I definitely think this will be a game changer. I also talked to multiple dealers and most either flat out lied out mark ups or were up front about them. They ranged from $5k-$30K. I was luck enough to find a dealer that said they don’t mark up their cars and would sell me one for under MSRP! I only have to put down a $500 deposit. I’m also putting another deposit down for the forthcoming Z06 variant as well.
That’s great to hear there are some dealers that are selling from for at or under MSRP! I applaud those dealerships and hope they get more business because of it. If the Z06 is going to be what I suspect, supercars are going to be running for the hills! Exciting times we’re in.

Looks like it is going to be a huge hit! If they are to uprate the engine, then it would have to be turbos with a slightly smaller displacement because using the engine from the C7 Z06 or another from the ZR1 would cause it to tailspin like the 911 because the wheels would have to cope with all that weight and torque while cornering.
Agreed. I read and heard a 4.2L V8TT is in the works which sounds believable. Probably be another year before that released but I’m excited to see this car progress up the performance ladder.
ISFASTER That’s great but I just hope GM won’t jack up the price too much, as I hope GM can preserve the Corvette’s reputation for being the sports car for the masses.
I’ve seen other people get these for MSRP already but it’s up to that dealership what they want to do. What’s great about this car is that there will be 10s of thousands of Corvettes produced so it’s not like this is some ultra exclusive car that you either pay the price or hit the road. I’m sure dealerships are taking advantage of the hyped right now so unless you HAVE TO be one of the first ones with this car I bet you’ll be able to get it at MSRP in no time.
The C8 looks great and what a steal for $60K! I wonder how many purists are still mad about the new layout. I remember reading not long ago that the ZR1 mule was bending frames! BTW, there was a suspicious-looking character standing by your car! 😂
Yes it is! No other car like it for the money. I can’t wait to see the reviews of it and the complete write ups once the people/reviewers get a chance to drive them on the road. Also looking forward to and what’s in store for the performance variants. That character is my father-in-law! Haha.
@@ISFASTER Yeah, maybe the GT350 but the C8 should be quite a bit faster. With such a quick 0-60, the C8 must put the power down really well and of course handle better with the new layout. My bad about your father-in-law...I was wondering what he was doing standing by your car!
@@esteve72 - No worries, I would be wondering as well if I didn't know him! Haha. I like the GT350s, especially their exhaust note but I have a feeling the C8 will outperform it in all measurable metrics besides passenger count!
I never thought I would see the day where you could not buy a new corvette with a manual and chevy tells you... They will never ever ever offer it in and corvette of any version again. Meanwhile civic si, miata, golf, gti, and golf r, Porsche, and the current corvette and Camaro with more power and less space for one do. All of these great engineers and they refuse to allow a manual. Not because they cannot. But because they are not allowed to. This is like the headphone jack on phones it's shows the greed. Manuals are cheaper to buy, maintain, repair, and replace, in general. lighter weight higher top speed but slower to shift. And make a lot less profit before during and after the sale for service and maintenance, and we cannot have that. Wired headphones are on average the same but they have a wire in the way and do not need sealed batteries that make wireless one useless after a year or two of heavy use and radiation around your head to operate. Both have their pluses and minuses both were available before but now you must buy a dongle to do what you use to do for free double dipping. I think Chevy will offer a manual but it will cost more than the dual clutch but it may allow the car to operate in either mode. That would not be to bad but it's still double dipping.
Maybe Chevy will eventually put one in but from what I’ve read the manual sales even on the C7 were a much lower percentage than the auto, 15-20% of all sales if I remember reading correctly. Time will tell.
@@ISFASTER 15-20% is not a small amount all things considered. But I do think you are right car and driver is reporting I believe that they can add a electric clutch that sends info to the dual clutch to put it in the right gear and it may have adjustable clutch weight and engagement points and be able after a car shut off and to be put in fully dsg mode with paddles if true it will be the first of its kind and the best of both worlds but would add a few thousand to the dsg cost. The other option is to go for a modified tremec 7 speed true manual transmission only in the base form but not in the higher spec models to come. Does anyone have the list of the last 5 year's auto to manual sales of the base stingrays corvette?
What’s good is that this corvette will be mass produced and not a limited production vehicle so I’m sure as long as you don’t mind waiting you’ll get one for MSRP. I’ve even seen some people get them at MSRP already. Just got to shop around.
I could see a $1000 markup but $5k is a rip off. You can order at many dealerships out of state with no markup and pay $1k or less and have them ship it to you. I did it on my C7 from Montana. Not to mention in 6 months or less they will drop the markup anyway.
I’ve seen some other local dealers already selling it at MSRP. Unless you HAVE TO be one of the first people with it so you can flex on everyone for a little bit then I would also just wait. 😁😁😁
Enough prancing around showing the car off. When will we actually know what the car can do. All performance data is hypothetical. How about a road test with some actual numbers? I can’t believe people are putting down deposits on these. I know it will be fast but seriously, how about some actual hard data. For example, what if the best 0-60 they can get on a road test is 3.4? They better be able to substantiate their claims. This all coming from a corvette driver and lover of the new one. We’ve been teased for months about what it will look like and now we have to be teased about its performance.
Come on Chevy dealers show some class. No markups! Don't be a Ford Mustang Shelby, 302 Boss, Gt 500, 350, markup dealership. I saw a Shelby sit at a Ford dealership for over a year because they wanted 20 grand over MSRP. They didn't get it either. They finally sold it at MSRP, lol. Chevy if you build it they will come buy them!
I feel ya! I can’t stand these “market adjustments” on cars but there will be so many of these made that I doubt the dealer markups will last very long.
Do you think Chevy has changed the performance field with the new Corvette?
The interior is definitely better. I believe the performance will be there.....
I think this bumped the Porsche Cayman from #1 position in my 2 seat sports car wish list.
Same with me. The Cayman’s saving grace is that it comes in manual, unlike this Corvette.
Yes most definitely no one can compete at that pricing level once they add the ZR1,z51, etc it will leave the competition in the dust
I agree, I’m having a hard time thinking of any cars that can compete for the price and I’m stumped.
Hands down best car out there quality performance styling...ow and the price..amazing.
They’ve really done a good job from what I’ve seen. I’m hoping it will live up to the hype once the driving impressions are out. Game changer!
Styling? really...
I definitely think this will be a game changer. I also talked to multiple dealers and most either flat out lied out mark ups or were up front about them. They ranged from $5k-$30K.

