Complaining about this is the same as NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio complaining about $30 pizza pies on New Year's Eve.  Supply and Demand!

Just like the 350R it only took a short while before peeps could get them at sticker.
The Corvette is lame.
Does it come with Leppard print underwear?

this has to be a joke,  did you see who wrote this article?

cameron vanderhorst....we met his twin brother, camaro vanderhost ....

amassed an impressive and diverse collection of vehicles comprised of a mustang II, 1996 cobra....

In addition to writing about cars and wrenching on them in his spare time, he enjoys playing music (drums and ukulele), building model cars, and tending to his chickens.

This sucker, I mean gentleman is definitely a candidate for the new GT500 and the $30 pizzas...

ROFLMAO !!!

The 350R is a real track beast that can also function as grocery getter without looking rediculous,...ie like the vette.
BTW,....I like Chevrolet vehicles as I own Kiwis 71 pickup, a 67 RS/SS convertible, a 55 Bel Air ,...and an LS6 Chevelle (3 owner car).
And I'm no Corvette hater.

Enough said.
Enjoy the weather.

There will always be something newer and faster.

However, shifting a flat plane crank VooDoo at 8,000+ RPM will never be obsolete or stale, quite the opposite IMO...

A few I have talked to on FB on my Gt350 page have said they or their relatives  have ordered new 2020 Vettes for sticker. 50-75K over sticker on a GT500? Well while I would never buy one even at sticker the MSRP on a GT500 is just that; Man SUGGESTED retail price. They can sell over or under as the market determines. People get all bent out of shape on that and I do not know why. Gary

Well Biggie is a true blue Ford guy wearing blue tinted glasses. I don't even bother with a response. As a longtime GM employee the Vette shows how to do a world class sports/supercar for the masses. Ford never could. But the 900HP twin turbo ZR-1 sure isn't going to be lame and I'm betting the price would be in the ballpark of what Ford buyers paid 15 YEARS ago for a Ford GT. Want to know what LAME is? That since 1957 Ford has never come out with a car to compete in the Vette's class. Figure out why that is and let me know.  :) Gary

I hope you have a vette on order and enjoy plastic machine that will take forever to appreciate if it does at all.  The Vette will be short lived.  The Mustang damn nears outsells Corvette and Camaro combined.  Let's see GM make something that will compete against the GT.
