Total B.S. on that pricing. There is no way in hell it's $3000 for the 2LT trim, they added the $1725 NAV/PDR to it and cross traffic, park assist, blind spot, rear camera/mirror, among other new things along with everything that was already in the 2LT for the C7 that was about $5k... I'D expect the 2LT to be $8k MINIMUM and it being that low would be shocking to me.

Most pragmatic and intelligent comment I have seen since C8 got launched. Its a business, beyond drooling enthusiasts, wide eyed first time aspirants, and you tubers et al, its still a Business. Remember how GM ignored "Hardcored PURISTS" and changed circular tail lights because it was required for c7 vette. So keep that in mind always. Cold hard fact that it is a business. GM has launched this C8 to make money and after lot of time a product is available which will hopefully ensure both Top Line and Bottom Line Growth on GM's Balance sheet.

I received an allocation on 26 Corvettes. yesterday, I took our 26th deposit for sold orders, yesterday. I have never seen the excitement for any Chevrolet like I have for this car. Even surpasses the C5. I truly wondered what in the HELL Chevrolet was thinking when they went to a mid engine car. Simply put...they were 100% correct, and I was 100% wrong.

When GM did this with the IROC getting the Vettes 350 tpi back in the mid-1987 model year I had to wait almost 4 months to get the one I'd ordered, in late 1986. I had enough trouble getting a salesman to even talk to me about ordering one at the age of 21. Had to go back to the dealership with my uncle to get to the boss man to even get someone to take me seriously. THEN ... when the car was delivered (first one in that area since it was only about 40 miles from the Norwood, OH plant) they wanted me to let the car sit in the showroom for 2 - 3 weeks! I told them NO, and went and picked it up the day the delivery truck showed up, lol.

The price is still reasonable for what it offers. I wouldn't mind. As for the Zora...then the twin turbo V8 will probably be the same as the Z06, the 5.5L. AND...when the C7 Z06 came out, at 650 hp and 650 lb-ft, it outpowered the C6 ZR1...at supposedly 745 hp, even if 10 less hp, the C8 Z06 will likely do the same to the C7 ZR1. They'd have to put the twin turbo V8 with two power ratings, both for the Z06 and the ZR1...it's easier to just set up one setup and skip the other. Who knows...maybe the Z06 could pack 800 hp, for all we know...that would already put it ahead of the McLaren 720S by a large margin... And about the lift sound, I do recall seeing a Ferrari (Enzo, I guess) with the system and it, too, made the sound. Maybe not as loud, but definitely was there. Perhaps they'll still tweak the sound deadening to fix this before production starts, or they switch to a quieter motor...anyway, as long as the system works reliably, I don't think I'd mind much. Fingers crossed to see what path GM will follow with the C8... Already dreaming of a 427-ci stroked LT2 pushing 650-700 hp...with no turbo's, old school, cubic inches! 😆😈

I'm still picking they will be sticking with the current LS series engine platform and not be offering a twin OH cam engine. At this stage GM have totally mastered the power and reliability of the supercharged engine whilst retaining the current valve train configuration. I also cant help thinking that the Corvette owner has always been a 'tinkerer' and to be able to twist a spanner at your Corvette on the weekend is part of the Corvette heritage. There will also be those who want to extract more power from the engine - and the aftermarket industry is totally cranked for all things smallblock, imagine trying to cater for the complexities of the OHC fraternity. I spoke to my local GM principal who owns a McLaren 720. I had a look at the vehicle while talking to him. Its a wonderful piece of engineering but has he said, you cannot even change your own oil and the rear hatch needs tools to open it up! Its a vehicle you only drive - you dont/cant tinker. .... and as for the engine - if its not broken, don't try to fix it!

There will be plenty of C8s available when they see the price for options and many are waiting for the Z06. C8 purchase price of 60,000 and telling everyone there sold out all BS. C8 buyers will see with a few options C8 60,000 corvette going to be 70,000. Higher price means additional tax and insurance that will exceed there budget. I predict C7 prices continue to drop. C7 Z51 20 to 30,000 lower price than a C8 will start looking much better for some and they'll cancel there C8 orders.

