    Mike, a well-reasoned review of the selection process. As far as C8s go, there won’t be any groundbreaking design changes between the ‘24 & ‘25, and you’re right on the money with an inevitable price increase. Last chance on a couple of discontinued colors is compelling, too. Thanks for giving a bunch of Corvette fans something to think about!

    First, I am a car collector. Always loved corvettes as my first one was a 1962 C1. I purchased it way back in 1978. Still own it today, along with 6 other vettes, C2, C3, C4, C6, and my favorite, which is a C7 2019 ZR1 Coupe with the 3ZR trim package. I do own a 2022 C8 Z51 package with endless upgrades. I also was on the list at the same dealer for a Z06. After 18 months of no movement, I lost interest. So, I decided to treat myself to an upgrade instead. Just recently took delivery of my 2024 Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato Coupe AWD. It has 631 hp 5.2 V10. It is mind-blowing to say the leadt. Yes, the price sticker was twice as much as the Z06, but they are also not apples for apples! The Lambo is far superior. It's GM's loss!
    I am more than satisfied with the 22 C8 Z51 at a price point all in at $109,000k. I give GM credit for finally making the mid-engine. It was an 8 month wait for the 22' C8. 12k miles, no issues! I just don't agree with the approach that GM continued with post covid. I just can't wrap my head around C8 allocations and how the Z06 ate into the overall C8 allocations.
    My wife will just have to settle with her 2022 Ferrari F488 Pista. She's happy, so I am thrilled. The other perk is that she's hotter than her car! Enjoy your rides!

    As a C7 Z06 owner, Cacti is the best, most interesting color they have, and it's gone for 2025.
    That's reason enough for me
    The Hysteria color is also a fail, as it's more blue than purple
    It's a purple for when you don't really want to do purple

    Sitting October 2, 2024, plenty of 2024’s sitting at dealerships and they should all be willing to price below MSRP. High interest rates are probably the big killer on any car sale at the moment. I got a 2024 2LT no frills, not highly optioned, price was good for the car. I believe I heard about a $5,000 price increase for a 2025 so getting one now made sense. Fall can be a great season yet. I could have ordered and timed for a spring delivery but decided to go with in stock selection. They are moving as dealer inventory has reduced since September 1 as I was tracking.

If not they can keep the car.

    Another reason to order a 2024: per the "Infrastructure Bill" passed in 2023, HR3684, new and ridiculous and absurd mandates being imposed on manufacturers forcing implementation by the 2027 model year on ALL cars, foreign and domestic. The worst of these is the "kill switch" that disables your car against your will and can be implemented remotely by law enforcement or other "authorities". If you think there is not a huge potential for abuse here, you're living in Lala Land. This is an outrageous violation of the fourth amendment that almost NOBODY is aware of. AND IT HAS ALREADY PASSED! Aside from the infringement on our rights as driving citizens, can you just imagine how much all of this crap will add to the price of cars? Here is an excerpt from a summary of the bill:
    "The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act requires the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to develop a safety mechanism to prevent drunk driving, which causes about 10,000 deaths each year in the United States as of 2021, which will be rolled out in phases for retroactive fitting, and will become mandatory for all new vehicles in 2027. The technology, which is being developed by NHTSA in cooperation with the Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety and Swedish automobile safety company Autoliv, consists of a breath-based and a touch-based sensor that stops the car if the driver is above the legal blood alcohol content, and will be open-sourced to automobile manufacturers.
    Under the law, the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) will be required to develop regulations for a system that can detect distracted, fatigued, or impaired drivers. The NHTSA has recommended implementing a camera-based warning system for the former, similar to a technology mandated by the European Union in July 2022.
    The law also requires the NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program to test collision avoidance systems in preparation for new federal regulations; new DOT reporting requirements for statistical data on crashes involving motorized scooters and electric bicycles; new federal regulations on headlamps; research directives on technology to protect pedestrians and cyclists, advanced driver-assistance systems, federal hood and bumper regulations, smart city infrastructure, and self-driving cars; and a new Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) office specializing in cybersecurity."

    Are you somehow benefiting from making the advice of buying a new 2024. You do know you will lose about $20 K just driving off the dealers lot if you pay sticker. Look for $10k or more discount from dealer on a new 2024. And then friends plan on keeping the Corvette for at least a couple of years and go ahead and put some miles on it (5k plus per year) there are different ways to play the game but this is my view. I have owned over 100 cars in 60 years from Ferrari's to Volkswagen's over 50 new Chevy's. You know what they say about opinions, just like ---holes everyone has one.
