C7 Corvette Updates/Info

[balki]

why, you have the Corvette already?

edit; just watched it. nothing happens, he just makes a quick U-turn post-credits.

I was saying I will, hence the use of I'll. It's not an action packed video, but it looks cool, and with proper planning and drone skills you could make something pretty neat.

[balki]

yeah, a cool drone video, rather than a cool Corvette video.

C7 Update: Still just a Chevy.

Confirmed.

[dodint]

I would like to share some thoughts about the C7 but I legitimately don't know what I'm supposed to contextualize it with. It's such an anomaly when you look at one parameter (price) the performance aspect is so comparably out of whack, and vice-verca. What is it supposed to...be?

An achievable aspiration halo car for a mass-produced mass-transit automaker?

The color was perfect.

[dodint]

My experience wasn't negative. I'm just struggling to put it into context.

I suppose a way to put it is that I have a very strong revived interest in the ~04 Viper GTS now, but no desire at all to buy a C7. I would entertain the notion of getting into a C7 in 10-15 years at the $25-30k pricepoint. I think that's my ceiling on buying into the experience.

[novicius]

I wasn't trying to paint it as negative but similar to Nissan and the GT-R, there is realistically a ceiling on how far to stretch the brand, right?

At some price point, wealthy enthusiasts simply won't buy it regardless of the stats because it's just a Chevy. The C8 may fall into this zone as it continues to push upmarket.

I thought today's Chevy was miles ahead of yesterday's Chevy though.

[Kchrpm]

Hmm, I read that as Nate not valuing a performance car of any brand at that price point, but perhaps your reading is more accurate.
