Looks pretty badass. First mid engine Corvette. Outta my price range.

495 horsepower
475 ft-lb torque
0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds
194 mph top speed

Looks nice

I saw that back in the winter.


Coming home one day on US 30.
I noticed the car, then saw the "Manufacturer" license plate.
No badges, logos, nothing.

They must have putting miles on a test car.

I notice a manual transmission isn't even an option now, not that I could shift as fast as the automatic anyway.

Last time I drove a 'Vette, it got a bit uncomfortable, being 6'05" and all.

That new one doesn't look any more roomy.

194 mph! Should be fine for a grocery run.

I'd like a 54.

He was truly ahead of his time...


Jokes aside, I kind of liked the FR vette. Yes it might be more prone to understeer or whatever, but it - like the Viper - always had that distinct aura of America.

I bet the salesman would be more than happy to dicker on the price 🙄

I've seen two in/around our town of 30,000 here in central NC. Had to do a double take but they are pretty sweet. Just wait until they bring out the performance packages. Supercars beware.

I rolled past this car a few weeks ago coming home from Portland.

No question, it’s a very sexy car...The driver on the other hand was fat, old as fück, and looked like he had Down Syndrome.

Typical Corvette driver.

😂😎

That is one sexy beast. Especially in red.

I bet it's super easy to work on

No wings, not weapon pods.....phffft....

All Corvettes are red...

Lol. An old man pony tail is like icing on a cake. Usually paired with the embroidered leather Vette jacket.

No doubt it is a sweet car though.





Hoping I can still grow a pony tail by the time I can afford one. 😃

Hey now be careful.
Some of us corvette drivers are not old and fat.
Well, maybe a little old.
Mine is a 2016 stock Z06, 650 HP, seven speed manual.
It will out perform the 2020, by a wide margin.

So the Vette FINALLY goes mid-engine. Been a long time coming...

I have not followed Corvette development for many years and couldn't identify anything after 1990 or so, really, but some of the later ones I've seen from behind look like they have Pontiac DNA in the styling. Talking about the tail lights here. Kinda had me thinking GM might one day revive the Pontiac brand and cluster all their high-performance vehicles under the name. Just a wildass guess!

When I bought the new body designed corvette in 1986. I Thought I was gonna be the baddest on the road, until I pulled up next to a guy in a 1970’s vintage 4 speed Corvette, I believe.

He dropped the ass on his Vette twice, and left me where I was. I remember just watching the rear of his Corvette drop and lift every time he shifted gears.

I sold mine less than a year later.

LOL

😎

And no ‘burner or “reheat” as the Brits call it 😀

I considered one and decided I will give a few years to "grow"...

prob drag bottom here

no thanx

Back when my kids were young, Mrs. Lastround and I said when the kids grow up and leave home, we would get us a Corvette. Well, we both got old and never got that Corvette. I’m too old and stiff to get into one now anyway. Oh well!

Spotted this'n in Bowling Green.....At Kroger.

So much plastic...

Police hate Corvettes, the red ones the most.

There's a lot to like about it, despite the fact that it's a GM. But no manual option? I get it that the new autos are fantabulous and alla that, but it's the friggin' principle of the thing.

Lizard Lick Towing come get it in the middle of the night? 😂😃

Manual, as it used to be known, is dead in performance cars.

Dual clutch paddle shifted marvels have taken over.

It's too bad they didn't give it a manual. Paddles are faster but three pedals are more fun.

The reason was that America doesn't like clutch pedals:

I still miss my first one straight out of college in 1985. My daily driver for years.

That new mid engine Vette can be had for $60,000 ish . Not cheap by any means, but not bad for a new ‘Vette

Base model of course...

Had a C8 on order for a few months. Cancelled it and bought a new ZL1 instead. Good move on my part as the Z is faster and less expensive. Right now if you get on the list to buy one with a major Corvette dealer you are looking at least a years wait. Don’t expect to pay less than MSRP for at least a couple of years.

Geeze, doesn't even hit 200 mph!!

Yeah but all those guys are getting fired 😱

Maybe I can get a black guy full size mannequin for the passenger side and get a free pass on speeding through some kind of reparations by proxy deal.

I followed a Accelerate Yellow 2020 Corvette up the the highway last week, I must say I would take a standard "slow" 194 mile version any day of the week.

Nah, I played musical garages for weeks. Kept them playing where’s Waldo.

Finally, I traded myself into a new Toyota Supra turbo with targa top, in metallic red. Wrecked it. That was pretty much the end of my cop fun cars for a while.

😎

You could get the ice cream home before it melts.

I did the Ron Fellows racing school in Pahrump Nevada a few years ago in a C7. Very fun but at almost 6'2" I just don't fit in them. Wouldn't be comfortable for very long.

I hate the cock pit design they do in all cars these days. Why does ever center console have to be 18"s wide? Does everyone prefer to drive with their knees together. They'd have to make a ball room edition before I bought one.

It’s Fuggin Ugly. And only 495 horses ???

Love that color.

Oh, yeah, it's not. I drove ours straight to Dallas, about 8 ours if I recall, and upon arrival I thought they were going to have to get the jaws of life to get me out.

Fit my wife well though and she drove it way more than me.

Base 3LT Convertible

Musical garages.

Lol.
