Surprised it wasn't a thread already! 2020 mid engine Vette
Yeah, I could be tempted. 400+ hp... Sub 3 second 0-60... looks really nice... and all for 60K? Man it's gonna be tough to keep the 911 even though it's an icon with performance and a price like that!

That is the first Corvette since about 1982 that I like. But I wonder? It starts at $60K, so what doesn't it have at that price? Personally I don't like most of the options/electronic gadgets in todays cars. For me, manual transmission, paddle shift would be OK but not mandatory, A/C, Power locks, basic sound system. Maybe power windows. That's it, I don't need anything else.
It does look an awful lot like the new NSX. |
Let me be the first to say that I can’t stand the interior. The asymmetric center console is hideous and, note to car designers worldwide, I want a round steering wheel in my cars.
Yet another performance car with no manual transmission. Boo. |
Don't like the 1st pic...can't use twice the performance...just not for me. I would not trade my Carrera for one....
|
While I applaud GM for going mid-engine the style just doesn't do anything for me . But many modern cars the style does nothing for me . Too many large mouth bass radiator grills , way too angular lines meh no thanks . I look at the smooth curvy shape of my Boxster and see a modern 550 spyder . Guess I'm not a Vette guy ......... I'm OK with that :D

Actually gotta say I really, really like it. For the money, what new car can top that?
After paying for another $8k service my neighbor is going to have me sell his McLaren, he wants to replace it with one of these. |

I don't believe they have a transmission that works reliably yet. That's a cause for concern.

I watched the unveil last night, real time. Thirty minutes of boring engineers and astronauts talkin BS about how high tech the car is before they actually showed it. I nearly turned it off. That said, its a hell of a car for $60k. I wish my Cayman had 495 horsepower and a PDK. Sticker on it was $64k in 2008. |

No manual? Ok nevermind.

Too much cowbell. Too much Chevy. No manual. I'll keep the 991 thanks.
|
60k
bet the dealers additional profit and add on's will double that for a while |
|
Don’t like no manual but I would have same issue if I wanted a new Ferrari or Lamborghini. Awesome that Porsche still offers manual on 992
Hate how that trim piece on door is black and not color of body Row of buttons is very odd Hate the hood lines Hate the tail lights and the whole rear end basically Don’t like snow flake rims Otherwise best modern corvette yet! I do like the roof into rear contour. Looks nice like they ripped off Ferrari and that’s ok with me Compared to modern Lamborghini style, the corvette is no worse |

Oh and I’ve seen a ton of McLarens around town and god what an ugly car that is. The F1 is the only model I’ve ever seen that didn’t look totally stupid

For how to do a modern sports car interior, look at the 992
