Ha! He's got that "hands thing" going all over the place like "Believe me because my hands are moving to emphasize my points. You DO believe me, right?"

Quel jokeur!

He's just trying to move his C7 inventory. Probably ordered too many and now that it's December he's beginning to sweat.

I agree not to believe this guy. That said, I'm also not sure that the big dealers you mentioned really "know nothing". I would expect pricing is not finalized yet and no one has final information, but I also suspect the big fish dealer people with connections probably have not heard ball park pricing and maybe even timelines. Those select few just aren't going to be releasing confidential information on public forums (or really at all).

So a plant running under 30% capacity will build a car so expensive that once the initial gotta have it is over will drop said capacity to near zero.

Right.

The Porsche is starting to look better and better. Jokes, there's no way that is true.

this is the same guy who leaked the c8 front fenders way before anyone knew anything ...... sooooo...

( he did think the front fenders were the rear so maybe he doesn't know what he is talking about! ; )

He IS very confused about the ZR1 deal so maybe he got his wires crossed with the C8 info too. $ 149k base C8 it will die a slow and painful death...they can park all the allocations at Mary's house!

This is the same guy who leaked them, and couldn't even tell which end of the car they were from.

The 992 is a $120K+ car now (before you fatten it up with options). If the C8 comes in around that number. someone is going to step in and fill that $70-$120K slot with a competent sports car.

I can't believe there's a few people who buy into the notion that the next gen Vette will be 2 to 3 times the current starting price. In a way it's good as they'll be pleasantly surprised when it's around 60k and they can save six figures lol.

I wish I could laugh with you, but lost too much money on these money makers. I know, I'm doing it wrong (buy new and sell them after they depreciated), but who has patience to hold them for 50 years? Mind you, I'm not bitter, did get a lot of enjoyment out of them.

$120k is for the 911s. Porsche has not announced pricing for the base 911 which is currently $91k. I figure the new 992 will be right around $100k for the base model. The Cayman GTS is in the low to mid $90k now so I’m sure Porsche wants a clearer price gap between the two particular when they most like will increase power from 370 to close to 400hp IMO.
