Default C8 Mid Engine will not cost $170,000 here's WHY!!

Hey everyone I put together a video of reasons along with why the base model C8 Corvette will not cost $170,000 compared to other cars in its supposedly same class.

Its a $60k car all day long. Theres nothing about it that would warrant it being more expensive. Look at it!!!
Its actually quite hidious looking but hopefully its just the camo.

This sh*t needs to stop! There's already one thread about the price and people are all over the place in that thread. No need for another one!

It’s too late... the topic has reached critical mass... run for cover. It’s all we can do.

Its a great idea to price it in that price range,but it won’t happen...
Way to close to Porsche Carrera starting price.
65-70k all day long for a new Generation Corvette.

You weren't reading LT1 Z51 posts were you? The one articulate person that has actually worked in the industry and knows exactly how the system works and most of you guys are still in a state of denial. At some point the low 65k price wet dreamers are going to face reality.

Adams products are excellent. Cool video and of course the c8 will start within five grand of todays cars.

all the rumors of 170grand starting price is clickbait.

Great, CGS, now you've bumped the price from $169,000 to $170,000 and effectively priced me out of being able to afford one!!! Why would you do that, to me???

Also, sponsored by Adams polishes. Just click on the Chemical Guys banner.
