If 2018 ZR1 has a base price of 120 and fully loaded near 145, what makes some of you believe that exotic c8 will be 100 grand ??
the fact that GM did it’s zr1 debut in Dubai first should of thought u Americans a lesson,
most of u Americans seat behind the computer and cry why corvettes don’t have 1985 prices.
since you have so much time to cry about new c8 prices, dedicate few min of that learning how and why u can’t get the ford GT even if u had half million in hand.

What makes you think the C8 is an exotic? Just because it’s mid engine? The Fiero was a mid engine as well. Hardly exotic.

Clueless.

Lots of fast cars are not sports cars. I did not say it is not fast.

Reminds me of the Tesla "Roadster", which is not even a roadster at all.

Like the yellow calipers...good choice.


Why do you have a bra?
Rick at UAD puts plastic on all the time.

Put a bra on only for road trips and the one month a year around here where they are hauling hay on monster tractor trailers — to keep the crap out of the radiator. Every 2/3 days on a road trip I take the Novistretch bra off, throw it into the shower, and then put it on dry the next morning. Great protective product in lots of ways.

Unless GM goes the Ford route (low volume & high price) and limits production to under 1,000 cars per year (which I hope they don't), the people who buy exotics will have no interest in the ME.
If the ME comes with 1000 hp they may take note of the tail lights!

Bravo GM on this one!!!

waaay cool car well done Chevy...

Unfortunately , YES... everyone and their brother will have one... that's a real downside for me....But you know what's more of a downside... paying double for an 8-10 year old ferrari/lambo/mclaren/porsche..... and have something go wrong!!! F1 trans pump.... power top gizmo..... brake rotors, IMS bearing, sticky buttons on the dash for heaven sake!!!, leather dash that shrinks!!! seat adjustor for thousands..., shifter detents to mask crappy 6 speed...

been personally disappointed with the Porsche...

Funny about life... you want one of those cars FOREVER... I mean forever... get in a position to buy a one... and youre old enough to have the good sense to know it's a waste of money.

I will buy a c8...
