The new C8 Vette has evolved so much that I don't even think "Chevy" when I see one. I see a "Corvette". Saw one at the local post office yesterday (Rapid Blue) and chatted briefly with the owner. He's only had it for 3 months and loves the "beast". How could you not! As he drove away, the sound of it changing gears in under 100 milliseconds was totally bad ass. They have one hell of a DCT!

I’d say it’s a good way to get around upcoming ICE requirements except there’s already talk of the benefit of putting in a raw electric powered American super car. Similar in on how the Hummer is going to be.

I will most likely dump my Shelby for a C8. I’d like a Z06, but that is stupid expensive….

I think it looks a lot like a 2011 Lotus Evora

Wouldn't surprised me, it's so different than all other Chevys. Would be far less lame than what Dodge did with the Ram.

Makes me laugh when people correct someone about their Ram as if it's still not a Dodge. Please guy, Chrysler has done this forever with badge engineered cars that are otherwise nearly exactly the same besides said badging. They even had a Dodge Neon AND a Plymouth Neon at the same time.
