Yeah, I told him the same thing, he either needs to get realllllyyyy lucky or pay over sticker haha
I know he wants Z51 mainly as his only 'picky' option
If he is still asking, the odds have to be near zero at sticker. The only question in my mind is how much it would cost buy someone out to get the car so early.

Yup saw that this morning ^

In short he says:
- great car, but you get what you pay for, no quality control in terms of panel gaps interior and exterior
- DCT is very good and responsive.
- Ride Quality on bumpy roads is excellent. Only behind the Phantom and 720s.

Torn between two loves Porsche Carrera S or C8 Corvette convertible. 40k difference on price, maybe 1 second difference on track. Is 1 second and the intangibles worth $40k?

I'd venture to guess that the 2021's will have improved fit and finish. First year Vettes are always a work in process.

Couldn't see my self spending another 40-50K for a comparable 911 unless I really, really wanted a Porsche. Which I don't.

After about 75-80k, performance of cars on the market is relatively flat whereas dollars spent is not. So it comes down to driver enjoyment and whatever else someone may value.

How did/would you spec your 992S? You shouldn’t need to add more than 10-12k in options. My dealer is willing to sell me any 992/S/4S for 10% off sticker so there’s that too. Also, if you wanted manual the 992 is the only way to go. Though, PDK is still the best dual clutch on the market. If you’re still looking for a 992 let me know and I can get you his contact.

I have a GT4 allocation with a July delivery so I am going to take that vs a 992 unless something changes.

The C8 is getting more attention from both those who know what each car is and those who don't.

Love everything about this car! The rear spoiler bugs me. It seems out of place and or too Camaroish.

Agreed. The polished wheels are gone, but now we've got two tacky wings to choose from. Both are bad.

That does look great. Factory wheels and exhaust are absolute must goes. I also think the side intakes have to stay black, body color looks bad.

I keep coming back to the C8. It really is a great 2-seater and I'd rather buy from Detroit.

Those Ferrari looking HRE's definitely give the car a more exotic look compared to the stock C8 wheels that are kind of underwhelming IMO. I'm no GM fan but it's really hard not to like this car.

Are we going to get a new transformers movie with this car?

Bumblebee was a Camaro but this car might suit him better. It looks wasp like from the front.

Here’s something for anyone who wants a new C8 and is a gambling man. I laid down $120 for myself today.

Sure would be. Talking to the wife yesterday as we did the online section for the application for the lottery and I asked her what are we going to do with the C6 if we win? She said I keep the C6 and she gets the C8. Women.
