Hope they don't make the mistake of pricing the C8 too high. Anybody can make an expensive sports car. The appeal of Corvette has always been its performance at an affordable price.

The rendering of the silver car is just gorgeous,best one I've seen yet.

That silver car looks more like it was inspired by the Cien, which was a Caddy.
My suspicion is that the "Stingray" version of the C8 could be powered by the pushrod motors due to cost, but the Z versions could be offered w DOHC AND FINALLY, a DOHC w hybrid drive for the front wheels. This would bring power up to very high levels but also avoid the need and complications of forced induction.
Then we get an SUV ala Cayenne.
