I hate it when a company that you'd never under normal circumstances would consider buying anything they make, comes out with a hit lol. The design, price and performance for the price makes this car a real possibility for people like me who have always "liked" the Corvette, but wouldn't ever consider buying one...until now.

Corvette vs R8 and NSX.

NSX is overpriced as hell.

918-style hybrid drivetrain at $170,000? Yeah, maybe at overpriced by $20 to 30K, but overpriced as hell? No. Most reviews have found the performance and handling to be impressive. Though the design isn't bad, it's derivative. That said, what GM has accomplished at a $75,000 price point is just very impressive. And I know it starts at just under $60K, but any Stingray worth its salt is going to have the Z51 package.

C8 is what the NSX should have been. Fast and affordable,just like the first gen.

Just for giggles:

in 1991, a Corvette was circa $35,000 and an NSX was about $60,000. Solely looking at inflation, in today's US dollars, that's approx $65,000 and $125,000, respectively. Taking into account new tech, features, etc., the price is fairly commensurate for both. Doesn't take away from the impressive feat what the Corvette has achieved. I hope what's on paper matches what will be on the street/track, which I have little doubt about. Jeuchter et al. runs a tight ship.

According to auto blog, Michael Simcoe, GM Design Chief reported recently that orders have almost hit (extremely close) 2020 model year production numbers. Hopefully, they can crank up that corvette plant's output!

A bit of a deceptive angle as the rear 3/4 view of the Corvette is not flattering in photos.

The best design of these three is in my eyes is the R8, NSX the worst

Is this the longest a new car has gone without an official thread on GCF?
