2020 Corvette to START at $59,995.00 (price updated)

I certainly wouldn't call it a Ferrari copy. But the fact of the matter is, that's who they want to compete with. The new Corvettes are supercars. They are decades behind the curve going mid engine. Zora wanted that in the 60s. By all accounts this is a big deal. I'm far from a "Vette guy" but I'd way rather have this at 500hp than a Hellcat at 700 -- sorry Mike.
 
Some of us will have our firm opinions one way or another on these things, that's just normal.
To a large degree most all vehicles from certain era's can all look really similar at a glance. Mid engine cars all tend to follow a certain vibe. You can call corvette copying Ferrari & not be 100% wrong but hell, after the enzo came out with the large front side vents & such, even your f'n Toyota sissy mommy cars are getting similar features.
It'll take a little while for me to develop my own opinion of the new vette, but it will be just , my opinion.

Speaking of my opinions, I have a nickname for corvette clubs they don't take lightly to::::: the future engine donors of America club.😛 On that note, as a camaro & vette transplant recipient, wonder how hard that LT2 or LT5 will be to transplant. I could consider giving up el camino pickup bed real estate if the back half of a new vette showed up for free on my doorstep. Not holding breath though.

Natasha wanted a Vette. But, she... err... we... we had two kids. So she/we (hee hee...I said she-wee) has to wait - so I got the next best thing. But, yeah if we were still DINKs we'd be all over something like this. Empty nest here we come!

PS. Hellcats are underrated.
 
You know, I'm not really a "Porsche Guy". I only owned the Cayenne for 3 years before I got sick and, initially, I only owned it because the wonderful VW Touareg we loved, could not get fixed because the dealer service dept were morons that also loved to drive my Touareg like 87 miles while it was in for service, etc. So, actually having a SUV need here in Kansas and out at the cabin and loving that TDI diesel, I said screw it and ordered the Cayenne TDI. Great vehicle that we'd still have if my better half was not too conservative to "drive a Porsche" as her primary. Oh, she loved driving it but was just too conservative to be a "Porsche Gal".

. . . so I bought her an Audi TDI and now a Landrover TD6 that are CLEARLY more conservative [go figure?].

Short story long, at the dealer waiting on our Audi to be serviced, I did make the mistake of driving a 911 GTS with almost no miles that I could actually afford with a CPO warranty and those things are more than just a penile extension. They literally feel like an extension of you. Like you - the car - the road become one as propagandized BS as that sounds. It was nearly that way with my Pepper frankly but it is still a SUV, not a sports car. Almost bought the GTS but there was a reason I sold the Pepper. With my health, just too nice and expensive of a vehicle to be sitting in my garage collecting dust most days.

I think it's great GM is doing things like this instead of ending the program . . . and even if they eventually supplant internal combustion with batteries and 600HP of AWD E-motors, that won't bother me either. It's all good . . . as long as we are not all forced into boring, self driving, E-nonsense.

That looks nothing like a Vette. GM is trying to hook potential supercar buyers with the cheap price. I would rather have a Hellcat, styling is meh.
 
You can see touches of past concept cars Chevy did ages ago. The car to me has a few touchs of the 2019, roof and 1/4 window. What do you get for $60 K in ANY of the 3 pony cars? Hell a nice new Blazer cost $52 plus, and you only get a 300 + hp. 6. I’m old enogh to remember when a new Vette cost between 4 and 5 K. I’ll never be able to buy one, but I’ll keep playing the lottery. Can’t wait to see them compete against the rest of the worlds super high priced cars.
No such thing as a nice Blazer, an ugly embarrassment. Surprised it is that fast with only 495 hp, it must weigh 2 pounds. Curious if it can match the supercars in handling. Top Gear always hated American cars for their handling, it will be interesting to see the reviews.
