I will get mine at MSRP, or maybe even lower, as it I will be in the market for a 2024. Plan on enjoying my 2021 for 3 years...till the last day of the warranty, and then I'll get the Z06.

No worries, I already have that covered with my '08Z. I can't hook up until half way through 3rd.

Not being able to put the power down is not bragging rights.

Oh cmon you know its a blast when you put your foot down in 4th and have to immediately pull back on the throttle as the car wags its tail going down the highway at a 100 just hoping to stay pointed forward.

I also noticed this thing isnt even barking 3rd. Btw is that how the dct shifts? Those shifts sound kinda soft to me.

High speed drifting is great for passing. Absolutely Fun. Hold the door

Can TC even be turned off while using launch control? Heck if I know.

TC has to be turned off before using LC. Car is in track mode for LC

That’s the price for the electric model.

I just saw an interview with Richard Petty. He said he doesn’t see electric NASCAR vehicles within his lifetime. I hope I don’t see electric Corvettes in mine. The Tesla roadster was fun to drive but I still prefer to hear the sound of power.

I would kill myself in that damn Z06. I will leave the high performance to wiz.

Don't get me wrong. I like the Corvette, but all this is GM behind the times and some marketing hype. If they really wanted to be innovative they would roll out electro-magnetic valve trains or something.

Ford put in in the Mustang at half the price 5 yrs., ago and even in the 2.3 Ecoboost which was another half off the GT350 Mustang.

Wheelspin is detrimental to acceleration. The computer is only feeding the wheels as much juice as they can hold. Lurid smoke shows are fun but SLOW.
