Default PICS from the 2018 NCM BASH

For those that couldn't make the BASH, here are a number of the pics I took while there. Lot's of ZR1's, and the full presentation by Tadge and Harlan on 2018 Review and 2019 changes.

(For some strange reason it picked up the pic from Motor Trend on the C8 Mid-engine as the first photo.....Coincidence??? HA!)

Will they still build the C7 in the 2020 model year?

They go overboard in letting us know that they will not comment on any decision that is based on the future. They even avoided the term "C8".

But everyone I've talked to is pretty sure that if they do come out with a mid-engine Vette, that they will also keep the front engine Vette as well, otherwise GM will risk losing most of its base of customers.

Thanks for the pics. I need to make it to the Bash - it’s one event I haven’t attended yet.

It's really a great event - you get to see and hear things you won't hear/see at any other event in the country. It's one of a kind!

It’s interesting to note that during one of the seminars where the new paint plant was discussed, they brought an “old” BLACK panel from the recently closed paint shop and a new black one from the new shop to see if anyone could tell the difference, and it was OBVIOUS. We are all going to be thrilled with the quality of paint on all future vehicles!

That’s good news!
