If GM can design cars as well as they can keep a secret, their cars would be like Ferrari by now :-)

Stuff like this makes me cringe. I've owned Vettes for years, and trust me I am far from that stereotype. You are correct in that most Vette owners have been "purists" for years. But when the C7 came out....the demographic started slowly changing. You had a ton of people who had never owned one of these cars before go out and buy one, then you saw a period of time where they were being returned or traded in as the people that bought them didn't really know what they were getting into. Even pricing reflected it. I agree with the phrase about the next 20 years. But I think it's actually the plan. They wanted to evolve to attract a whole different type of buyer, but with all of the other very nice cars that are offered right now...I think they may be a little too late in trying to develop another group of "loyaltists". I can't explain why I got into them. Family members had them when I was a kid, my Uncle still has his C1 Corvette. But ultimately it was what I "cut my teeth" on. The LT and LS engines were so easy to work on and make crazy power for little investment...and for what the car could do stock and from it's cost perspective...I just fell in love with them. It was also the first platform I started learning tuning. But for a 2nd car to go out and have fun with on the weekends, work on yourself, and price point especially if you always bought a generation behind like I do...it was perfect.

I see that GM will be releasing C8 info/photos at 10pm EST today
Don't they know that 90% of their customers will be asleep at that time ??

they also can't use computers to well. probably best to stick to TV. Maybe move the release time up to after MASH or Jeopardy airs.

A full interior picture just released.... I've been a BMW owner and now I'm a current Porsche owner. I can't believe I want an American sports car now. GM made a great looking interior. The Corvette forums stated it probably has a heads up display also.

Is there a button there that I can press for Grubhub lols. But seriously, I really don't know how they can make it for only $65K starting?

The newer Cadillac are much better and they are not that cheaper now vs. the German. The current C7 even though very fast does not have the same refine, expensive feel of say an M4. I mean it costs a lot of money to have the feel of a Porsche 911. It does not happen through accident or using cheap manufacturing process. I am sure GM can make a very fast C8 for $65K, but to compete with M4 and 911 refinement, it cannot be done at $65K. I mean you can put an engine in the middle but it does not make it an exotic like Ferrari or the likes. |

I don't mind that cockpit, but what is up with that steering wheel, sorry i mean steering square. It's atrocious.
Friend already made the joke that it's so the typical short/fat stereotype guys can get their legs under it and still see over it. |
