The mid engine design sort of forces the corvette to look the way it does.

After owning 3 generations of the corvette, this was a step in the right direction.

Wo wo wo....

Hypercar is a strong word.

More like a cracker jack box super-d-dooper car.

I think the $3.6mil for Vin 1 was stupid. Thank goodness it was for charity.

It was bought by Rick Hendrick long time Nascar owner. He has had a relationship with GM for decades. He buys all their charity Vin #1's at Barret Jackson. His net worth is in the billions. Since is was for charity, anything over msrp is a tax write off.

It was probably a GM guy bidding it up for show. Lol. Glad that it sold for charity. Hopefully the charity gets most of the money unlike most. Poor car will sit in a garage and collect dust. I have 3 deposits down for the Z06's. If I get 1, I will sell it for my charity 😆🤑

Some people need to stop pretending to not like the C8 z06 just because they're unable to get one lol.

If you like it, it's ok to admit it. Just wait for the used market and then maybe you can get one

I hope I get lucky and get one. Drive it for 8-12 months then sell it for a nice profit. Unless I love it.

Yup.

That's what great about corvettes! You can get them, enjoy them, beat on them, and still sell for profit.

Gotta love GM for all they're doing with the C8.

Other car makers are going EV or 4cyl hybrids, dodge doing e-muscle lol, yet GM is like here's an all motor flat plane crank V8 that sounds better than a ferrari.

Love it!!!

And yet if it wasn't for Mopar introducing high HP cars to the US line up we'd still be talking about 400hp Corvettes......

What a tangled web we we've.

Introducing?

That's amusing.

I have a Hellcat and am adding a C8Z. What am I then?

I just want GM to finally release all the damn pricing.

I am planning to hit the Philly Auto Show next month to see one in person. I hope they have an orange one there as that's what I am ordering

I think the Z sounds better. With that said, if I could afford it, I'd take a 458 over it. I can only afford the C8Z so I will somehow survive LOL

The base MB chassis for the CryCo 300 was already 5 years old by then. LOL.

I bought the 2019 Z06 M7 because I had to have a stick, not looking back its a great car. I dont understand why GM wont build enough of the new Z06 to satisfy the masses, I would consider if i could get on for MSRP.

I was listening to a matt farrah podcast and it sounds like they will build a z06 for every order ?? Now.. you might still have to wait a while but you will eventually get one. the GM factory will be cranking them out once supply chain issues get sorted.

GM president has also told dealers not to add ADM. But whether dealers adhere to that idk.

i would still try to get on a list. I imagine quite a few people will drop off with the rising inflation rates.
