@samchu5890 4 жыл бұрын

That's the base price without options and tax. If you add options and tax. It becomes over somewhere around $100,000. For a car not going to out run a Nissan GTR, Ferrari 458, Acura NSX and Audi R8. Why not just buy a GTR or NSX. It's more reliable than Chevy.

Why would you purchase a base C8 for $60,000 just to say you own one. Lift kit is required unless you want to drag every speed bump. the performance Z51 package, electronics package and I could fill this comment with accessories most owners will want. So most LT2 & LT3 C8'S are prices in the $80,000 to $100,000 price range. Plus title, tags and transportation. Then some dealers are also adding on $5000 dealer markup. I'm surprised you found a Base C8.

@SuperSilvi1990 4 жыл бұрын

@@DWH300 some good reasons for the cheap one are I'm going to put a suspension kit on mine so the mag ride would be a waste, hopefully the ecu gets cracked because I'm going to cam mine just like my other cars. I'm changing the exhaust asap so I dont need the two mode exhaust. And I dont like the stock wings so hopefully the aftermarket wings will be out by then.

@GaranComfort 4 жыл бұрын

@@DWH300 that's like saying there's no reason for jeep dealerships to stock base model sports when rubicons are available. People love to customize their own cars from a blank slate and not having to pay the premium right off the bat for features they won't need doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I will say that for Corvettes it is less common than with Jeep's, however, the same principle applies.

I think the 1LT is the best version currently to buy if you want to track the car. It's lighter and has less extra electronics not geared to driving than the others. Slap the Z51 package on which gives you brakes and oil and tighter gearing, all you need do is add in your own track ready suspension system and better rubber all around and you can go to town on race tracks.
