I'm good with the E-Ray. It seems like a smart implementation to push the performance envelop. This isn't for fuel economy, although it won't hurt.

I'm also not entirely opposed to a full BEV Corvette along side the ICE offerings. We'll see what folks buy.

I have a base C8 and the base car has plenty, don't overlook them. I have 5k miles on it and it just gets better as you finally learn and feel everything the car does so well. The responsive LT2 with the unbelievable DCT trans is intoxicating.

If GM would make a Camaro 2SS or ZL1 as a Gas hybrid I think lots would buy it instead of a all out EV ... I would sell my 2SS and get one ...... cars like these Hybrids at this price range is not a Car for everyone you have to have Disposable income ..... thats why most buy SUV's they are alot cheaper.... I DO LIKE THE NEW BLUE ON THE E-RAY CORVETTE ... SHOWS 3 NEW COLOURS AT END OF THE VIDEO

I'm all for it, honestly. The Z06 is pretty cool but, I don't think I'd buy one if given a choice between that and an equally priced E-Ray. But, that shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone who has seen me post on here. I'm all for AWD and hybridization over any RWD setup.

Also, I think this car is a hell of a bargain at it's price point. Which is all relative, of course. It's pretty inexpensive for what you get and should be a great seller. I don't think I'll buy one this year or even the year after. I'll wait until I see them get put through their paces by magazines, YouTube channels, races, etc., etc. So long as the platform proves to be solid, there will be one in my stable--although I think I'd have to get the 3LZ with the ZER performance package.

No, you aren't

I really do like the E-Ray, but I'll never be able to afford it short of winning the lottery.

Don’t sell yourself short. I would have said that when I was young.

Phew ok thanks for that!
I was hoping I wasn't just being a grumpy guy thinking she is highly irritating for no reason.

Cheers!

Ya... I've been looking at all the ones that come up locally. Seems you can't touch one for under $90k used..!

At least they didn't take the Ford route and turn it into a bloated hunk of plastic.

Yeah, even the C7s are still going for a lot of money.
