      gumballer133 Yup every 25 year old kid will have one, just like you see them in streets filled with Chargers, Challengers, and Camaros.
      Sadly all this performance for this little money is only telling me how bad the quality is going to be as far as materials, interior etc.

      Gunsmoke916 I’m putting 2 and 2 together my friend. $60k dollars for all that performance? No way it’s going to have a decent quality interior, let alone a world class supercar interior. The last Corvette that performed like this was the $100k+ Z06. Yet this is almost half the price, something’s not right.
      Unless of course it has the build quality of a Mustang, then I can see where the $60k is coming from.

Yea it’s not for a status Symbol, to buy and put in the garage and expect it to increase in value, yes they will sell a ton of them, and the value will drop used, because there will be many for sale by people that don’t mind loosing money, and that’s when guys like me buy, let the first idiot loose all that money from driving it off the lot,

    @stevereisman6872 5 років тому

    I realize few people read the comments but I just want to say that I'm VERY proud of Chevy. I own a Ferrari and I've always thought the Vette's had the power but the looks were dated and performance limited.....and the rear-end never looked like more then a square butcher block. This 2020 car changes EVERYTHING! If it didn't have the Corvette badge, you'd think it was a McLaren, Ferrari or some exotic. Yeah, the rear end still echoes of the Camero but beyond that the engineers and designers at Chevy really knocked this one way the fuck out of the ballpark and brought Chevy back to the forefront of any buyers list. Instead of falling by the wayside, Chevy stepped-up and answered back big-time and I'm proud of them....and at this price point I think they're leaving $20-$70k on the table. It's going to be VERY hard for someone to pull the trigger on an Italian sports car when they can have this for a fraction of the price. Anyone who spends more is doing so purely for snob and boasting issues because when it comes to performance, looks and practicality this 2020 Vette is dollar-per-value soaring way higher then any other manufacturer can even conceive of touching. Not since the Apollo program can we be so proud!

      This comes in base at let's say 57$.
      Even the 2018 c7 declining in value once these hit the market will be down to 20-30k even 18k in some 50k+ mileage ones.
      I commend Chevy for being the company that wants people to drive thier cars.
      I loved the c7, it drives like a dream.
      I was skeptical about the looks on the c8 but I'm sure with the aero, I'll love it more.
      With the z06 model in the future, the zr1, and even the z51. These can top out at 60-70k which is 2008 gtr territory.
      With all these new amenities this is a no brainier. New daily, I definitely think so.

    This is very Chevy Vette. The basic component of a car is the engine, it’s heart. What I see is the best development of the Chevy small block. My first car was a ‘55 Chev with a small block 265. It was the best running of all my cars pre 1990’s.
    This new design is thrilling to me and I cannot wait to drive one. I always wanted a Ferrari, but not the problems with their engines. Now an American Icon on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, also the 50th anniversary of my induction to the Air Force, hits a high that makes me proud and a possible new Corvette owner.

      If you choose to pay a makeup. That's on you. It's pretty simple, dealers will tell you if they are especially if you put a small deposit down. The way I figured is even if I have to fly to another state and have the car shipped back, it's would be cheaper than an insane markup. 400 round-trip plane ticket and between 1500 to 2000 grand shipping. Save 7500 on a 10 grand markup.

      yo D.F...I have the LT1 in a 14 c7 vert. A6...I would like to own a Z06 or Zr1...but I am glad I don't, because with 460 hp, I can barely restrain myself from going over the speed limits ..which are too low for the freeways...NOW...I don't track my car, but it would be a nice entry at a local car show...any more power is just a quicker way to losing my Lie.Sins...Throttle Discipline, or else.

      Z51 should be 75k, convertables at 70-80k. then work the way up to when they roll out the ZR1 in about 4 years in the mid 150's. The Zora, if it happens will be the race spec and yeah.. dunno bout that one.

    I gotta say as someone who was disgusted by GM's lack of quality and lack of care for engineering I gotta say they've came a long way since 10 years ago. I used to get the distinct impression that the engineers office and the accountants office were one and the same. It's nice to see them finally trying. I wish them the best of luck.
