"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

They should have used the ERay - Chevy has been promising the E-Ray will be the quickest factory-built Corvette ever 0-60 2.5 seconds, clipping the mighty Z06 by a tenth of a second to 60 mph and through the quarter mile. The Ford GT will do 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds.

Depending on whose test the Ford GT may have a .2 second advantage in the 1/4.

good lawd not this topic again.....the $600k + car vs the $100 - $150k car

And the $600k car barely edging the disposable plastic car by 1 to 2 tenths

My money is still on the C8

I'd still rather the Ford GT. The look of it is pure art on wheels. All of its iterations. Have a great warm and safe New Year!

Ugly is the new beautiful. The GM price is just to piss off Ford.

I think that it wouldn't be difficult for GM to show that they are "loosing money" on every Corvette sold?

In design a cornerstone is "form follows function". If that is so exactly what should a bordello look like?

Ford choose exclusivity. That riff goes way back to beyond even Ferrari.

If you have to vote with your dollars, it's already a fix.
