2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray Leaked Ahead Of Debut

[DizzySmalls]

I'll do a fair ass-end comparison when I get a chance to replicate this photo with the C8.

You selling that?

[chrsschb]

You selling that?

Nah

[iifymbro]

I think you can do that with just about most mid-engine cars. But, I don't see your drag and drop reference as much of a match.

Appreciating a brand new design that has been in the works for years is just that - appreciating. I for one don't give a shiit if you call it gushing. Speak for yourself or post in another thread with other like-minded people.

yeah ultimately the C8 is about performance for the money. Closest thing to it is the Cayman and it's a turbo 4-banger with 350hp. This C8 is a NA V8 with 500hp that will probably rekt the cayman in all performance tests, or at least match it.

Fact that a lot of people think it looks pretty good at the same time is just a bonus.

Basically. Can't really understand why the hate for this car other than the fact that they know most people who were planning on getting something else, now all of a sudden rethought their decision and added the C8 to that list.

Or maybe they hate the fact that this car is getting so much attention and they're not simply a chevy fan, a corvette fan or both.

Or maybe it's the fact that they also own nice cars, whatever they might have, an M6, GTR, AMG whatever that they know some joe schmo could get this car and draw more attention for a lesser price than what they currently own.

Lots of reasons for the hate in basically all automotive forum where the C8 is the topic. I think people need to get over it. If you don't like the car, don't get one, or don't acknowledge it. Just ignore it, or move along like it doesn't even exist.

Let others who like the car share their excitement about it lol.

I'm actually VERY shocked more people love this corvette more than the C7. I mean a lot of people like the C7 over the C6 but i thought that would be it.

But everywhere you phucking go. FB, IG, random car forums, i'd say 90% of the people posting LOVE this car. People who said they'd never own a corvette until now. People who said if they were shopping for a car in that price range, they'd get the C8.

So many people approve of this car which is like you said, an added bonus to the brilliant masterpiece GM put together. And the phucking price point is just another cherry on top to add to the rest of the cherries.

And again, this is the BASE model hahahaha.

Wait until the LT7 C8Z comes around. Holy phuck.

Nah

Nice ride. Got that Go Pro, too

Thanks guys. Agreed.

I had precisely ZERO plans to get another car and was content with what I have until this came out lol.

[DizzySmalls]

How low can the price of something like a 2016 C7 Stingray Z51 w/ ~15,000-25,000 miles drop?

Phuck that. If you're waiting for C7 prices to heavily drop after the C8 hits the streets, get a Z.

16's you'll be able to get it for low to mid 50s. 17's high 50s. I would go with the 17+ for the upgraded supercharger lid, secondary radiator (if manual).

Too rich for me. I'm just curious if any of the more common old C7s will start to fall within comparable range of my current gen Mustang GT. I'd be interested in making that jump if the price was right.

C7 in artic white with the black accents has always had appeal to me

Bro, you are speaking my language.

I have a 2016 z51 7mt with 9k miles and if I were to sell it it'd be in the low-mid 40s range. In a couple years (when I plan to sell it) high 30s. depreciation sucks sometimes

When I get tired of my Mustang in a few years a CPO C8 will be on the replacement list. Sucks I'll have no other choice then to join the "can't drive a manual" crew though.

Good taste. That's exactly like my C7Z

My '18 Mustang GT PP1 10R80 with <10k miles can probably be sold for ~$32k. I'd definitely pay an extra $8k or so to get into a vette.

My car really only feels fast over 4k RPM when the torque kicks in. Does not appear that the Corvette has that problem.

[Antonio519]

I'm very tempted to place an order/reservation but something tells me I should wait until the 2nd yr

[lsiberian]

That is sweet.

[chrsschb]

I highly recommend waiting. With the C7 many improvements were made over the life of the model. While I don't think the C8 will have any major flaws, I never recommend first year buys. Plus, who knows, you may end up being able to pick up a used, CPO, or GS, or Z06 later.

Mod motor problems (a Whipple fixes this)

Pushrod motors will always give you a bigger kick in the ass down low... but you can rev OHC motors to the moon to make up for it. All depends on what you want

[placentalprevia]

Would daily drive this car? If i put down a deposit now, its for this car to me my one and only for a little bit

Sucks it has no cargo compared to the previous years, but yeah I'd daily the fuk out of it.

This, even with the "low" 500s WTQ from a base whipple you'll have enough to never hook on street tires

I am interested in the blowers, but am hesitant to lose warranty coverage on the drivetrain for a 2018 GT, given the issues that people have had even at stock. As a person who isn't going to do any of my own install work, it would be cheaper and less risky to just buy a more expensive stock vehicle. It's my daily, no beater

2017 C7 Z06 vs. 2020 C8 Corvette Stingray in one year?

I'm tempted to come full circle and buy another Corvette to match one that was totaled in a car accident... I've found the previous generation Z06 always looks better than the newer generation base model (C5Z > C6; C6Z > C7). Can't tell with the C8 until I see it in person.

[iifymbro]

Chitty quality but irl car w/ the high wing and carbon side skirt/splitter accessories

Such a hard question to answer, depends on your end goal and budget. If you simply want the faster stock car, then C7 Z06. If you want looks, that's on you. If you want the better platform, then C8.

What I'm hearing is you can't get the upgraded aero without the big wang. Just FYI future C8 brahs.

That wing looks way better than that melted garbage on the z51

Yeah I like it better than the z51 spoiler.

Black looks best, IMO. Love it.

Totally agree and I usually think elevated wings are too much, but this has taste.
