" made car as they clearly look like a Lambo or Ferrari
I hope they sell a ton of them as I like seeing cool cars on the road being driven

I really like it too

The Philadelphia auto show had one back on display back in February - little did I know its the only auto show I could attend this year. Big improvement over the tacky looking last model.

A friend of mine got one in that wild blue - sort of Chevy's version of "Petty blue". All the options and carbon fiber trim including a big rear wing. I agree, it's cool to see cars like this mixed into regular traffic.

Love 'em.

Saw one yesterday in a dark bronze metallic color. Absolutely awesome

The 2020s sold out not to long after they were introduced.

They are an outstanding value for that type of car.

I'd take one over anything made in the US at this time...I'm thinking of trading in my 2019 Camaro SS {only 4000 mi on the clock} and going for a black one like this..

That looks nice!

Me thimks I GUS (guess) that everyone here is a cHeEzY Chebby guy now ?

So what’s the base price on one of these ? ...I looked on eBay and it seems most are going to sell for north of 100k$

Didn't say I was a Chevy guy Doc...I said it looked nice...Kinda like your Asian ladies...fun to look at but I really don't want to drive either one....

Base price for the coupe is $60K

Wow!!

Cool - $85K at the level I chose

Ok t ... but yur still cHeEzY though !

And don’t knock DRIVIN an Asian babe !!

Yo DS .... what are those options and costs ?

Major money !

I forget - things like the Z51 sport package, added stripes, rocker extensions, expensive wheels, high cost leather interior, transparent roof covers

For those who would love to have one of these Vettes in their garage, here's a chance to own one at far less than the usual price of admission. All while supporting a really worthwhile organization—The National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Iowa.

Working against my own self interest here, cuz yes, I've already bought tickets. Drawing will be at 10 PM tomorrow night. Good luck!

Paul Stanley (singer from KISS) just got a white one. He said he loves it. What's not to love? An incredible car at an incredible price point.

You got a problem with cHeEzY ? And I have more room than you!

what do the row of switches down the passenger side of the console control ?

EVERYTHING !

Is that the "Pace Car" edition?

Ok, so its sexy, does it perform as well as it looks?

By all accounts I've read, yes.

Anyone follow Cleetus McFarland on YouTube? He just got a blue one..........

Nice car, nice ford blue. I could of done without the skirt in the vid. He dont know it yet but its all down hill from here, even a 30 year gradual slope.

C8 Corvette Hoods are Opening at Speed
Imagine cruising down the road in your brand new C8 Corvette. You aren’t hammering the car, just moving along with traffic at 35 miles per hour when the hood pops open and completely obstructs your view. You didn’t touch the button to open the cover for the frunk, but it still opened.

Looks like Chevy did a great job with the new Vette. I read they acknowledged their Corvette loyal base is and has been older-and wanted to reach that younger demographic (opposite of...cough cough Harley Davidson who is happy selling to old doods.) The new Vette looks awesome and will be successful in drawing in young buyers. Its a much better car than the Toyota/BMW Supra and better value. Affordability? With as long term as car financing can be that wont be a problem.

Them cars be UGLY
Every Corvette I've rode in or drove where not well constructed or assemble cars, DANG the UAW and GM designers
Dodge Vipers are another, better story

I've been seeing these on the road now for almost a year - maybe the past 5 months without camo. I live about 12 miles from the GM Milford proving grounds. To me, they look over-styled & a bit funky. They do not look like "Corvette" to me - they look like a high-performance Nissan something. Rear half of the car looks very boxy. I don't know - they are cool, but they just do not scream Corvette. Seeing a photo is one thing, seeing what they look like going down the road is a whole nother story. I just can't really warm up to them.

This is a Corvette to me....

327/365 4 Speed

Mine

I have a friend still waiting on his to be built. It was suppose to be built on Feb. 8 but due to covid it's been delayed. 3 so far have arrived at our dealer.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that my buddy just took delivery of his 2020 'Vette.It was supposed to have the big carbon fiber wing but it wasn't available when his was built so it has the standard wing. Off-white perforated leather. He stopped by today and we went for a ride. It's zippy!

a little off topic & price point, but .....
a friend stopped by on Sunday & took me for a ride in his new Taycan - very "ZIPPY" like a slot car

For some reason I can't find a 2020 Viper on Dodge's website...

For that matter, went to 2 local dealers a few weeks ago to look have a look at a Charger or Challenger (wanted an AWD daily driver), but all I saw was trucks, Jeeps, vans, 1 new V6 Challenger, and a couple of used Chargers and 300s. I guess the move away from cars is almost complete. It's OK, though, because the local Acura dealer had plenty of V6 AWD TLXs on the lot with great incentives... got one sitting in the driveway now - Stellantis lost out because I don't want to drive around in a slug of an SUV every day.

For the record, I've seen a few new Corvettes on the road and I like them, even though I prefer front engine rear drive configurations.

Only looks good in black.

in other colors, not a fan of that black part on the rear intake.

I think it looks a little out of proportion in the rear where the intake sticks out as far as the rear fender.

Hence, I think the ONLY C8 I would like would be the upcoming Z06 or ZR1 w/bulging rear fenders.

And good gawd, the rear wing on the base car is just plain stupid looking.

Other than that, I saw the coupe and 'vert at SEMA 2019....I liked the 'vert better I think.

Still too much wheel gap. Needs lowering.

i've seen a few around and think they look great. i'd drive the hell out of one.

It is quite surprising to see so many nice words about a Chevrolet product from "Mopar" guys.
Every thread about a new Charger or Challenger has about a 50/50 brag versus complain ratio.

And what does that tell you?

Seen it as SEMA last year, loved it. Gonna wait a few years for the used ones to go down in price, then have a fun car that will have a bunch of aftermarket support for it. Currently, twin turbo's and carbon kits are the latest add-ons for the new Vette. Seen rendering of the new Viper for 2021, looks like an import racer designed it, plus the V-10 is not even an option.

yea i still don't like a 4 door charger and the looks of the challenger. so whats the point? just because i like my classic mopars doesn't mean i have to be a fan boy of the new stuff fiat is building. the power they are making is cool. just not the cars themselves for me.
