It’s not a big deal dude. You have your opinions and I have mine. Me saying it’s a supercar is my opinion but you’ll find more people agreeing with me than those agreeing with you. And again once we see more performance data, then this car could be a failure. Im still getting it so I don’t care. Im not even going to track this car. I just want this as my forever car. As someone who had a c5, c6 and still my c7z now, it’s a fair assessment for me to say it’s a supercar. Not a big deal mang. |

Things will be much better when manufacturers sell directly. When you order your car online you'll probably have locked in the price, and won't have a crooked dealer telling you that the number you put a deposit down on is no longer going to happen. |

I just said it is and most people with other supercars have Also said that. Not sure why people get upset when people call a car they don’t think is a supercar a supercar. It’s hilarious though lol |

markups are what they are. its capitalism. if you don't want to pay the 90k markup you don't have to. someone else will. if they don't, then dealerships will lower their price.
as for 'supercar' its up to the person how they define it. its a gray area. everyone has their own criteria: rarity, performance, sound, looks, etc. how you weigh each one is up to you. For instance their are twice as many huracans as there are LC500s. likewise, a GTR or C7Z would stomp a ferrari 458 in most performance metrics.

GM is really screwing up the whole rollout of the car, though. Looks like I may not get a 2023 the way this is going & I am in the top 300 on Ciocca list. What a mess |

When you're the sole protester on the subject clearly shows there's nothing wrong with the general definition of the word, but how you're interpreting it. You're using your feelings to dictate what you think is right or wrong. I wouldn't call that common sense LOL. Ok that's it no more lol. But yeah you're right. GM really fucked up the intro to their FIRST SUPERCAR However even with how fucked up things are, people still want this damn car. Now i'm scared being 152 or so at mac, that i might not even see the car in 2023. I'm sure i will but i already told my neighbors i'll have the car next summer haha. I better not be fucking driving this car home winter 2023. It's all good since my stingray is coming first. Might twin turbo that before my z06 comes |

Great weekend enjoying Corvettes @ Carlisle, Tadge Juechter (Top Corvette dog) gave a nice talk and intro to the C8 ZO6 along with several nice throttle whacks which re-verbed nicely between the grandstand and the stage !

like people in the price range buy cars like a bodily function. theres people who just buy things for the fuck of it...or others save up. theres no rhyme or reason why someone buys somethings. I want it just for noise. others may want something else. its a luxary item and most def not their bread and butter item that makes the shareholders jizz. so selling more or less is whatever.
tbh i didn't read the whole thread, but typically on BP we try to jusify and get inside the minds of consumers buying 6 figure cars that are luxary items. you buy them as toys. |

And even after 3 years, they're still rare as a unicorn. I have seen more G8x cars this past summer than seeing C8's since it's debut. C8, of any variant, will be very rare. And by very rare i mean in comparison to previous generations. Remember just because GM produced a lot over the years, doesn't mean they're always on the road. More often than not, corvette owners drive their cars 1000 miles a year. That makes sightings very rare. We're going to be rockstars when we get our C8Z's lol |

I was set on ceramic matrix for the stingray and torch red for the C8Z. But now seeing hypersonic, now i'm having second thoughts for the C8Z. I think some colors look good on the C8Z but not the stingray. |

I never said that, but what I am referring to is the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon.

It sounds like many of us wanting a Z06 won’t have the chance since it will be highly constrained and Chevrolet estimates only 1 out of 10 orders will go filled.
