New Corvette C8 - mid-engine

LoL.

I know. My cousin in Fla says dealer markup locally has pushed the base model up to $100k.
 
I’m glad I bought when I did. The day after the announcement. I got a quote on my C7 GS the day before and bought the C8 the day after. Changed to the C8 convertible in Oct.

I paid MSRP, but got a “deal” because the dealer offered to give me $4k more than my C7 GS was worth. He offered me $58,500 on a car worth $54k. I paid $60k and it had 1500 miles on it.

My pimped out C8 convertible is a little more than that. [emoji6]

My dealership has so many C6’s and C7’s on their lot, they had to rent the empty grass lot across the street.

Thanks Norman. I’m looking forward to it. I should see mine in May or so.

The Corvette boys won the GTLM class outright this weekend finishing Daytona 1-2. They beat Ferrari and more importantly Porsche, who always dominate endurance events in sports car racing. What does this have to do with the C8 street car? the C8.R purportedly uses the same DOHC, flat plane crank mill that will make its way to the Z06 you and I can buy next year.

It was a great race! This is from their first warmup lap from Saturday.

As a long time Corvette fan, while great that they finished 1-2 in GTLM it's not the same for the lone Porsche, while having 'factory support' is not the same as previous years with two 911's that were in fact 'factory team' cars. Regardless their were the 2 RLL factory BMW's.

All changes next year with GTLM going away and the formation of a GTD'Pro' class
