Glad it exists, but hard to see it being a strong seller at an even higher MSRP than C7.

Im glad theyre doing it, but still, it seems like a huge gamble for GM, especially considering that their existing Vette customer/owner base is generally loathe to accept something even as small as a change in taillight shape, much less an entirely new vehicle design and configuration. My hunch is that theyre trying to open this up to a whole new market, while not totally alienating that in which theyve been established.. We shall see. .I hope it works; Id love to get me one in a couple of years if it all works out.
