    Corvette C8 - Finally a mid-engined Corvette

    I like it, and I also like that color, reminds me of that one that Lambo used in the early 2000's

    I've heard "under $60K" or "around $70K" for prices, not sure which is more accurate.

    The entry level model is confirmed at 'less than $60k" by Reuss. So, $59,999 if you are willing to stick with those ugly wheels and find a way to get one with no options.

    yeah, I would definitely change out the wheels either way.

    I'm curious how this will play with the Corvette fans. It really does look more Ferrari than Corvette. My guess is that it'll be the best performing Corvette yet and that the Corvette's longest-time fans will hate it.

    They should have made an effort to go back to the round taillights.

    Is that Power Beige or Victory Taupe?

    Either way, I like it too. Quiet, yet different.

    I dunno

    Anyway, this could be the first decent mid/rear engined GM production car ever made

    When I first saw it I thought it looked like a front-engined Ferrari!

    Some parts of its styling really set me off, like those awkwardly forward-raked air scoops on the side. But I guess it leaves room for the inevitable better-looking up-spec performance models that they’ll release down the track.

    Anyway, I haven’t seen Keith online for a day-or-so. Is he busy trying to peel the socks off the floor in his bedroom after seeing this
