That's what they said in the presentation. Base price with no options of course. Still means a quicker car than the F-type R or SVR and that is the BASE Stingray. The 'super version' in the fall/spring should be amazing.
The coolest tech feature is the auto front lift based on up to 1000 GPS coordinate points. Press Lift, then press Lift again to save it - then it lifts automatically, say for a speed bump or your driveway. Pretty slick.

Exciting. I'm sure it'll be a blast. Sub 3 to 60 in the base model... geez.
I really (really) like the C7. Looks, performance, overall concept... easily my #2 after F-Type. While the F is undeniably "beautiful", the C7 is the closest to my inner 12-year old's conception of "cool" or "rad" that any car gets. And of course I love the fact that it comes with a 7 speed mt.
The C8 looks cool too... doesn't grab me the same way though. Maybe it's because the mid engine layout inevitably leads to a less phallic design lol. Shame there's no stick option.

Correct - I could have sworn he said $50k but it is $60k. https://www.youtube.com/user/Chevrolet/videos

Unfortunately, the call to use e-diff over proper Torsen is cringe-worthy. More things to overheat and stop working.

Personally I would never consider purchasing the FIRST year release of such a radically changed design. Too many issues and GM is not known for 'perfection' lol. Plus the higher performance $100k+ models are sure to follow soon.
If they are 95% as fast as a Huracan or dare I say McClaren 720s for $100k-$125k they will sell like hotcakes. The base RWD model being quicker than an awd SVR for that price is very respectable, as in less than 50% the price. A performance bargain for sure.
All in all I believe they did great and wish them well with the new Vette. I love my F-Type as much as when I got it two years ago. If my buddy still owned a Chevy dealership I would be tempted, I won't lie.

Guys who like that cartoon M.A.S.K. will love this. And I kid.
Good on them. This Stingray thing is going to sell a lot of cars.
It's releasing prior to tax day, in hopes those returns burn a hole in the pocket. LOL

This car is awesome for the price. Insanely awesome. For those that hate the antiseptic drabness of electric, to get a sub 3 second sexy as hell targa for well under $100k?? And to have a piece of good ol' Americana at that? This is a home run.
