Auto show 2020, and today' sorry state of automotive.

Use Coke, not diet Coke.
If you like ferrari so much, and consider the c8 deadly similar......what don't you like about the c8?
If the stingray cost $235,000 would it be better?
The kids at GM eliminated the manual transmission too, just like ferrari did about 8yrs ago.
It's a GM product and Sunny's bias is pretty clear.
Heaven forbid they take some super-car styling cues and give enthusiasts a mid-engined monster for less than half the price of its nearest competitor.
My beef stems from the fact GM, by designing the C8 from a "clean sheet" could have, should have come up with an inspirational design, not a rip off of a ferrari right down to the RIMS!
2020 Corvette Stingray Is Sort Of A Modern Ferrari 458, But Which Would You Rather Have? | Carscoops
The Corvette C8 is powered by a naturally aspirated mid-mounted V8 engine, just like the Ferrari 458

Look at the current NSX, its got its own style, Look at an R8, its got its own style, you know what it is by its unique looks.
The corvette? Yup, GM blew it again. and that tack on rear wing and rear styling is outright horrendous.
actually, don't click the link, when you see what a sexy stunner the Ferrari really is in all angles and inside and out, your eyes will bleeeeed.

Those guys seem friendly, but I'm not sure I would give them my car to test. Obviously they had a hiccup with their Model 3, this one had him get out with it in drive and the "stop stop stop" where they thought the curb was going to destroy the splitter.

GM put a crazy (north american) looking / performing car together in the c7. You hate that.
Now it looks european. You hate that.
I'm not a fan of the c8 LOOK either.
As for performance.......it's looking very impressive for a base model power plant, tied to some decent working suspension bits.
Nsx? So much style, nobody buys them. C8....ALL allocations filled, with waiting lists, and it's only been in production about 2 weeks.
Ferrari? The only thing about a ferrari that's gonna make my eyes bleed, is the initial cost difference, and the difference in maintenance costs from a c7/c8.
they didn't even do that right!

The C8 will sell well as it will capture sales from Porsche and BMW but mostly from other domestic high performance cars like then Mustang etc.
The C8 is very much on a similar strategy of the Honda Gold Wing targeting a younger buyer and not their existing customers.
However they will wisely continue production of the C7 for the traditional Corvette buyers.
The reality of the market and dwindling interest in high performance cars is that the best selling Porsche is no longer a 911 or Boxter but their Macan (SUV)
Long Live the 911 (56 years after launch)

you were getting 0-60 in 2.8 like that?
that's exactly why they made the suv, so they could generate more business and keep bettering the sports cars and racing
everyone is giving in, even Ferrari is said to be bringing an suv lol
That's exactly the situation the computers should be able to beat a human. Vary engine torque to keep the front wheel with zero weight on it and you hit the fastest time possible.
GM did well that people are even bringing up the car in comparison to Ferrari lmao
see post #51
I like everything you said here except for anything about the Fiat. Had one as a rental and while it was fine for that and I might enjoy booting around town in one for a day here and there, I wouldn't want to own one.
