I thought what the hell. I don't really want one, but if it lands in my lap then why not? Ideally they'd make another grand sport with the flat plane motor, but the Eray is supposed to slot in there but retain the old motor. The wife and I don't need a race car to roam around in. We just want it to look and sound like one

I definitely think we will see some big markups on the Z06 initially. Once the chip shortage is resolved, I think it will come back down to earth. Corvettes have historically been bad investments, even the special editions. I bet you'll be able to get a regular C8 for $50K in 5 years. |

I'm on the list for one at MSRP...can't come soon enough. I was totally impressed with just my "regular" Stingray and can't imagine what the Z06 will be like. If the MSRP is anywhere near the projected mid-90k range, it will be an absolute steal from bang-for-the-buck perspective.

The Z06 seems like it will sound amazing and be super fun on a track. For the street and my personal taste I wish it came with a manual transmission and was styled differently inside and out. I can't afford both so it's the manual M2 CS for me. If I could afford both, that's getting into GT3 territory and I would be thinking about that for great sound, looks, and manual.

I must admit though, your friend's car is a significant improvement on styling - I'd even go so far as saying, stunning really. I'm impressed America

Amazing bang for the buck but I can't gel with the styling. Perhaps my opinion would change after seeing it in person. For now there are other cars I'd rather order.

I think the added bits in the z06 helped the proportions significantly. The base c8 looks a little strange, bit with the added lip and rear spoiler it seems to have changed the look substantially to my eye

Agree but I still need to see it in person. I do wonder how well the design will age.

Really? Wow! I hadn't checked the pricing at all. I assumed it was 100K plus. With markup obviously it will be. It'll be interesting to see 5-7 years in where prices settle in on the car. That's pretty amazing!

I'm sure my spec would top 100. I bet it doesn't take much. I want the upgraded interior, and z06 look. I bet those carbon wheels are a pricey option.

I like that this monster has been spawned in November as the lyrics "so ugly, so ugly" play in my head every gone I see it. Apparently one excuse for how ugly it is was that it had to fit golf clubs in the rear! Go figure.

Looks are subjective, but I'd say you are not in agreement with 95% of the public on this one. I have seen few cars get as many positive comments from non-car-people as the C8. The rear could be better, but every other angle is great.

A lot of people like Crocs. I'd imagine a Venn diagram of people that like Crocs and also like this car would be revealing.

I think you are stereotyping a bit here. Not all Americans wear Crocs.
Now, 90% of all American males over 35 do wear large beige trousers though. I think it is written in law. Possibly part of the constitution. I am not sure of this overall Venn diagram but I'd comfortably say 100% of C8 purchasers would sign the deal wearing large beige trousers. |
