Could have done without all the astronaut hype..

I think it looks awesome-The C-8....I think Chevy has a winner...Don't know what pricing will be, I hear rumors around 70 grand....Wasn't that the price of 93-95 ZR-1s?

I think all generations after C-3 will take another dip in pricing due to this car..

Why do you think they will take a dip? High % of guys looking to buy a c4 Z are not buying a C8.

I’m waiting for DOHC version.

It's an awesome looking car and they should do really well considering the MSRP is below $60,000.00 . They will loose some Corvette buyers who don't like or want a mid engine. But I think they will make up for that by bringing in some new and younger buyers. Hope for the best. Sure would hate to see the Corvette go the way of the Camaro. The Camaro just had a tiny back seat and price point compared to the Mustang and Challenger.

I love the car but hate the tacky rear spoiler,make mine white/red interior. And yes the astronaut spiel seemed to go on for days.

Hi George....
I know one car that has to take a beating on resale, the C7Z06.....Been pricing these for over a year now...Most are in the high 50's to mid 60's depending on option packages..

After seeing this car I may just wait for a leftover mid engine Z06...Probably take a few years but after seeing the mid engine platform in person I think Chevy has a huge hit....

Starting price below 60K seems like a great deal.....Heck, my 91 stickered for $65,600 back in the day..

Not a fan of the rear spoiler either. Been following the C8 on CF and the poster Chaz had the car pretty much “dead nuts” for a while. The side intake is reminiscent of the F-15. I suppose part of the astronaut thing may have also been in commemoration of Apollo 11 launching, so I get that.
I think they could have done better w the rear end with it looking like a version of the Cruze but I am anxious to see what it looks like in the “flesh”.
A proper DOHC is begging to be put in the engine bay. As for a DOHC being too heavy on top, I think that argument goes out the window when u consider the
SCs sitting on top of the LT-4 and faux LT5. That’s why u’ll see a DOHC in the more potent versions of this car with turbos sitting on the side.

I like this car right out of the box,can’t say that about the C7. I’m just now getting to where I can see a decent C7 and think it looks alright.

Still amazed they finally did it. Hopefully they will have a few on display at Carlisle for us to check out.

Last night on the live unveiling the target entry price for the base C8 is going to be Sub 60K per Mark Reuss

Sorry I see someone else mentioned that

As for the astronauts.. Scott Kelly is a remarkable speaker.. I saw him at an Engineering Conference in Austin
