* What will the C8 look like? Chazron's renders have gotten mighty close. The hood isn't as sculpted. The hard edges in the corners of the front bumpers are a bit more defined, not 90 degree obviously but they do have a tip. Not as well rounded as the one below. The horizontal line behind the scoop isn't as defined. The grill on the side of the front bumper has a little indent behind it, which isn't a great way to describe it but you'll see. Almost like a blade? That same grille - the bar that runs through it has a little notch towards the outside.
* What about the side scoops? Charzcron's scoop is damn near spot on. Ridiculously close. Down to the cut towards the front at the bottom, and the separate panel that makes it look like a blade. At the back of the blade however, it will be a little indented. They'll be some depth to it. half an inch at most but enough to give it some detail rather than just looking like a panel line.
* What will the taillights look like? I think they'll be a single piece taillight, but they'll create some branding with the newest Camaro taillights. They won't be identical, but you'll see the similarity and be able to spot them as a Chevy from a distance.
* What will it cost? $65k-$67,500
* Will it be DCT-only, or will there be a manual available? DCT only for starters
* Will the Coupe and Convertible premiere together on 7/18? Coupe (removable Targa) only
* AWD? Not on the original release on 7.18.19 - further down the road, yes.
I agree with the General... I think Chaz's green car is mostly it (supposedly the General has seen the car; so he says). Tail lights are what we've seen on the C8R like a more curved C7 tail light. The production lights peeking out from the later mules confirms this.
I think the base car will be $59,999 to start with price increases during the production run first model year; same as they did with the C7.
The Shelby GT 500 is selling for $73,995 with 760 HP so where will the C8 be priced at ? The bean counters will have work ahead of them to cut costs.
But do you want to drive a Vette, or a Mustang. I'd go slower in a Vette for less or similar money. At the end of the day, I'd be in a mid engine Corvette and that other dude is driving around in a built up Mustang with a spoiler and leaving it in first gear through a small city so everyone can see him.
I'm with John. I expect it to look close to the Chaz renders, but as even he has stated repeatedly, there will little differences here and there that will add up to a more appealing visual presence.
I predict that after the reveal, my big shot engineer brother who is the chief building engineer ( Janitor) where the C8 is being developed will get fired for leaking too much info about the car.
I predict that he will go back to cleaning toilets and shoveling snow.
Your big shot brother is apparently really cleaning up, its doubtful they’d waste such talent and broom a critical piece of the staff. Remember, Corvettes having been leaking since 1953, there never has been a spec for too much leakage of anything, (not as bad as MGs though) so significant leakage is acceptable and deeply ingrained in their history.
600+ hp. Gotta think the Z06 is gonna have to get to 900ish.
Yes manual
coupe+vert
I don’t think Chevy ****** out here. I think we see something special.
I predict that C8 purchasers are expecting the performance and luxury of a Ferrari 488, the quality and reliability of an Acura NSX, all at the modern day equivalent price of a Chevrolet Cosworth Vega.
I predict 40,000 new C8 unpaid beta testers will howl and write "if i am paying the princely sum of $63,000 DOLLARS! I expect to be treated like the KING of my ranch style tract McMansion and not just like another Caspar Milquetoast buying a Chevrolet produced for the masses. Especially after C8 buyers find they are going to be second-priority for servicing their econo-boxers, AFTER Chevy service prioritizes service for the purchasers of Chevy's new 2020 $100,000 High Country Silverados.
I predict 400 new Bowling Green workers have alot of training to do to make cars, any cars. Nothing beats on the job training, and that's what a warranty is for.
