HAHA. Destroy. Everything. In. Its. Path. Except the ZR1, which will eat Ferraris for lunch at half the price.

Like Star Trek when they engage warp drive

Imagine how incredible the C8 Z06 and ZR1 will be.

ZL1 is a four year old design

Yep.

There's a LOT of room for turbos/blowers/flux-capacitors under the hood...

If this thing goes around corners as well as Tadge says, it's gonna be a fantastic car!

I'd never own a Corvette (Maybe when I am a old man) but this is a huge improvement visually over the present model. Good job.

If you stick to the used market you might be able to get into one sooner.

Absolutely right!!! At this price, this thing is a bunch in the mouth to everyone.

I can't even imagine what kind of performance the hot C8's will have.

Simply amazing. Bravo GM Bravo. They hit this one out of the park IMO.


RIP to all the people that said the C8 was moving upmarket and going to be a six figure car lol

Word is 2.8-seconds for 0-60MPH

Where the C8 is going... has only begun... One of the next iterations will far surpass the 2019 ZR1.

I have seen more than a handful of Mustang guys on other sites I visit say they would rather spend 60K on the C8 than a Mustang. Bravo GM

I can see some guys grabbing a C8 rather than a GT500 due to AMDs. The GT500 would probably be a better 1/4 mile car, and it still has the Mustang heritage, but dollar for dollar, it's going to be hard for ANYONE to beat the C8.

But, if I were in the market for a GT500, I might just wait one more year for a C8 with the next engine. We all have heard the rumors, and I don't think it matters whether it will be super or turbo charged, or CPC vs. FPC, all I know is it will make significantly more power, and will probably have more suspension and supporting upgrades. The 2020 is just the BASE C8. Wow...

Don't get me wrong, 495 in that architecture will be plenty for me (as I drive an SS Camaro), but for guys who want big power, that's only another year or so away (unless there are some development delays). You can kind of have your cake AND eat it too. C8 architecture AND more power.

My wife saw a picture of a c8 this morning, and now we're getting one. I wanted one anyways, but it took me by surprise that a woman that's never once looked at any car ever, or cared about what she drives, made it a point to tell me she wants one. She didn't care for the GT500, and at $74,000, neither do I. I'll keep my 18GT and add the c8 next to it.

Love seeing car guys talk cars, instead of the childish fanboy GM vs Ford BS. Yes, this C8 is a game changer. The Gt500 is a ridiculous car in its own right, but Ford continues to price themselves out of 1000's of purchases with those damn ADM/s.

As for the C8, I understand there will be more fancy gadgets in the foreign cars, but this car is a steal. And it has a number of fancy USEFUL gadgets that people will love as well. Useful like the 1000 point - memory front spoiler lift for curbs. Stuff you see in the Audui A8 and other $150k luxury vehicles that help protect the front end.

My wife jokingly said something similar, except she wasn't serious like yours. I'd sell my GT in a heartbeat for a C8. Then I have to remember why a C7 wasn't on the table when I bought my '18 GT...I need a backseat: kids!! Aye, the C8 may be good enough to nix that requirement in a few years!
