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.

Order books open up march 24 i think?

So pricing will definitely be announced soon.

I know, with the number i am at my dealer, is i'll probably get a call around june/july for when it's my time to order

It's soo exciting to finally own a legit corvette supercar. And yes the C8Z is a supercar now.

The LT6 absolutely sounds better. And that video showcases the interior, exterior, and acceleration although some of the clips are a bit flawed, it still is a good representation of how amazing the LT6 sounds.

GM can't build enough of ANY C8 now. The demand is so damn high. Part shortages, the strike, etc. So many hold ups. All that's happening is making the C8 generation the most desired generation of ANY car maker of all time lol.

I've owned 3 corvettes, of 3 different generations and i never been this excited to get my hands on the C8Z. Even when i was on my way to pick up my C7Z, the day of, still doesn't match the excitement i have for the C8Z that's coming this year. And i didn't even speak to the dealer yet regarding spec lol

And it's official.....

You're high.

There are a stupid amount of new and used C8s on the market.

Talking with a Chevrolet GM who is customer.... they had 19 a week or so ago with discounts.... now what does that tell you? 😆
