My posts in this thread might be a bit biased but i am FAR from loyal to a particular brand. I just love cars. I don't look at a brand and say oh that's shit, even though it might be good, but i'll say it's shit because i'm loyal to another brand. Fuck that.

The only reason why corvettes was the only car that stuck with me the past 2 decades is because it's a proven formula that works.

A very fast, great looking, V8 race car for the road. I can't think of any other car like it, with the performance it has, for the money.

I paid under 70k for my C7Z BRAND NEW. What other car, that looks the way it does, that has 650/650, that has a 5 year 60k warranty? There is none.

And the same formula will apply to the C8Z. I feel bad for those who got on the wait list late or not on any wait list at all. Because this C8Z is actually THE REAL Z06. An NA mid engine supercar that has almost 700hp.

I expect GM to price this car at around 92-95k MSRP starting and my dealer, which is known to stay true to their word, will sell this car at MSRP. I don't know for how long, or for up to a certain number on the wait list. Since i'm under 200 on their wait list, i expect to receive my car this fall/winter.

As far as looks. There is no question. A blind man will choose the C8Z over the M3/M4 any day of the week.

I love my M3 but the front end is horrendous. Thank god it's fast and comfy.
Incredible monster that C8! But I gotta say Z06 vs G80, both cater to different lifestyles! G80s more our thing for sure.

WHat I don't understand about the current M3/4 is the F80 still looks fantastic and there's a ton of low mileage ones available, so why not go that route instead of living with the front end on the current one?

Is all tech related? Bigger screens? For a bunch of so called car guys the obsession with tech in these forums amazes me.

Some ppl prefer new ones built to their spec.
It’s hard to find a good car locally.

I’m sure a lot of ppl lease these cars as well.

I much prefer the old analog gauges, manual handbrake and beautiful styling of my F80. The only thing i like on the new cars is the Carbon Seats.

The C8 Corvette looks big and awkward from some angles but it doesn’t have anything controversial like G8x cars.
It looks good once you lower it and put some decent rims instead of the crap GM provides.

Nah she ugly, the vette I mean. It's a HELL of a bargain and kudos to GM but it looks awkward from every angle except 3/4 front view, the back half doesn't meld with the front. I would happily own one.

I agree. That’s why I currently have both a g80 and a z06 (c7).

Saw one in the flesh at the Indy 500. Looked significantly better than the standard.
