But, if you got into it, why would you want to get out of it? Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

Maybe not "in" but want to take a bet on how many it generates out of the car? | |||

On the way out to dinner last night, we drove up next to a black Acura NSX - beautiful mid engine, performance hybrid car. MSRP $159,490. With a starting price under $60K, I think that they will sell (or lease) a bunch of these new Sting Rays. Pragmatism: the relentless pursuit of seeing things as they really are. | |||

Trivia: What year was there no Corvette? "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

C3 or earlier for me please. After 83 or so they got ugly. Z06's were ok, more for performance than looks, but also by far the best looking post 1980's made, yet. New one looks cool, it's not a Vette, awesome car either way. I'll buy a used one at some point the 2024's will be a great value in 2029 prior to 50th Birthday. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I heard something about them keeping a front engine vette for a while with Corvette being the brand and having 2 models. Is this happening? ----------------------------------------------------------- TCB all the time... | |||

Like Skins said, I too prefer a C2 or C3 but I'd take a C1 also. To add what .30supersig said about the Fiero, I agree. A lot of the suspension parts incorporated in the first offering of the Fiero were from other GM cars. There were Chevette parts in it, also some X or J body parts, I forget now. Worst thing was the Pontiac produced 4 cylinder "Iron Duke" or as we called it in the dealerships "Iron Puke". I did love those cars when they campaigned them for engine fires. We replaced engines left and right under warranty, definitely helped my paycheck. They finally got the Fiero right for the 1988 model year. Then GM killed it off. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

Finally a mid engined car that won't break the bank for maintenance and has more than a V6. | |||

No manual?! Why? Autos kill any interest I have in a fun to drive car. It looks great too bad about the transmission. Just like with the new Supra the auto only bullshit removes any interest I have in owning such a vehicle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Exactly my sentiment. I'd have more fun driving a Honda Fit than an auto Corvette. I'll opt for the 2019 model over the stingray. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

I have a C5 and still love the looks, the C6 didn't do it for me, the C7 was OK, the C8 is a winner! For you stick shift fans, rumor has it that the Z06 and a later version, the Zora, will be available in stick, 800 and 1000 HP! _  _______________________________"Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

Nowhere near as fun to drive as a manual, and I own a paddle shift car. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

I'd say 95% of the people who will buy this car will never have it on a race track or properly race it, so really, who cares if it's a few tenths of a second or even seconds faster than a manual? I want to feel the car and enjoy the experience of driving it, like up a curvy mountain pass. Where's the fun when the car does everything for you? ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

^^^ what he said. I’m very disappointed in Chevy for leaving off the manual. The future of sports cars looks pretty depressing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||
