The E-Ray supposedly replaces the Grand Sport in the lineup so the Z06 body was expected.

That was what the Grand Sport was in prior gens, just sans electric motors. Only reason why I would be upset is simply due to E Ray would be reducing how many Z06’s GM can produce. But I hope it does lead to people bailing on the Z for E Ray. |

Haha, that makes sense
You know, there's a part of me that prefers the LT2 sound. E-ray could preserve that along with more power + AWD. It's intriguing.

The performance will probably be close to the Z06 due to the electric motors+AWD. E Ray may be a Z06 in a more practical and livable version. Better fuel economy, ride, etc. If my brain was making the decision, E Ray is probably the model for me. Now I think jalopnik is pulling numbers out of their rears if they think E Ray will cost $150K. I am betting more along the lines of $80K range. It will perfectly slot between the Stingray and Z06, which for many may get them to change over since I bet the Z06 is pushing their finances a bit with its $20K over past Z06 models. |

I guess there will be a weight penalty though so to be tuned a grand tourer is the direction.

I fully admit if I ever see the Z06, it probably won't be tracked. Hence my comment of if my brain was making the decision. We shall see how many people are using their brain vs heart. |

I moved from Powertrain Forecasting to Consulting a couple years ago. At the point in time that I left Powertrain Forecasting I had forecast the Corvette lineup would be:
That was two years ago. I was convinced (and hopeful) that ERay was just a project name and that they would launch it as Grand Sport. A little bit off on the Z06 specs. Oh well. But otherwise it’s tracking pretty much as I had forecast.

Celestiq reportedly sold out for at least the next 18 months.

Production is slated for 2 units/day so... It would appear there are far more people ready to plunk down $300k+ for a bespoke Cadillac than we thought.

4th gen Equinox. Timeline is odd on this one. Might be a 2024 model released late 2023 instead.