ISFASTER I think other car manufacturers are already scratching their head me and questioning themselves lol.
My dealer in Florida is 0 mark up on new Vette.
That’s good news!
This car is awesome! Thinking about getting one 😎
Nice! Go for it!
And yet there're plenty of dealerships that'll sell for msrp (no markups).
Yup, I’ve heard of a few already doing that.
C8 3 seconds gotta love it
I was amazed when I heard that!
This is one serious machine. And this is a stingray at that. Imagine when the z06 comes out..Crazy
Agree! It’s gonna be wild to see the Z06 and ZR1 when they’re released!
Don't call poorman's Feralli.
I’m 6’2” 350
Can I fit in the new vette?
I would recommend finding one to sit in and find out. Height wise you’ll be ok from what I saw at the event.

Cool. It will be interesting to see the price of these once options are added.

It would certainly seem that way! I’m glad it’s going to be mass produced and not be an unobtainable vehicle for most!

Love the tire boot on the trailer like it's in a bad area..lol.
NEVER NEVER buy from or trust a dealership that sells cars over MSRP.
SORRY MY MOMMY TOLD ME TO ONLY BUY LEXUS...🤣
There’s a lot of great cars out there! 😁
A dealer markup of 5k? Is that the norm when a new Corvette comes out. I wouldn't pay over MSRP.
I’ve seen other people get these for MSRP already but it’s up to that dealership what they want to do. What’s great about this car is that there will be 10s of thousands of Corvettes produced so it’s not like this is some ultra exclusive car that you either pay the price or hit the road.

I’m waiting on the second run of the C8 so that they can work out any issues so I’m in no hurry to buy.
Or just wait and in a few years you’ll get one on a heavy discount from a senior gentleman who only drove it to cars & coffee! 😆
The C8 looks great and what a steal for $60K! I wonder how many purists are still mad about the new layout. I remember reading not long ago that the ZR1 mule was bending frames!

Awesome car. But I bet the markup will make it closer to 90k.
Couple dealers are selling it at MSRP. Depends how you option it though, price only goes up!
if Chevrolet make this corvette awd would be perfect
I’ve heard the ZR1 may use electric motors up front.
I never thought I would see the day where you could not buy a new corvette with a manual and chevy tells you...

Good for them... we live in a capitalist economy.
Yeah the base is 60k any options will jump the cost up
Dude get out of that Dealership!! $5K markup is nuts with a $2.5k deposit! It's a $1K everywhere I've seen and no markup on the East Coast!
Just there to check it out in person. I’ve seen other local dealerships selling at MSRP.
Lol what the base price for this car is 60k
Under $60K is what they said at launch.
I could see a $1000 markup but $5k is a rip off. You can order at many dealerships out of state with no markup and pay $1k or less and have them ship it to you. I did it on my C7 from Montana. Not to mention in 6 months or less they will drop the markup anyway.

The rim design are trash.
The car is dope that interior looks nuts
I also thought the wheels weren’t that great, decent but I would want to go aftermarket.
There is plenty of rims design dude
ISFASTER one wheel design looks too busy and the other one looks too simple.
GSHeverything _27 it only seems like its two designs just in different colors. But design sucks
It doesn’t look as good without Black Rims on it
The wheels are best in the darker colors in my opinion. Not the biggest fan of the design choices though.
ISFASTER Dark/Black Rims FTW
Stop moving the camera that much.
But yet your F will still smoke it on the track lol just like with them ZL1's
😆😆😆 Now that would be a “kill” for the books!
I would easily pay 5k markup over buying a overpriced euro sports that isnt giving you as much performance!!
I can’t think of much from Europe that’s in the same league as this car for this price. There are dealers selling at MSRP which is good for us!
5k markup! What a joke.
Luckily there are dealers that are selling for MSRP.
