The beauty of this situation for me is I LOVE my SS 1LE so waiting for the "better performance version" of the C8, while watching the prices drop and discounts starting to be offered will be easy to do. So much nicer situation to be in than my previous situation where I couldn't wait to get out of my M3.

...From the first post...
Following the reveal, the Next Generation Corvette will hit the road for two national dealership tours that will include vehicle specialists and numerous interactive displays. At these events, Chevy dealers will host customers to showcase the new mid-engine supercar, display customizable parts (seats, wheels, accessories, etc.) and teach people how they can personalize their own Corvette. “With all the excitement around this vehicle, we don’t want people to have to wait to experience it in person,” said Engle. “Our national tours will bring the Next Generation car right to our customers’ local Chevrolet dealership, where they can start imagining themselves in their very own personalized mid-engine Corvette.” The tours will begin on the East and West Coasts and stop at more than 125 select dealerships across the U.S. starting after the reveal and extending through early 2020. "Tour dates and cities will be available starting on July 19." Is there any info yet on the dates and cities, etc.? I can't find any info. Thanks. |

Knock it off you two (you know who you are). Nobody wants to watch a couple of grown men bicker on the internet.

This transmission...."a manual that shifts like an automatic"...or whatever...
Does this mean that Adaptive Cruise Control cannot be available? What about Start/Stop? Did not see any specific info one way or the other....The pics of the steering wheel buttons look like old fashioned cruise-control....just wondering.... |

Anyway, since it can operate fully automatically, there is no reason why adaptive cruise or start/stop (or remote engine start) couldn't be used with it. In fact, I'm sure that such features are pretty common on DCT equipped cars.

The pressure thing was probably pretty easy to sort out. Accounting for people? Well, its pretty easy to come up with something that covers most of the things people do most of the time ... its those others the rest of the time that are a devil to deal with. Engineers don't like them very much.
Beyond that, improving city fuel economy by 10ish percent is not nothing. If you live in a city, or have a heavily congested commute, that can save you quite a bit of gas. On the other hand, on a car that only gets taken out at 6am on a Saturday mornings just for a quick cruise around the countryside before getting garaged for another week or two ... it's not going to do much for you.

I wish they would have stuck with the Goodyear F1 SC3 tires with the C8. It does amazing with the ZL1 and SS 1LE.
I think it is a better tire over the Michelins. Not sure why they put Michelins on the Corvette and Goodyears on the Camaro

GM works with manufacturers to design the tires for the car. There's a reason they went with Michelin over Good Year. Could be their relationship with the race team. Could just be that they feel the michelins are better on the Corvette. I'm just glad they're finally offering an all season performance tire for Corvette. |
