I resisted the urge to laugh. 

Ohm my god.  I’m POSITIVE this is a serious problem that will lead to NEGATIVE ownership experiences.

If you don’t want the dealer to add a premium, don’t insist on being the first in your neighborhood to have one.

GM will make money on the C8 in numbers. And with the supposed package they pulled off the numbers shouldn’t be a problem - even with shrinking sports car sales, this car kind of resets that based on it’s pricing.

I agree with #1, but can’t agree with #2.

Yeah, this crap gets so old. I don’t think Zora if he were alive today would be saying ‘give me a manual transmission so I can hobble the ultimate potential of the vehicle.”

This is not hard.  Go to any corvette forum, find the high volume dealers and order from one of them at MSRP.  Then it is just a matter of waiting 6 months for the build.  That won’t work if you want the very first one available from them, folks have had deposits down for over a year with the big dealers.  If you want…

If they learned anything from the C7 Z06 and ZR1, you cannot have too much cooling capacity.  I would bet that every orifice on the car (and probably a few extra) will have a heat exchanger situated in it.

Oh, man. So the closest thing to this in a Porsche is probably a 718GTS— only 414HP, mid-engine, BASE version. That’s $99 Grand— and try to find a “base” Porsche anywhere.

Yes, and they’ve managed to not screw it up with politics! It’s like the old jalopnik is back.

If David Tracy wrote an article headlined “I Blew Two Trannies This Weekend”, I’d click on it without trepidation and read it happily. Glad you’re writing about the first Corvette I actually care about, instead.

You’ve likely never owned a Corvette, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Buying none of a product entitles you to no input on the product. You sell to people who buy, it’s not complicated.

Somebody’s grumpy.  Pretty sure that’s what every generation does when they get old.  Most even before then.

You want health care, housing and an education? Get a Job. I didn’t go to college, have a nice house and a nice car and some toy cars to hobby on. If I can do it then so should everyone else. My 18 yr old daughter is off to college on mostly her dime. No she’s not going for an art’s major. She’s going for something…

I know you’re used to everything in life going the way you wanted, and not having that happen is a new experience for you, so I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

“Person has opinion” articles like the WSJ’s are the laziest form of journalism.

That’s what gets me about these Walter Mitty morons. They daydream these giant global conspiracies but at the same time think they can invade a damn military base with their pickup or whatever.

I think you have this one mixed up. This will be the Birkenstock Invasion. Rednecks in pickup trucks don’t give a shit about aliens. Our soldiers will put down their guns and simply slap the piss out of these idiots. I’m imagining what Comic-Con looks like, only with sweaty nerds in the desert. I guess you try to work…

The most recent nut job to attack a federal facility was an Antifa POS using incendiary devices and a rifle.
