Default Confirmed: Corvette Manta Ray base price $425,000

I'm privy to some secret stuff so I'm passing it along.

The Corvette C8's name will be "Manta Ray," or "Man-Ray" for short.
The C7 will remain the primary Corvette model. GM have built up C7 inventory so they can switch over to full time C8 production to fulfill initial demand.

The price will shock and disappoint many: $425,000 is a go. GM management wants to take on Ferrari and Lamborghini head on. You can all imagine the amazing equipment they can pack into a Corvette for $425K.

Let the games begin.

One more thing...I've sat in the C8 so here's a sketch of the interior. Sorry but I'm not any good at drawing.

It could be worse than this even, maybe they will force you to buy a Malibu before you can get onto the order list for the C8.

Be one of the first 425 buyers, and GM will also throw in a pool size fish tank, complete with a real Manta Ray!!

A word to the wise... Creating a second user account on Corvette Forum is against the rules and can result in both accounts getting permanently banned.
