and apparently quicker 0-60 2.5 compared to 2.6 also and AWD handling. Will be interesting to see how it does head to head on a track. They can still make a Grand Sport version based off the z51 for $30K less and they probably will... |

And people made fun of GM lol. Everyone downsizing engines, dodge doing an EV challenger with a fake fucking exhaust sound.
Meanwhile GM gave us an american ferrari and an american, but better, and cheaper, and faster, version of the NSX. I fucking love GM right now! ![]()

Literally would have zero interest for Eray over Z06 at that pricing. 0-60 does nothing for me, just order up a Plaid if that was the case. |

lol they just did ...it's called the E-Ray.
Anything thinking there will be another model the same way standard for $30k less is dreaming. Just wait for the market correction and/or crash. Vettes will be back to needing to be discounted to be sold |

An ERAY will draw a bigger audience than people think. Idk why people think that it being a hybrid will deter buyers. It will actually attract more buyers than a z06. Some people don't have a care in the world about their corvette sounding like a ferrari. No one cares at all the z06 can probably run a 7 minute at the nurburgring. People do care that the z06 has the same torque number as the stingray. An ERAY will probably demolish the z06 in real world driving. Stop light to stop light or playing cat and mouse (if that's your thing and since we're on a BMW forum, cat and mouse is definitely a thing with BMW drivers). Hybridization is the way to go before they move to EV. And the ZR1 didn't even come out yet lol. That will be bonkers. Or the ZORA and ZR1 might be the same car. The final variant of the C8 lineup that will crush everything in sight. That said i already cancelled my stingray order. I moved my deposit to the ERAY. Still getting the z06 too. Hopefully in 2023 if there's no more fucking constraints. No sense in getting a stingray at all unless you go for a 1LT. If you start optioning the car, you're wasting your money, get the ERAY instead.

But after watching what the ERAY is all about, i just cancelled my stingray order and moved the deposit to the ERAY. There's already a fucking long queue idk how. I didn't even know the dealer had a list going. But i think i'll get it in 2024. I'm still getting the C8Z, this year i hope. The ERAY will be one potent ass street car. Idk about turbo s fast but maybe close!

That said it’s to somewhat offset the added weight of the electric parts.

There are plenty of rumors that Corvette will become its own brand. I think they explored the Cadillac route but is viewed as too geriatric. Having a broader range of Corvette offerings, a potential SUV….you have the makings of a bespoke brand. Also allows them to break out of the GM cookie cutter mold like Porsche when is was under VAG.

I think it’s a great GS alternative. However, you’re getting a lot more than just a Z06 body, tires and brakes. You’re also getting more power, additional power plant, AWD, plus CCBs included which are $8500 on their own. I mean a base C8 is now $65k. Adding $8500 for the brakes makes it $74k…..another $10-15k for the Z06 body. Now you’re at $85-95k. Another $10k gets you a hybrid platform and other goodies like HUD and mag ride. Sounds exactly correctly priced.

Price is in line.
Unimaginative and no technical prowess in the front electric drive unit, not surprising for an American car. |

E-RAY is a perfect name. First hybrid corvette, why miss the opportunity to call it that? Plus grand sport sounds "old" in todays world. Imagine some rich youtuber saying, "yeah going to go pick up my grand sport!" ERAY is much more appealing.

It's hard to argue what an ERAY will bring to the table. People complained about the stingray's lack of punch up top. That is solved with 160hp more. It's going to be a beast of a driver. No it won't set lap records or sound as good as the LT6 (then again not many people care about that sound) but for what average buyers will use this car for, it will absolutely put a smile on anyone's face. I really wanted to have 2 corvettes, my C7Z and my C8Z in the long run. The stingray was going to be temporary until the C8Z arrived or maybe 1-2 years then sell. But with this ERAY, the stingray is far less appealing now. I rather just have an ERAY and a C8Z. Daily the ERAY, weekend duties for the C8Z. But i know me. I'll always find another daily. Because sometimes you need a daily, for your daily, for your other other daily ![]()

I just read that ERay won’t have a gas guzzler tax like the Z06 does. So that’s another $2600 you can save with ERay. So should be less expensive to fill up too, not that you care so much when paying over $100k.
