This car is absolutely stunning, and just what Chevrolet needed. These are going to be difficult to obtain initially, but I'm hoping I can somehow purchase one.
I'm a true enthusiast for 1st and second gen Camaros. The gen 5 &6 Camaro has done nothing esthetically for me, but this corvette I'm all in!!! As far as being only offered in auto trans, well for me with a sports car of this caliper I'd rather keep both hands on the wheel and paddle my way through the gears. :beers: |
4 of them showed up at our local cruise here last night. Blue,Maroon,Grey & Yellow.
No way I'd sit inside one...no way. |

I can't wait to see the car in person.
Contrary to what the internet says, they are not sold out yet. We're receiving 14 allocations and we have only sold 8 of those so far. |
8 at sticker???

Finally, official pricing for the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette is out. True to its promise, Chevrolet is making the sports car available for less than $60,000. It will start at exactly $59,995 when it goes on sale early next year.
The base Corvette Stingray is the 1LT, which comes with plenty of standard features, as listed below. The 2LT trim package starts at $67,295, while the 3LT is priced from $71,945. Prices increase quickly with options. For $1,195, a performance exhaust raises output from 490 hp and 465 lb-ft of torque to 495 hp and 470 lb-ft. Meanwhile, a front suspension lift system can be added to the 2LT and 3LT trims for $1,495. With this system, you can press a button when approaching an obstacle such as a speed bump, and the location is stored in cloud memory. The next time you approach the location, the lift system activates automatically. Up to 1,000 locations can be stored. The Z51 Performance Package is a $5,000 option, bringing the base model to just below $65,000 when so equipped. It is available on any trim, and Chevy says models with the package can hit 60 mph in under 3 seconds. This package adds a performance exhaust and suspension, electronic limited slip differential, front splitter, rear spoiler, larger disc brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer only performance tires, updated axle ratio, enhanced cooling, and front brake cooling inlets. |

In addition to releasing full pricing on the mid-engine C8 Corvette this morning, Chevrolet has announced another nugget of info: A top speed of 194 MPH for the base car. That is fast. Really fast, especially for a car that starts at $59,995. According to Chevy, this speed can only be achieved with the entry-level 2020 Corvette, not one equipped with the Z51 Performance Pack. That car will have a lower top speed (which Chevy has yet to reveal), as a result of the additional drag generated by its aerodynamic body add-ons. |

The C8 Chevrolet Corvette Starts Under $60K…But Only for the First Year
GM shocked the automotive world when it announced that the mid-engine 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray would start under $60,000. True to its word, Chevy recently released full pricing details on the C8 Corvette, revealing a starting price of $59,995 including destination charge. That makes the mid-engine Corvette a huge bargain, but according to our intel, that brag-worthy base price won't last long. A well-placed source revealed to MotorTrend that the sub-$60,000 base price would only last for the first model year. For 2021, you can expect to see a price hike. Just how much of a hike? Back in 2013, the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette launched with a starting price of $51,995—a number that was easy to swallow since it represented a jump of only $1,400 from the outgoing C6. But a few months into the C7 Corvette's inaugural year, Chevy raised the base price to $53,993, citing higher-than-expected demand. By the 2015 model year, the C7's starting price had risen to $55,995, a full $4,000 more than its original MSRP. Of course, it would've been hard to find a C7 for sticker price at launch anyway, but that's another story (one you can bet will repeat with the C8). https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/buyi...cid=spartandhp |

Like I said in an earlier post; the design does remind one of a 1995 McLaren F1.
Considering the one pictured below just sold for 19.8 million (granted it is 680 HP) the Corvette is looking really good at this price point. |
I heard a new Vette was in the building GM set up at the Dream cruise at the old Woodward intersection, I saw people with GM bags and a nice black tube walking around, they must have given out posters, last year the first camaro was in the same spot. Too much traffic Saturday, I didn’t stop.

Here’s How 2020 Corvette C8 Shoppers Are Strategizing to Avoid Dealer Markups
Prospective buyers of the new, highly anticipated 2020 Chevy Corvette C8 are worried that dealerships might mark up the price significantly over the manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP). Corvette fans on CorvetteForum.com have compiled a list of dealerships that have already committed to sell the new C8 at MSRP without markups. Started by user tcinla, the list includes 56 high-volume Corvette dealerships across the country that are ranked by the number of C7 Corvettes they have sold to date. Dealerships marked "YES" have promised to sell their allocation of C8 Corvettes at MSRP, while dealerships marked "NO" or "?" have not made this commitment and may be prone to markups. The list also includes a number of lower-volume Corvette dealerships, some of which have committed to selling the C8 at MSRP and some of which have not. |
This is the one I'd order:

I like that exterior color, different and not common.

When will my mid-engine Corvette actually arrive?
September 5: Chevy dealers informed of their Corvette allocations. September 12: “Run, Pass” constraints defined by the factory (what trim levels and equipment are available for ordering). GM begins accepting orders of cars for the first two weeks of production with 2LT or 3LT trim and Arctic White, Black, Torch Red, Shadow Gray, Sebring Orange, or Ceramic Matrix Gray paint. Week of September 23: Final C7 will be manufactured at Bowling Green, Kentucky, assembly plant. October: Orders accepted for C8s painted Elkhart Lake Blue and Long Beach Red. Production allocated for weeks 3-5. November: Orders accepted for Corvettes with 1LT trim for weeks 6-9 of production; Blade Silver, Zeus Bronze, and Accelerate Yellow added to available color palette. December 2: C8 manufacturing will commence. All 12 exterior colors will be available for ordering. Some LPO (limited production option) equipment will be shipped directly to dealers for installation. January 6, 2020: Manufacturing resumes following GM’s two-week holiday break. Mid-January: Early production 2020 Corvettes held in impound for retrofit of updated parts begin leaving Bowling Green, Kentucky, for shipment to dealers. February-March: 2020 model year price adjustments are likely. September: End of 2020 model year. There you have it. By the looks of it, even the earliest orders won’t be delivered until February. |
Leaked mid-engine C8 Corvette specs hint at big performance gains
e’ve seen a few basic specs for the mid-engine Corvette, but we may now have even deeper insight courtesy of a user on CorvetteForum. The recent posting shows a few pictures of an alleged spec booklet for the new sports car; some of the information matches what General Motors has already made public, but there is plenty else to unpack. Assuming this leak is accurate, gear ratios, weights, and more are now out there in the open. https://www.hagerty.com/articles-vid...corvette-specs |
Does anyone have a pic of a zero option base car?

That's almost the exact color (2015) Vette my Son has. It presents very well and classy. I agree, if I bought a 2020, that's a color that would be high on my list. /R |

No transmission at all may be next in line ...?
|
I was reading yesterday that Porsche has brought back their manual transmission in the new 911. The first new ones that are out now are paddle-shift automatics but the manuals will be out in a little while.

Engine sounds like a well tuned Ferrari V12. Obviously a flat plane crank if it is a V8. Smokey Yunick (and a few other since) built some monstrous octopus looking headers that had all the puslsed timed correctly and it sounded similar, but not quite how a flat plane crank V8 sounds.
