I have not been this excited about a Corvette since I was 9 and seen my first 1968 C3 in 1969 on the Queensway Highway in Arnprior Ontario with my Dad when I was 9. Rick thank you for doing what you do for all the Corvette Fans World Wide. Congrats to @Chevrolet Design and Engineering Teams and the Management that made this happen. Rick thank you again and again and I can't wait to buy a car from you

tremendous compilation of the information and facts regarding the C8. watched the whole unveiling (stayed up all night for it since I am located in germany). still am in shock and awe and totally blown away and amazed by the new Corvette. we need to mark that date, as it will definitely go down in history, truly a milestone moment for the American automotive industry, and engineering and for all performance car enthusiasts worldwide. bravo Corvette and congratulations America ! big time win !

OMG, OMG OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING. What’s not to love about our new Corvette. To all, I bought my first new Corvette in 1977, black oyster interior. FYI , I was 17 and just finished high school. I was able to drive it off the transporter at my dealership in Mason City Iowa. I absolutely love the C8. I will be ordering the basic with only 2 options. 1 is the front lift, 2 is the Z51 package. Should be in the mid to low 60K range. I don’t want the rear spoiler. My color choice is still undecided. Thinking between 3 colors - white / silver with red interior or Bronze with the tan interior. With the Z51 package 0-60 less then 3 seconds ( WOW ) ENOUGH FOR ME. The engineering is incredible. Why anyone would spend so many $$$$$$ for a Ferrari / Lamborghini when you can buy this at 60K, just my opinion all. Why spend 100’s of thousands for a car that goes 1 second faster, maybe, lmao. GM nailed this . Talk with you soon Rick

Rick this informational video you put together for us is awesome 😎 it highlights many things that the reveal didn’t quite get across. I love ❤️ the new C8!!! The Z51 package is very tempting I have to admit and I already know how I will spec it! Rapid blue, kalahari interior, blue seat belts, glass roof panel, blue stitching if available, blue paddle shifters if available, chrome rims with blue brake calipers if available. Competition seats a must! However I’m going to wait for the Zo6 version 😍 it will be parked right next to my carbon 65 🤠 saving up for a hefty down payment 😃 GM is killing it right now!!! This new vette will sell like crazy!!! The European exotics have nothing on this new corvette, for 1/3 their price!!! 2020 will see a bonanza in sales for the C8! The future never seemed brighter for GM. Hail the new C8 Corvette! 😍😍😍🤠🤠🤠

I'm surprised and relieved at the high level of buzz surrounding this car since GM raised the veil off its design. I felt an immediate sense of reverence and then pride. A close friend who is well into his retirement years, told me he is committed to selling his fairly new daily driver and an expensive old restored car, to get in line for this new Corvette. It's evident that GM designers worked very hard and stayed close to the car's original design themes. Frankly, I think it's a beautiful and unique vehicle that will send some furor throughout the auto world and may compel some buyers to consider this wonderful American, mid-engine design over perhaps a more expensive domestic or import. The C7 in all it's bold configurations, is also an alluring design and I'll still walk up and look one over in a parking lot. That car is "Matchbox" cool. The C8 however, takes the Corvette to the next level in performance - if possible, and assuredly in design. I can't wait to see one up close. To all those who were involved in the C8's development, your sweat equity is a truly a phenomenal accomplishment. 🏁🇺🇸
