€43k less than a Mustang GT and apparently an extraordinarily capable car it think there’s a good case for this as a cheap performance car. The 6.2L V8 probably sounds great too. 500bhp isn’t too shabby. I’m not gone on the looks but there’s not much out there offering that level of performance at that price.

I love the idea of the mid engine but in my opinion it’s ruined the overall aesthetic of the Corvette. The Vette has always had a long flowing hood but that’s gone now.

Ferrari vette! Let’s fuckin go. The MR engine IMO does great for the vehicle moment. Unless I’m just dumb and forgot all my engineering knowledge it’s way more versatile. It does look like a transformer fucked a Lamborghini but was american though.

As a car it’s great but it’s like the rear was designed by a different person than the rest of the car, looks out of place and unmatching. It’s like fitting a Ferrari F8 front to an Aventador rear.

They look quite a bit better without a spoiler, which is difficult to know since they virtually all have one.
Still not a great looking car by any measure.
They are violently quick, very fast, and their handling is fantastic.
The full-digital rear view mirror rocks. All cars should have them.

I love them. Finally an interesting looking Vette. They have been so boring for so many years now. Imho, the C7 was nice, but everything since the original stingray has been a snooze. 💤
Bold and hot, with good performance and lots of available colors.
Too bad the MSRP went up like $20k this year.
I’d maybe have one if they were going at MSRP post COVID but I wound up with something else that I love so I’m happy.

Forget the Corvette… did you get any photos of the Renault 5 Turbo in the background?

I think It’s “less american” of the other Corvette, but it’s also amazing. I’d buy the C7

The design just looks confusing, especially at the rear. There’s almost no cohesion anywhere, no connecting lines, it looks messy. That black “vent” thingy just chilling there out of nowhere with no lines continuing anywhere. To me the design in general feels like trying so hard to be cool.
Design aside, you get a LOT of car for your money. Mid engine supercar below 100k is rare, which is also hard to compared to other mid engine car design, which mostly is above 100k. Many reviewers also praised it’s handling, which is not often for american car.

Ugly as F. Why are there so many bits and bobs attached to the thingys? And whats going on with the nubs?
