What is your take on the 2020 C8 Corvette?

[url]https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28699755/2020-chevy-corvette-pricing/[/url] I've known this mid-engined Corvette was in the works for quite a while now, and followed the stories about it whenever they came up. But since it officially released a couple weeks ago, I was wondering what / if any of you had anything to say about it yet. The standard C8 is; [quote]a 6.2-liter V-8, albeit one making 495 horsepower. An eight-speed dual-clutch automatic (a Corvette first) is the sole transmission. It is controlled either by a push-button gear selector on the center console or by using two large steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. There will not be a manual transmission. Chevrolet claims the Corvette will have a zero-to-60-mph time of less than 3.0 seconds when equipped with the Z51 Performance package[/quote] No outside testing has been done yet, so I don't know all the stats. But for a $60,000.00 American made, Ferrari 'clone' sports car, I'm rather floored by the base line price tag. I know that when they release the serious models like future iterations of the Z06, maybe ZR1, and Gran Sport, there will be some serious numbers put up in both price and performance. Being a Ford guy, and knowing that even getting a 2019-2020 Mustang GT new will get you north of $55,000.00 pretty quickly. It just seems to me that the base model Vette is surprisingly low priced.

  • It's $60k and it's less than the new Supra, Porsche Cayman, Porsche 911, and Acura NSX. It's also just a little bit cheaper than the current Camaro ZL1 and C7 Corvette Z06. I love the C8's design and having it mid-engine makes a lot of people go "hurrr it's not a real Corvette!" but most of those people are boomers with base model C6s that browse the Corvette Forum all day so who cares what they think. The only thing that raises an eyebrow is that big strip of all the buttons in the interior. Getting used to that is going to take a lot of time memorizing which buttons are where.
