Supercar Performance at Quarter the Cost

Top 5 Things We LOVE About the 2020 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Convertible!

A Ferrari F8 costs $250,000-plus. A Lamborghini Huracan will set you back over $200,000. And a McLaren 570S stickers above $200,000. This particular Corvette C8 in 1LT trim with all options had a window sticker price of $70,880. However, a 1LT trim level C8 Corvette can be had starting at $58,900. This means you can get real close to the performance of those expensive exotic machines at 1/4th the cost.

Sure the F8 has 700+ horsepower, but in Ferrari’s naturally aspirated V8 days, they were in the 500 horsepower range and the McLaren 570S is in the 500s. As you may know, the C8 comes in right under 500 horsepower at 495. Either case it is right there and, in my opinion, the savings make the C8 the best performance bargain on the market today.
