End of the day it is obvious that GM is making the best performance cars for the least amount of money. It's not even up for debate anymore. |

Your assuming that a Mustang buyer is interested in a Vette. The C7s were available in the 50k range and the Mustang still sold great. Did the 50k base C7 steal Camaro buyers away? At the end of the day most will purchase what their passion is. In regards to the C8 yes it is a cool car now but as soon as a Z06 option is offered it will be forgotten about. At least with a ZL1-E you are at the top of the Camaro food chain. I'd still rather have a ZL1.

While I agree that the C8 Z06 will have everyone forgetting the standard C8, that is a far way off. And even then the standard C8 will still be awesome. The Z06 will just be more awesomer. And the ZR1 will make everyone forget about the Z06. So I'm not sure what point you were trying to make. Would I rather have the Z06? Sure. Am I gonna wait until whenever to get my hands on a C8? No. I'm getting an optioned C8 as soon as my Hellcat lease is up. Then when the Z06 arrives I'll decide whether to ditch the ZL1 or the C8 standard Vette or both or whatever... |

You mention you would rather have a ZL1, me at that price range sign me up for the C8 every day and twice on sunday. Someone else still might say don't care give me the GT500 or RE. I am sure the C8 is going to steal some initial sales, but at the same time the RE, ZL1 and GT500 will still have their markets and still have people buying them up. Some people jsut aren't corvette people, some people might just want to own the most powerful Mustang ever, some people may just want the best Camaro ever and some people want the big bad Dodge. |

I don't think the old-man sterotype will fit anymore. Most of the old guys are going to hate this because it is too big a departure from the good-ole-days, and no manual. And young folks could care less about tradition, they are too young for there to be any tradition, and they don't know how to drive a manual. But, time will tell.... |

It was more of an "old guy" car because GENERALLY they are the only ones who could and can still afford them.
I know plenty of young people who would love to have a Corvette, but other priorities come first when you're young. |

Well, there were people on here guessing 530 hp. So, not pretty much everyone.
