I'm starting to like this color for my C8Z. Classy, yet still menacing for GM's first supercar.

But i vowed to be like speedphenom and get torch read with the yellow brake calipers! That really screams supercar!

Why do you keep emphasizing supercar in every single post? It’s a little cringey dude.

People are acting like this is the first flay plane crank ever put out. Lol. Chevy bought a Ferrari motor to get lots of info for how to do it. Congrats Chevy. Almost 50 years after Ferrari put theirs out, you have built
You own🙏🙏. Not sure it's a huge accomplishment. Of course it's going to be way cheaper.

It's all in good fun dude.

Why do people get offended by everything these days?

Also, it is GM's first supercar. I mean when one has their first child, they repeat it over and over they're going to be a parent.

Same thing here. GM's first supercar!

Glad to see General Motors making an effort to stop resellers from driving up costs and making obscene profits from their "chosen one" allocations.

This market has really gone bonkers and as is usually the case, we can only blame ourselves.

Don't worry, it won't last long with 7% interest rates.

Specifically referring to Warranty cancellations on people/dealers who try to resell within 12 months of original sale.

I personally know someone who bought a non-Z06 (in New York state) and immediately flipped it to Texas for a quick $25k profit. This was way back at the beginning of the pandemic before anyone know what was happening. Seems that GM caught on and is attempting to stop such behavior of rare models (Z06, Hummer EV and Escalade V-Series).

LOL they are not doing anything anywhere. Dealers are still doing ADM. So why is that ok but someone who paid for the car cannot make a buck if someone will pay?

Yet they are ok with dealers doing ADM. Double standard joke.

People paying over MSRP to "flippers" for a car don't care about a warranty anyway

They changed it to 6 months but I just meant that the flipping market won't exist for long with 7% interest rates. MSRP incoming once production ramps up, give it a few months. Lots of people are going to cancel their orders. Suddenly a $140-180k car purchase makes a lot less sense when the rest of the car market is drastically falling and interest rates keep rising. 458 and GT3 prices are down ~10-15% versus a few months ago, meanwhile Z06 prices haven't changed.

100%

However, I don't think any of us want to see a full blown recession

0-60 in 2.6 seconds is very impressive for a rear wheel drive car. The Z06 easily walks the gt3 in a straight line but would be very interesting to see how they fare on a lap

I suspect the Corvette will do mighty well and again, at it's MSRP I doubt there is another car in the world that will best it .........

people really underestimate how much of an advantage the cup2R gives over the standard cup2 on launch. between a 510hp GT3 and a 670hp Z06 the trap speed diff is only 2mph.

but can't fault GM for that. they chose a qualifying tire for max lap times, rather than something that can handle a wet track as well. The cup2r according to michelin is good for about -1.0 second for every mile of track compared to the cup2
