C8 Corvette making potential GT500 buyers rethink their options

[tones_RS3]

If I could have gotten the new GT500 without jumping through loops or paying outrageously stupid ADMs, I would take the GT500 all day, everyday over the C8. But stupid allocations and ADMs make that car unattainable for me.

Now if you said between the 2020 GT500 or the 2019 ZR1,....I'd probably pick the C7 ZR1.
I'm pretty sikked to see what the C8 Z06 brings us.

The GT500 will have a sense of exclusivity vs the C8 for sure. But, when the C8 Z06 comes out, it'll be no contest.

To the everyday fudd-nugget that doesn't know the difference between a Corvette, Corvair, Mustang, or Eclipse, I'm almost certain the C8 will take the cake there as well.

I really dislike the rear of the C8 and that control strip on the center console. Maybe they'll grow on me, but not really digging those attributes.

I agree with that. The controls layout in the cockpit is downright terrible. While I'm glad they didn't just lazily iPad the damn thing like every other manufacturers these days, they could have put in a little more effort than the straight line of haptic insanity.

I'll also admit that I was NOT a fan of S550s when they came out. I test drove one in '16, wasn't impressed at the time. It really grew on me. Now, I love it.

Camaro is rumored to be dead after 2020.

Good point, them Camaros could tank big time once this thing is released. Especially the Z/28 disasters

^Bingo on everything you just posted here.

Watch YDBT’s video... he hits the nail on the head.

You gotta be a buffoon or brand loyal *** to not see how impressive and game-changing this car is.

Well the GT500 is just a GT with Ricer Bodykit and a blower.....

And 10K painted on stripes.

And 10K painted on stripes.

As a Shelby owner, I pulled my stripes instead of replacement them when I had to fix crash damage 4 years ago. Dont miss em, and i think they can look tacky.....

Now if I can just find a set of red stripe gt500 seat covers Id be a happy guy

2023 is the end.

Truth be told, it turned out nicer looking than I expected. I know the first time I drive by one, I'll return home feeling more defeated than usual.

Lol yep. The fact SVTP spends significantly more time talking about other cars from different brands tells you all you need about the state of Ford Performance.

Or maybe that SVTP has too many trolls that aren’t even wanted in their own trailer park.

6.2 /10spd TrailBoss?

Not a bad truck. Didn’t know they offered it with the 6.2.

2020. The TB custom, TB LT and RST trucks get the option. Ive driven a couple and they would **** up that Tacoma

Indeed, glad GM is finally offering the 6.2 in lower trim levels..

@jeffh81 too many options. Been kinda craving a diesel. No real need for it, other than been wanting more room. But then I find myself also thinking about a hellcat, ZL1 or even going full retard and going C7Z.

But then, been also thinking about moving to a better trailer park...

 

[jeffh81]

Ah ha!

Im really thinking of listening to the one they call “Dave” and getting one. GM does offer a CAI and Exhaust that have been dyno proven to work. Im on the GM-truck forum and the guys have done back to backs on a couple trucks
