Corvette has long been a performance bargain, with the C5 really starting the trend of delivering excellent handling and world-beating performance for the price of a decked-out pickup truck. But a mid-engine car sporting nearly 500 horsepower and a price tag under $60,000 seemed just too good to be true.
It is, according to Motor Trend, which cited a source within General Motors. Chevrolet is poised to lose money on each budget-priced C8 because the eighth-generation Corvette development was based on the Stingray having an MSRP of $79,995.
