Amazingly, that does not bother me at my age in addition to living in the SF Bay Area with stupid traffic almost all of the time. Additionally, I have come to love the dual-clutch auto in my Audi S3 and I am sure the C8 will be much better than that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I agree, times are changing. One day we will not even hear the traffic anymore!

QUOTE(914forme @ Apr 12 2019, 08:04 PM) Word on the streets it will be $65,000ish base price. Bargain for what it is. That would be awesome! A C8 for the price of a base 718? Interesting proposition. I just sold my 2017 3LT Stingray in preparation for getting something new. The C7 is an awesome car and the build quality is VERY good. The C8 has the potential to give Porsche 718/992 a run for the money...especially at the current price levels and with their apparent push to hybrid/all electric drive. A lot of people (most?) in the US really aren't ready for that at this time.  |

Funny someone mentioned the first Gen ZR1.
The most un American Vette ever made. Engine designed and cast by Lotus and a ZF transmission. The Sticker Price on those was 60,000.00 in 1990. Chevy Dealers we’re charging an additional 10,000.00 For the first ones coming to the dealership. Can’t see them not doing that again... They called it ADM on the paperwork.. Additional Dealer Markup.... Let’s see what ADM these get for a while.. |

It doesnt look very lightweight An 94 zr1 has 400 Like always your comparing an tangerine to a blood orange. The number listed is for the base stingray, not the ZR1 or RZR, or LOE8 or what ever they want to call it. The engine has the potential to make serious HP, current C7 makes 800HP with some help from a group called Ligenfelter. The C8 ZR will be far north of 500 HP and I think the Lignefelter clan will push it close to the 1000 HP number. After all Henesey has done it with a C7. Future looks bright to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) 500 will be enough for most drivers and too much for others but pitting the car against a 718 is kinda Strange with the 4 vs 8 But im sure vet will be user friendly |

Is this going to be fiberglass or
Carbon fibres car Because i would assume making the car out of carbon fiber will skyrocket the cost over fiber glass |
