Anyone else going to the unveiling? I hope it’s as good as the hype.

Not open to the public. You got extra tickets?

Default Tustin Hangar 2 .........

Greetings Friends,

The Z06 draws too much attention. So, I jumped into the Prius to run 'Intel' instead Here are some photos. Like I mentioned in another thread, GM is not fooling around. They have Tustin PD posted up at various points of egress. They aren't taking any chances. And neither would I......

I can't think of a better vehicle for this Recon mission, except perhaps a first generation Nissan Leaf. Did you go undercover with your Sierra Club shirt, and a pair of Birkenstocks?

If Gio's C7 doesn't want, or can't make the event, I'd like to be next in line for your tickets.

Give what a break? It looks like GM chose a great location for the C8 reveal. Not sure what you mean by "Area 51 circus", whats that about?

It's deja vu all over again, circa early January 2013....some think it's cool to rag on whatever in regards to a new generation Corvette.

It was just like the 1963 split window reveal wow what did they do to the corvette?Was i disappoint yes until twenty years later and then it was to late to purchase if you could find a used one with the split gone etc, The worst was at a Chevrolet dealer in 1984 (lipman Motors) Thirty thousand dollars to ride in a stage coach, the ride was harsh but GM said it was a good auto cross car if you could get speed out of this crossfire! dead motor. What about the 68 ,took a year to get the bugs out. I had more friends park them and thirty years later the 427 did ring the register. The C8 will be no different if they are smart and leave the bugs at the factory!