Right from the "get go," this was apparent it's a marketing gimmick. In GM's hay days of production they were producing well over 30k. Plus the "waves" will be done quarterly, well at least for the first two quarters of 2020, then maybe the flood gates will open. Plus, for anyone that's interested in putting a deposit down with a dealer who maybe has only 50 allocations and they already have 50 deposits, still put your deposit down, which effectively puts you on a waiting list then. The point being not all of the first 50 depositors will follow through with their purchase which means you just moved up a notch or ten. :-) As to the front-end lift noise, oh it's terrible, oh the humanity! I'm no longer interested in the C8. NOT!!! IMO the C8 has nothing that's a deal breaker, not even not getting it in a manual. Then again, we have to wait and see what the pricing will be and that will be in fifteen days. Save the Wave.

Anyone who has ever bought a brand new car knows what a starting price is. lol The fact that you can get a 1LT Z51 C8 and do 0-60 in under 3 seconds for around $65k plus tax & fees is AMAZING! These things will sell like hot cakes. Unfortunately, for the people who aren't part of the first wave of allocation may be waiting months for their C8.

GM stopped plant tours at Bowling Green in March 2019. They also stopped building the C7. So no eyes are in the plant for the change over. It takes about 2 months to completely change over a auto plant. Mid July 2019. GM hires 450 NEW employees at the Bowling Green plant. That will be the SECOND SHIFT. GM is in preproduction now, slow and go, fixing problems, training people. I expect GM will be up to 150-200 cars per day by the end go August 2019. C8's arriving in mid Sept 2019. That December start date is a lie... GM doesn't make money with a plant sitting idle and empty from March to December. "ALLOCATIONS" are a lie too. By Dec 2019 there will be INVENTORY sitting on lots across America.

At 8:45 in the video, you show pricing. However, I don't see an option on the C8 Configurator for an exposed carbon fiber raised rear spoiler ($2650 on your pricing sheet). Also, the official order guide only shows the (5ZU) High Wing Spoiler, and the (5ZZ) High Wing Spoiler - Carbon Flash Painted. Other than those two options, you either get: a.) no spoiler with the base model; or b.) you get the small spoiler with the Z51 package. Where is the info on the exposed carbon fiber raised rear spoiler? I'm definitely interested in that.

On GM's configurator website it says that the options are not set in stone yet basically. Meaning we may get additional options or even lose some that are shown there. If this pricing is legit from GM then we would see additional options most likely.

@@HorsePowerObsessed Dunno. Most likely, expensive. The most shocking statement at launch was definitely the 0-60 under 3 mention, but it was non-commital, not official. The RWD/DCT math at 495 HP/3500 pounds says 3.5 secs is the minimum possible 0-60. Great, but not uncommon. I know from my slighty juiced 650 HP (Dynojet 555 WHP) RWD F-Type V8S (50/50 weight distro) at 3560 lbs, that MP4Ss on my car are not capable of breaking 3.45 secs (Dragy verified at 2127 DA). Toyo R888Rs shave another 0.50 seconds. The OEM P-Zeros were high 3 tires. So I find a sub-3 sec on MP4Ss @ maybe 420 WHP highly suspect. Somone show me another MP4S RWD car with a sub 3 Dragy-verified 0-60 time. I don't think that exists.

Really Nice job 1as usual, any thoughts on seat costs and I am still anxiously waiting for your take on the seats. I'm guessing I'll go for the middle seat as it will probably be a nice compromise not quite a comp but more than a regular touring (I hope). I have driven the Z06/Z07 with the comp seats and really likes them but I suspect this new one will be even more track focused and may not be suitable to long hauls.

If I was a betting man I'd drop money on that being the sound of the production lift system on a standard suspension system C8. That's the sound of an electric motor running a gear reduction. It also explains the agonizingly slow speeds for the up & down motions. I just hope they can avoid this in the C8s with magnetic suspension systems via programing.
