And just like that, a bunch of Corvette purists went “hmmm, maybe I will like this car”. LOL 60k sticker, GM depreciation plus the depreciation of the “base” car as the up horsepower models get released…Wonder what you’ll be able to pick one of these up for in 2 years. Own a CPO mid engined supercar for $30k. ---

I tried to stay up and passed out… Rear end looks great when not taken from a crazy angle on a motorola razr. I wonder if the rear trunk is removable, seams like a great place for turbos and cooling equipment. Overall I like it a lot. ---

I just realized it has 2 trunks!!! I would cut out the back one and make the car even shorter. ---

The only thing that bothers me is the outside quad exhaust, very Camaroish. Would Like to see someone make a quad center exit. ---

The best part about this corvette, is that it doesn’t look like a corvette. Not that there’s anything wrong with looking like a corvette because they are attractive cars IMO, but on the way to work this morning I passed 6 of them on an 18 minute drive. This will be much more unique on the road as no one will know what the fuck it is. ---

It has enough room for 2 golf bags. Sold. It sounds silly but if you golf you know how frustrating it is when you have to drive your daily to the golf course!..Or even weekend get away with 2 small bags. ---

My only complaint on the interior is that HUGE row of buttons for the climate control down the divider between the driver and passenger. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/7/a7292f17eb68c5d41cdb71e701984428041a2094.jpeg) You can see it better in the full res shot here: ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/5/2/526d4d12d359810450c30f2cf2b02975a081d6ee.jpeg) ---

Ya I could have done without that. I would have been fine doing everything via the touch screen but i get why they felt they needed hard buttons. ---

You mean because 90% of Vette drivers are too old to use a touch screen? 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mid-engine-corvette-c8-2020/271429.md?page=6) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mid-engine-corvette-c8-2020/271429.md?page=8)
