You're preaching to the choir. I been saying that the C8 generation is nothing like the past but the yoyo's on that forum think they know better. They don't.
I actually would not be surprised if they price the hybrid LT2 C8 at 85-90. An attractive middle ground that will show buyers they don't need/have to wait for a z06 when you have AWD and a small hybrid system to the already torquey LT2. The only thing that was lacking with the stingray is top end and i believe that would be addressed with the hybrid model.
The ZR1 would start at 175k. Then the ZORA (full EV model IMHO), will exceed 200k. Basically taking aim at every hyper EV out there, even the tesla roadster that supposed to come around 2024.
GM isn't playing games with the C8. This is the best generation so far. And we're only on the 2nd variant.
