Thinking an ICE will still be in the garage even after an R1T comes home. I'm not a Chevrolet fanboy and think the Corvette is a cliche on wheels, but the C8 has me thinking diff'rently.
Been watching the local dealer markups of $10,000 - $30,000, and the even larger premiums online. A few zippin' around town, mostly driven by the demographic Chevrolet is trying to get away from: elderly and driving 10 under. Locally it's a 3 year wait if not wanting to pay $100,000 for what was a $72000 build spec. There are two in the area for a big markup and ugly colors (acceleration yellow or $1500 decal kits).
I'm the last to know, it seems, but a handful of Corvette dealers on the east coast sell Corvettes by the boatload at MSRP. The wait for the new Z06 is less from one of these dealers than it is waiting for a base Stingray, and the price is LESS when not factoring in markups. Think my replay button is broken from hearing the Z06 testing in Bowling Green.
Lurking on the few Corvette forums was shocking how passionate the owners are. I don't dare click on the "Corvette vs Mustang/Dodge/Tesla/Ferrari" threads. You know it's as contentious as religion, politics, and pandemic theories, or EV vs ICE.
Okay, my morning coffee Z06 tangent is done.
