    Since they are doing the retro thing with the Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger, why not do a C2 Corvette? That was the best looking body IMO, plus you can actually see out of the damn thing!!!

    The C8 has an aluminum frame from what I hear. The motor has so much HP it is bending it.... So that makes one wonder how it will hold up in the real world's crappy roadways.

    Wait a couple of years and they will be selling for half. My last new corvette sold for half of what I had paid 3 short years later. A few things that you should never buy new unless you have lots of money and its not a concern.

    1. corvette
    2. S class benz
    3. 7 series bmw
    4. cadillac
    5. skater


    You can generally find all of them lightly used for half in a 3 years time.

    They want to change the demographic.

    The Corvette should no longer be "a successful plumber's car".

    It will be a $170k supercar, which is a bargain.
