Default Stupidest speculation?
. . . to date on the C8 Forum you've seen. Since we're getting closer, Chevy's keeping a lid on things pretty well, and (some) people are losing their minds, without insulting anybody, intentionally hurting anyone's feelings, or calling anyone out; what's the single stupidest speculation (or question) about the C8 you've seen posted on the forum.

I wouldn't say "stupidest." Probably more like wishful thinking but...

"They will sell a FE corvette alongside the C8."

If the ZR1 is 130k. I think the mid engine car, especially if they hit that 1k hp variant, could definitely pull that number in limited production. Dodge demon was 90k, but a base garbage challenger was 27k. I think they can span 100k spread with this car possibly.

The goodbye thread.
I know, it wasn’t a speculation thread, but it was pretty funny. Especially when the Mods moved it to the Shark Tank.

That it won't come with a dually option and 5th wheel hitch. No way they offer it without those options. How the hell am I supposed to tow my trailer full of golf bags?

The absolute stupidest thread/posts are from the woman who fist pounds her belief that the C8 will have a "Dollar Store" interior. Clueless.
