I can't say if the C9 will be ME or not... kind of far off in the future. But just guessing, unless the C8 doesn't meet expectations, it is pretty safe to assume the next will also be ME... or maybe all electric even. We don't know GMs plan.

If you can afford an Audi R8 V10, you can afford a base ME C8.

GM will build the FE in parallel with the ME.

The ME will cost $169,900.

There might still be a manual transmission available.

Jump in here and help me out, guys.

True.....
plus ,may I add...
Driving off from a gas station after refueling will be coin toss...At times it will start...at times not.

And the scoop is actually bigger the it appears ...
theres an add on piece that you will see at the reveal...Dumbos ears will pale in comparison to the C8’s twin scoops.

The C8 Corvette is supposedly going to be equipped with Michelin version 2.0 run flat technology...
you will be able to drive 200 miles with a flat tire or a cracked wheel ....It’s an industry first .
