Hi all,
I know we have some car guys here, and since this is an iconic American sports car that's just gone through it's biggest transformation, I think it's a legit topic to talk about. Especially the manufacturing/pricing aspects.
The C8 means that the Corvette is now mid-engined, with an astounding entry price of under $60K. For that, you're getting an aluminum intensive chassis and engine, along with almost 500hp stock. Along with that, there's a eight speed "manual-automatic" transmission, a pretty fancy interior, and a sub-three second 0-60mph time.
I am stunned, literally, that they can make this "clean sheet" car, with Ferrari performance, at a price under sixty thousand. It's a low production vehicle that shares little with their other products, how the hell did they bring the price in so low?
Any insight from our Detroit or auto-savvy members is welcome! I'm just impressed as heck, this is the performance bargain of the century (no exaggeration!).
