Chevy unveiled the C8 Corvette today. It's now a lighter mid engine car with 495 horsepower, has a sub 3 second 0-60, and a base price of under 60k. I think it looks amazing.

Whatever performance packages they end up putting together are going to be amazing. Rumors of a twin turbo offering even

A mid engine two seater that will outperform any European two seater midengine three times the price or less? And far less time in the shop?

If the Dollar Store and a Ferrari had a baby... Simply amazing, and this is the base model. A Z06 or ZR1 model- Que Bella donna.
They had to do it. If they were going to keep Camaro and Corvette, they had to differentiate them better. I don't know why anyone would buy a Lotus or an Audi R10. Wait till it eats a 911's lunch.

Recent corvette's were already an amazing thing.
Buddy of mine had a turbo 20.. something and it had some serious get up and run in it.

Amazing car, especially at that money.Originally Posted by FromMyColdDeadHand
No need to differentiate from the Camaro though...

A new report says that Chevrolet is killing the Camaro, but not just yet.
The sports car is midway through its*life cycle and won’t be replaced when it ends in 2023, according to musclecarsandtrucks.com.

I love exotic cars, but am not in that tax bracket, but the C7 Z06 was something doable pricewise and with performance to boot. When I started researching the subject, the C8 popped on my radar, and I have been following the subject for a number of months now. The performance the base model is exhibiting is phenomenal and I'm looking forward to seeing what the Z06 version can do. I predict that, if I can sell it to the wife well enough, there's a C8 in my future.

I know why they would by them: competition heritage, build quality, quality of materials and resale value.
If you offer me either I’d take a Porsche over the Corvette - any day.
That said, the C8 is nice.

The car looks amazing with the optional aero. I think it’s a great move for GM and can’t wait to see where they go with it.

Sub three second 0-60 time on a mid-engine sports car with a dual clutch transmission for $60k that you can actually afford to service. Amazing.
I'd really like to see something similar from Ford. The Ford GT is MUCH more expensive, albeit a more exotic car.
