Watch The C8 Corvette Livestream Right Here!

It's beautiful, can't wait to see one in person and see its Nurburgring lap time

I like it a lot. Overall I'm impressed. Off to the website to see if they have a configurator. Need to see how white looks with a blue leather GT2 seat.

Nice mid engine Camaro.. where’s the t-tops?

the use of augmented reality is kinda hilarious.. 

They sorta did this (well, for final effect) with the C7 reveal. They left the cover on at first and projected graphics on to the car. Honestly, I prefer that, not just because I'm old.

That’s a hell of a package for the money. Please please let this make the C7 depreciate faster!

JG,

Thanks for running commentary. Almost like being there?

Say, what is the buiding, an old dirigible hanger???

Again, thx, & I (we all) look forward to your article on the new Beast.

it is an old blip base 

Under 60K? Man, I may need to rethink getting a used SS next year..

From the front and sides, I dig it. From the back, not so much.

Yeah, can confirm. Front 3/4 is fire. Rear 3/4 is fyrefest. 

this is literally my favorite quote about it.. and it's so true.. 

Hurry up and start totaling them so we can have mid-engine V8 drivetrains for stuff like GT40s... (Sacrilege, sure, but I can't argue with a mid-V8 package that stout all at once...)

EDIT: I feel compelled to note that my enthusiasm for harvesting wrecks isn't based in disdain for the car.

so now we know what all the buttons are.. 

 

Chevy has a bunch of vids on their YouTube channel:

In reply to spacecadet :

What's the white thing between the screen and the cupholders? A mouse?

JG is livestreaming on FB FYI guys 

Note going to bash GM like I normally do. That is good looking.

Make mine White with Red leather and a Z51 package as it sits. Not willing to guinea pig a first year release but after that and if they make a Z06 version I would would consider replacing the ACR with this. If they go whole hog twin turbo and keep it under 110K that will be my next new car.

holy crap the rear hatch is HUUUUGE

C8R details are already coming out

guy next to him "it's so claustrophobic on the passenger side" 

JG: "Corvette People have no friends!" 

I like it and am real surprised it’s under 60k.  That’s an amazing amount of car for the money.

Exterior ok. Interior is awful. I think I'll be keeping my 991 for a long time. 

I like the cupholders. I think that's the extent of what I like in the cockpit. Not that I'm surprised, I am not Corvette People.

rear spring seats have 20mm of adjustment, so it will be semi cornerbalance capable from the factory! 

holy crap the convertible looks amazing

Driver seat is great. Wheel is better in person than in pictures. Headroom is better than C5, C6 or C7. 

Passenger side is pretty cramped. Feels very far away from the driver. Whole interior is very driver centric.
