What’s the msrp on a gt500?


Sent from my iPhone using svtperformance.com
74k starting and goes up a lot with the carbon package.

I personally hate Corvettes and will never own one, the C8 looks cool and all, but I would still pay the extra for a GT500.

A lot of car for the money, this thing will be wicked on the track. Not feeling the ass end though, looks kind of camaro to me.

I think the 60K'ish price tag for the base C8 is an easy one. That DCT transmission isn't costing GM anywhere close to the 20K number I have heard thrown around. I bet the cost from Tremec to GM is much lower since the DCT will be standard, there will be a high volume of these needed and that will drive down cost. The corvette has always been sold in high volumes and the C8 will be no different, GM should be able to sell the shit out of these cars given all the hype. They won't be able to keep these on the lot!

The interior looks a bit odd. Too many angles making it look like it was designed piece meal. That row of buttons is the odd as well. I don't like it at all. The rear end looks like it belongs on a Camaro. That said, I do like the sides and the front end. But that's it. No like, overall!

I’ve beaten several dead horses with this, but it drives me nuts that Ford has had no competitor to the Corvette, let alone the C8.

Sounds like a hell of a car.

Did I read that correctly, a DOHC?

I was ready to hate this car, but I really like the pictures.

Low hp number yes, but:
1. base car
2. Mid-engine car
3. 3300 lbs
4. DCT trans

With the mid-engine this car will be a really nice track car.

Agree with the above statement that the rear is "camaroish", but it doesn't look bad.

Wonder if you still get a leather jacket with "CORVETTE" on the back and a pair of Jorts with each car?

495HP is weak, oh well. The rest of the car is very nice, I like it. The blue was outstanding looking, wow.
HP is an increasingly irrelevant metric though, isnt it? 495 in a mid engine 3400 package w/ 8sp DCT is serious shit. Not sure where I saw it but only vette faster than a base c8 is a zr1 c7.

Biggest challenge now will be explaining "mid engine" to the bitches down at the VFW.

No DOHC at the moment, still an LT based motor with designation LT2, same 6.2 displacement and 11:5.1 compression ratio as the LT1.

Oh... interior looks crappy. The vatozone mounted iPad looks way out of place. Should have been integrated into the design of the dashboard.... also that train of buttons exploding from the dashboard looks like puke. Almost looks like a concept interior.

(my best southern voice) Excuse me Gov-na, but I do not believe that the term "bitches" is a term that would be used to describe members of the VFW.
