Hmmm, interesting:
https://www.motortrend.com/2020-chev...rs-close-early Also, "A source told us previously that the C8's low starting price of $59,995 would only last for the first model year. And since it's common practice for higher-trim models to get production priority, it's unknown how many—if any—C8 Corvettes actually sold for under $60,000." I can only guess that the only C8s we see on the road as of now were very early orders based on pre-production date deposits with a significant markup. Anyone know anyone who disclosed their actual purchase price and has also acquired one? |

Doug has his walkthrough/score video out.
^^ Locally there is a white one running around already. Z51 with the 3LT interior, and extra top. He said 90k when he was asked. I'm not sure if that was actual cost or he was just showing 'swag' I think spec'd how he did on the website builder with everything and carbon fiber door trim hits around 85k MSRP.

Took a while considering it's Florida but I just seen my first C8. My son points it out and says "hey look at that" as we were coming towards it in the other oncoming lane.
I look and I'm thinking for a split second oh something exotic coming this way and it registers that it's rear engine then I'm like woah, that's the C8 and it looks pretty good. |

I saw my first C8 the other day and was initially confused what it was. I actually like it quite a bit. As well, I saw the new Supra in person and tbh... I'm not a fan of it.

I saw a Supra at twilight tonight coming and going. The light signature and curves looked stunning in the perfect light. |

Some interesting info I came across. Nothing new and awesome, but a look into the thoughts of the engineering behind the C8. Also has cutaways if you haven't seen them.

I agree with what he said - "Great car...for the money!" Yeah, the panel gaps are 80s-kit-car bad. Yikes! My '18 BRZ looks like it was built by Lexus' standards in comparison. Lol. |
