that's kind of a ridiculous complaint. vettes start at 60K and are NA.
First year pricing for new models is always the most aggressive, but I really wouldn't be surprised to see large incremental year over year pricing bumps with different equipment bundling to keep things in-line with inflation. Good guess is anywhere between current pricing and what I listed earlier.
I expect that you are correct. My desire for something new hasn't kept up with inflation. Way too much money - poor value IMO.
Agreed. Honestly been eyeing GR86s for the past six months and would still pull the trigger on one if I could find the exact color and spec I wanted at MSRP.
I love mine. The gray color is meh and I would have chosen different options, but the car is great in my opinion. It's the closest I've owned to a replacement of my old 944.
True, but the Hellcat and Camaro platforms will be around 10 years old pretty soon. The Camaro visibility issue will still remain and the interior is already starting to feel dated. The Hellcat will still be the heavy muscle car with lackluster handling. The biggest issue will be that these relatively expensive supercharged muscle cars will be running out of warranty coverage. Don't get me wrong they are great cars but spending $60-$80k for used examples may not be be a bit much. Then you have to consider how folks will react to the upcoming EV. I realize most will not want to give up the drama associated with driving a V8 but once they start releasing the performance specs of these upcoming EVs you may see a certain percentage chase the stats vs. the driving experience.
I'm ok with the interiors, though I will say having the "latest" in a new Dark Horse would be pretty cool. I am "older", 52, but I'm an EE so I do love tech. I'm neutral on the dash. I like digital dashboards a lot, but agree that it could have been integrated much more cleanly. I had that "tacked on" look for the screen in my Audi and, 'meh'. The interior of the Camaro... I do agree with, it is... functional. Dodge's UConnect stood out to me, too. Great UX. The seats in the Camaro however, are really pretty good (non Recaro), which I found shocking because they have no lumbar adjustment, and I have a bad back (USN days). But nope, I drove to KY and SC a couple times (from NH/MA border) and it was as comfy as my Audi A7. The C7's were the tightest, and the Dodge's were the loosest, but I've read they get better as they break in.
) I understand wanting the "best". My "next" car would be driven as a spirited GT car, think on/off-ramps and backroads, and will never see the track. So if it can only pull 0.95g vs. 1.05g in the 'best thing', tbh, I don't care.
Corvettes are all aluminum bodies, two seaters and mid engine for 60k. Mustang is steel body 4 seater front engine with a poor weight balance. If you aren't a manual transmission person or really tall, the reasons to choose a 60K Mustang over the Corvette are few. But I'm guessing the Corvette's price is going to shoot up as well.
corvette lacks 2 seats and a stick. different market segment.
I don't like the sound of that!
ZL1 rear set is even more worthless the one in the S550. You want a 2016 SS (proper 4 door) or a Caddy V-series Blackwing.
Tremec TR6060 same as Chevy. The linkage however is a bit floppy'er than it should be.
Yeah Camaro "back" seats are a poor shelf. Just get a delete kit and at least get some proper storage space out of it.
Thanks, and 100% agree. Although I hear a Barton makes it's great. I put a MGW shifter in my C7 and it kind of ruined my expectations of all major mfg manual shifters, it was just that good. They are all sub-par out of the gate. I was gutted when MGW gave up trying to make one for the gen6 Camaros.
