Absolutely. I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're right. Goes right to the direction Corvette wants to take, a new generation of buyers. Very smart.

**** !

I dont want to like the way it looks I do NOT want to buy another new corvette.

It’s looking better with every piece of camo removed and I hate myself as I will have no control over my desires

Thanks for the pic(?). You can now expect every Chevy dealer thinking about unloading all the C7 stock. Of course, everyone wants the
newest (and best?). The deals will get better and better for C7's because nobody wants to buy the old design, Right?
Maybe it's time to think about a C7 ZO6 for myself.
Later.

Waytofastvette, is the picture in your avatar you seeing your wife after you bring the c8 home? Hilarious. I just hope they give us taller guys some head and leg room in this car. Im now hoping Chevy has this bad boy at Carlisle this year.

“ Beefier “ tires are NOT a Must for outstanding Handling. It’s all about packaging , I’m Sure the C8 even the base model with relatively narrow tires ,WILL have GREAT HANDLING, AGILITY & Be very nimble.

So funny how everyone is taking the bait and thinking 07.18.19 is the reveal date. Chevy said they were going to disclose their C8 lap time at The Ring and they plastered it right on the side of the car but no one noticed.

That's right, the new C8 Corvette, with its 4 cylinder normally aspirated engine lapped The Ring in 7 minutes and 18.19 seconds. Talk about hiding in plain site...

I was hoping the new Vette would at least get an 8 cylinder engine...
