    Very possibly my next car. At that price?! Shit.

    500hp, DCT, mid engine, under $70k to start. That’s pretty fucking appealing. The front suspension lift with gps memory is just genius. One of those “wouldn’t it be cool” things I’ve thought about but never thought would be implemented.

    Actually buying vettes at launch is annoying. Hard to get, with a big markup, for a car that is designed to be high volume and easy to buy within a year.

    Well now who would buy a Supra at all if this beast starts at $70k.

    Be interesting to see how many they can get into showrooms. Should sell if they can supply.

    Specs will certainly have everyone's attention, but i can't past the fact it looks like a 2004 Ferrari F430 in most profiles. Certainly not original......

    This is great. First Corvette I could actually see myself behind the wheel (before the age of 60 when I have gold rings and a chain poking through my unbuttoned shirt).

    I don't think this has a competitor in the market.

    Your going to be able to get like $40k off an 2018/19 z06 now. You could get $25k off last week.

    A lot of haters, a lot of lovers. I really like the engineering aspects behind it, the ties to Zora and test vehicles, the fact they did try to keep the price down is also attractive. I hate the full rear view personally and wish that manual was at least an option but understand why it isn’t.

    I don’t really have anything negative to say about the car.

    More power is nice, but it’s a small block and 500whp with easy bolt ons, and big power with cam and heads.

    The rear-view is the weakest link on the design for sure. It also was for the C7, which was the same designer.

    Decent styling and a DCT, good job Chevy.

    Only thing I don't like is that horrible looking infotainment screen that looks like someone hot-glued it on there.

    Sure wouldn't want to be the guy who owns a 2018-19 vette.

    Only problem is you will probably see these everywhere haha.

    No manual is a huge drawback

    I also wonder if they truly have been able to quash the overheating gremlins of the past; they have 25% more cooling, but the engine is in the back now... definitely something you wouldn't want to rush into buying just yet.

    I do like the removable Targra-style roof, that is a really nice feature
    The cooling problems seem to mostly affect FI models, being NA I should hope this is worked out.
