Prospective Corvette buyers have been able to reserve a mid-engine C8 via an online registration process since the car's unveiling. Simcoe did not reveal number of reservations placed, nor did he reveal the number of cars Chevy plans to build for the 2020 model year.

The devil is in the details.

Even my Corvette-averse wife is now very much onboard with a Corvette. She suggested "in about five years" taking a look at them. I suggested more like about 8 years unless I go back to Homicide/Robbery and up my overtime game and/or our son rakes in a ton of scholarships.

Seriously, though, I could trade out of my Camaro SS into a new C7 Stingray at under $300/mo. I don't intend to, but wow.

Man, I'm in the wrong business

Maybe not.

How many of those new Corvettes will be financed?

Sometimes I think the same thing...

Who's the dumbass who stopped and looked at C7s on the lot today?

There are quite a few folks over at my fancy-pants German car forum who have deposits down. Based on the poll results there, it’s receiving a thumbs up generally from the p-car owners.

...

Ahem.

"n July, General Motors finally revealed the hotly anticipated C8 Corvette. Praise for the Chevy was swift and overwhelming, with the vast majority of automotive publications and blogs declaring it a huge step in the right direction. The nameplate has a real chance at making inroads with Porsche customers and enthusiasts of other brands. With a starting price below $60,000 and a 0-60 time of under three seconds, it’s not hard to understand why. The Chevrolet C8 Corvette presents a value proposition unlike any other car currently on the market.

Rennlist members understand the Corvette’s potential to upend the market, and the merits of the Chevy have been discussed in-depth since April. That’s when Rennlist member “gt9729b” initiated a thread asking his fellow members about their thoughts on the Chevy. With the official debut of the Corvette, the post has exploded in popularity. Many people chimed in to offer their opinions on the C8 and what it represents for GM and for Porsche. The discussion is lively, and potentially a sign that the German automaker needs to step up its game if it wants to prevent Porsche owners from jumping ship."

The C6/C7 Corvette didn't really justify my $ to fun ratio over my Camaro SS. Somebody was potentially trading in a Camaro ZL1, the supercharged Camaro....and I just bought new windshield wipers for mine. Actually, I think I'll go clay bar and wax mine.
