Get ready to get bent over by your dealer with the markup.

I've been waiting for this thing for 5 years, can't wait to see what Corvette has cooked up

Did GM hire someone off of Fiverr to make this clip?

300k street price. Good news is the Z06 values will drop hard.

[jeffkooienga]

BABY....can't wait to hear more about this car!

[ABthatMan_]

It’s definitely a twin turbo 5.5 liter

[anchoranchor]

Can’t wait to see it. Also make a NON EV Camaro!!! I love my ZL1 but would like to see what y’all could cook up with a 7th gen ZL1.

Man the C6 ZR-1 is truly incredible I can only imagine what this monster is going to be

[smykster]

Hmm, is the engine noise in the beginning is actually from the car, it doesn't sound like the 5.5 litre.

[timstone]

Cant wait to order that one. Gonna be my 4th vette but my first ZR1❤❤❤

[rikaav]

Really hope this isn't disappointing 🙏

[Commander_Shepard]

I was waiting for this moment to come!

Notice how Chevy lists the performance, Stingray, ZO6, E-Ray, and then ZR1, is it a turbo 5.5 DOHC V8 or is it a naturally aspirated 5.5 DOHC V8 from the ZO6 with the E-Ray's front hybrid motor setup, guess we all find out sometime this Summer

I'm excited for this guys, great work on the C8 platform! It's already a HUGE success! If I had to make a realistic wishlist for the future that I believe a lot of customers would love, it would go something like this:

A more stripped down track car for the streets, A widebody Grand Sport option, purple and teal, maybe even some chameleon style paint options or even a custom paint color option, and an LT6 crate engine for purchase.

Yay another variation of the unattainably expensive badass car that the regular man will never afford

[johnbehneman]

THANK YOU SO THE V8 IS ALIVE AND WELL IN 1984!!!!

[NewCastleIndiana]

C8 owner here. It should be super exciting.

Another suggestion... why not just replace the Camaro with a more budget minded, manual successor to the C7 using the same chassis? You could sell a "budget" front engined Corvette that is more driver oriented like the Toyota GT86/BRZ for around $45, 000 starting price, undercutting the Mustang in price while looking more exotic and athletic. Also giving a ton of special appearance options that you know people will pay for that will likely bring the average transaction price WELL above the $45k starting price. Make some special editions every year, like the Challenger did. The hype alone will once again fill the order books for years if you make it look desirable enough. And it won't cannibalize sales because it targets a different type of buyer. One that prioritizes steering feedback, a manual transmission, and a more lightweight, bare bones feel like the C5 and C6 had. Something with some drama. The C8 is on the cutting edge. This would be a lovesong to the past that we all miss and love. You can make it work, you just have to believe in it. Do it in secret like the guys did with the C5 and then just show it to management and hope they fall in love!

Does it come with the standard option of garbage buying experience? Is the price gouging scam bag dealer an optional accessory or does it continue to be a GM standard feature?

[chazcarpenter]

Probably same flat plane V8 as Z06 just with 2 turbo’s slapped on it. And im here for it 😮‍💨. My guess is 800-900hp range
