I will; however, that was not a problem on my C7 so I do not expect it to be on the new Vette. For what it is worth the build quality of a Vette cannot be compared to that of a 911 since the latter is much better, but there are many little quality issues reported in this forum. Nevertheless, one cannot compare the build quality of a Vette to a Cruze since in that case the former is built much better.
718 GT4 Deposit has been withdrawn. Can't wait to get my hands on this car.
Well if nothing else, you should have around $40K more in your bank account: $60K C8 base vs $100K GT4 base, and probably more when ADMs and option prices are factored in. Good luck with the C8. BTW the Corvette forum has a couple of threads where some dealers have stated that they will sell at MSRP. It looks like all the top selling Corvette dealers are selling at MSRP. By way of comparison, a Porsche dealer from whom I've bought 3 Porsches, thought that he was making me a great offer by offering me a GT4 with only a $10K ADM.
Just curious, how did your SA react to the news that you wanted your deposit back? Did he ask you why?
You could order a C8 or pick one from the lot with a $10k discount off msrp a year from now. GM will flood the market with these babies and every sports car maker will take notice. McLaren will be especially hurt, but Porsche will be too. If C8 proves in real life to be 3/4 as good as it appears on paper, that is.
Like most things regarding beauty, personal observations are always subjective. Having said that, I think it's a great looking car. I also saw the bare aluminum chassis, which itself is a pretty impressive piece. At under 60k for the base model, if it doesn't have teething issues in it's first year run, it's a great performance value by any reasonable standard of measure. LS mods are also cheap and the recipes for horsepower are already common knowledge. A cam, injectors, exhaust, supercharger and tune could turn this into a serious weapon for relatively little money compared to its target competition. Looking forward to seeing lap times and durability over time, but I think it's pretty exciting and potentially raises the bar for all other manufacturers at that price point... and above.
I’d worry much more about overheating issues with the Z06 than the standard Corvette. If you plan to spend time at the track, I’d avoid the Z06.
True for pre 2017 models, but not for 2017+. I've driven my brother's 2018 Z06 at Watkins Glen for numerous laps, and no heating problems whatsoever.
Here's a link to a thread which corroborates my anecdotal experience: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...vs-2015-a.html
With the right spec this thing looks pretty amazing. If the performance delivers, and i am sure it will, GM will sell a zillion of these things. Industry disruptor car imo.
Hard bargain to beat I personally am looking forward to the grand sport version. Z06 will have entirely to much power on the street to have fun with plus it will be a turbo motor. Personal preference of course.
