Interesting call. But, he's not really a domestic kind of guy...

Yep...

More than clyde would want to spend.

More GM than AF would want to own.


I'm going for the JV as the dark horse.

He's had at least two gens of corvettes, IIRC.

I'm definitely not buying the first model year. But I'd be lying if I said the C8 was not on my radar.

If nothing else the C8 is making my car inertia even worse

Not sure about the ass end. Or the 400 buttons on the console.

But it looks like an incredible car. The C7 used market is going to be pretty interesting.

I really wish they'd have a manual as an option at some point, but doesn't seem to be in the cards. Very compelling car regardless.

Agree with Josh PA that it will be AF.

My C8 thoughts in the other thread.

For $60k new, I'm buying a Camaro ZL1 long before a C8.
