Here's the new Fiero wanna-be...
The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

There was a big hour-long debut video last night for the C8. Here's a replay...

This morning, I was reading about a "special" feature that disengages the transmission.  Sounds like neutral.  Not sure what advantage a second neutral offers.

Watched the Jay Leno clip with the C8.  Of course, the video ends as soon as he starts to drive the Corvette.

What comes standard in the C8.

Not a fan of those interior colors, or all the infotainment stuff, but everything else looks good.  Just waiting for an opportunity to take one for a spin.

Too bad they did away with the option sheet where you could order or delete options as you wanted.
1985 2M6 SE, 1986 GT x 2.

Whew!  When I saw a post here, I thought maybe you got to test drive one first.

Yep, too bad,

If you want a new mid-engine American built car with a manual transmission, you'll have to buy one of these.

But the Saleen is built in China, and looks like some sort of nissan/mitsubi^%!) hybrid.

I just saw a car transport full of new Corvettes pass me on the highway.
