is it me or does anyone else think that interior is a wee bit too cramped for your average corvette owner? Where is the passenger suppose to rest their left arm?

Probably this vette but maybe like 4-5 years down the road so GM gets all the bugs/issues sorted out.

You mean towards the driver? The one driving and controlling the car?

The GTR is not 100k anymore. Base is 130k.
Also, are they all 60k or is the good one like the ZR1 100+?

no you're not gonna get a sub-3s exotic for 60k
but it's still a brand new mid-engine NA sports car that's designed and built like its predecessors for decades, not a badge engineered job

well he said the base model will start at under 60k usd. The sub 3 second one is the base + a performance package so probably 70-80k usd.
That being said im very curious as to what kind of numbers the base model will get you. IM sure its no slouch.
Dry Sump lubrication
DCT (to start, manual tranny later)
almost 500hp and 500ft/lb
NA pushrod small block
2 inch front axel lift system (YES!!! thank you)
WHAT THE FLYING FUCK. how can you sell this at 60kusd!??!?!
Here's all the chevy 2020 vette playlist
VIDEO
This isnt even the z06 / zr1 yet. This is just the base vette w/ a z51 performance package.

So im watching all these youtube vette videos and it looks like the redline is a meager 6500 RPM. I mean i get it small blocks never really rev that high, but i was hoping for more of an exotic screamer

Looks like I need to travel light if I'm going to rent one of these... I rented a couple of C7 convertibles in Vegas and San Fran. I was able to fit 2 overhead luggages + laptop bag.
This looks like it may have room for a back pack... lol

Dudes, this is the performance bargain of the century. Like base model m3 money will get you 911 turbo performance/Tesla p100d
My only real gripes are with that weirdo cockpit and the low rpm redline. Hopefully it'll sound somewhat exotic since its V8.

Corvette's been the best bang for your buck sports car for a long time. It's just that being a mostly import forum, people trashed it because push rods and leaf springs... Cheap, fast, reliable... pick two or buy a Corvette.

Are you sure they ain't gonna do the Gtr bait and switch. Didn't there Gtr start at like $65000 and ended up to be like $150,000 now?

Looks like no more leaf springs. Man the pricing on this is attractive as hell!
