A bit late but I honestly have no interest in the C8 once I heard it did not offer a manual. That is literarlly my favorite part of a sports car. It's a shame, I've always aspired to own a Vette, almost did buy a used one instead of the Camaro. Now if I were to upgrade over the Camaro, I'd go 911 with a 7spd manual.

Saw way too many people comparing the 2SS price to that of the new Vette BASE price. I think a 1SS comparison is more realistic since the base Corvette is just that. I paid 33K for a 1SS so a base Corvette is almost double the price. I don't think too many people would cross shop because a high end buyer of an SS want's the extras, which the 60K Corvette won't have.
