new lower cost Vette model

[Baba Ganoush]

Low price corvette is already built, it's called Camaro.

My first thought.


Maybe this is one is 'Made in China'

[Ruffdaddy]

Maybe people want a car that does more than go straight fast? 400 hp in a small vette will still be great around a track compared to a base SS.

Its not a bad idea...


And yes it will be made in china. Therefore im not interested.

Garbage unless it weighs 2900 lbs.. Then it's a drivers car to be modded!!!

Yup

They'll sell. The guys that want a fast car will pay up, the women and non car guys that want a vette will opt for the lower option.

Same with the 6cyl Mustangs and Camaros. Some people like the looks and want something sporty, and some are in for the horsepower and performance.

[quikag]

Baron is spot on. It's the Vette equivalent of the V6 Mustang and Camaro.

Or someone who wants a nice car and doesn't want to pay as much money as a house costs.

Sure they will sell but the vette was never meant for "economy", its GM's flagship sportscar. Next thing you tell me is they offer it with a V6

I guess ill just stick with my Bolt on C6..

This will bring us a new level of vet-doushe-osity. Back in my valet days every time we saw a vette pull in we knew we were about to get stiffed on a tip, and treated like a lowly servant. Vette owners in general tend to be ass holes.(not saying all of them). They think they are the shit because they are 55yo. And can afford a 50k car. But they don’t tip, they want special treatment, and they think they are better than you. Had one actually say, “your tip is I let you drive my car.”
Now the fuck sticks who couldn’t afford the vette can? A whole new group of douches will be stepping up to the plate.

I bet you want me to believe they will be making them in more than one color too...

Same experience here when I was a valet.

[SNEAKY]

Really? I was a valet for several years, never really had that experience. This was the late 90's, early 00's. Most Vette guys I talked to were true gearheads, even the older guys. I even parked a C5 that had heads/cam/cage/etc, and this was in ~2000. The wannabe snobby guys were the ones that drove Boxsters! The guys that can barely afford them don't buy them new. They are the guys buying the base C5/C6 automatics in undesirable colors combos(i.e. CHEAP).

In other news, the c6 retrofit kit for the c7 tail section looks fanfuckingtastic!
