Re: Could have done without all the astronaut hype..
I like it a lot. Good on GM for taking a risk and pushing new limits for American ingenuity and racing.

Re: Could have done without all the astronaut hype..
I knew it was going to be a world beater, GM wouldn't of made this move without some serious home work. I love everything except those Camaro tail lights, I mean come on GM.....but what shocked me was the pricing of a base C8. That is insane dollar for what you are getting. I know each trim level will up the $, but wow...I can't imagine the looks and performance of the Z06 version and the ZR-1/ Zora versions. We shall see what happens to the fit and finish of this 1st year new Gen, but so far I'm very impressed.
And C7 prices have to take a big hit right? Well maybe not big, but if I can get into a base C8 for $65-67k out the door, what does that mean for the beautiful C7 sitting on the lot? |

Re: Could have done without all the astronaut hype..
I like the car more each time I see it,the white one doesn’t have the goofy spoiler which makes it even better. It would be nice if GM offered a spoiler delete option on the Z51 car.

Re: Could have done without all the astronaut hype..
I'll be surprised if anyone leaves a dealership with one for $60,000, but I'm glad they pushed to have it available for a low(ish) price.
Someone else mentioned elsewhere, I hope they didn't skimp on a lot of things to keep the price so low. I like it a lot. I'm sure it will do well. Good for GM/Chevy for finally biting the bullet and taking the gamble on the mid-engine. |

Re: Could have done without all the astronaut hype..
Pretty crazy, but not surprising. It's really smitten sports car fanatics of all ages.
Gonna stick with the 25-year-old ZR-1 for a bit longer. Drove it today. Still enjoy it thoroughly.
