Chevy has been discounting them. Heck even on the Corvette page of the Chevy website they are advertising $6,404 discount plus another $3,000 ($9,404 total) for "owner loyalty". Not sure about lower models.

If I were to guess, prices should come down more,, it'd be hard to buy a Grand Sport when a C8 could be had for almost the same money. This is a good deal..... https://www.bomninchevrolet.com/Vehi...-FL/3161730423

Video aftermath of the first C8 crash on public roads near Yosemite NP. No details, only speculation about what happened, allegedly no injuries, the car was part of a Corvette convoy driven by a (now former?) GM employee.

If anyone is interested, this article has the "tour dates" for the C8 before it becomes generally available in December.

There are two dates in Georgia, Petite LeMans and at a dealership the following Monday (largest Corvette dealer in GA). Sadly I can't make either.

People wondered about how much the Z51 package would add to the price.

So it's still a 5k upgrade (if I googled correctly, the C7 Z51 was also 5k?), except the base already has the dry sump...seems like a pretty bad deal lol. Guess it depends on how much of an improvement the diff is.

I had a business meeting at the GM headquarters building and was surprised they still don't have a C8 in the lobby showroom.

Received an interesting email from the Corvette Museum this AM releasing the final build stats for the 2019 C7.
