philpom 7,494 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 11 months ago my 87 year old neighbor ordered a 2020 Vette. This weekend it finally showed up. It looks amazing in person, it already looked great online but man, wonder in person. He is a bit of a car nut and already has a '63, '72, '84 and '14 Vette along with 2 Deloreans. For anyone unaware C8 designates the 8th redesign of the Corvette. The 2020 Vettes are the most anticipated new car, maybe ever. It's the first ever mid engine Vette and boasts 495 hp in the base model and does 0-60 in less than 3 seconds. Imagine the Z06 or ZR1. It's a super car for $65k. I am a Corvette fan and just wanted to share in the event there are others here. CentralTexBBQ, Rob_grill_apprentice, lnarngr and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JeffieBoy 872 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 We saw one in the flesh in Mississauga a few weeks ago. My neck is still sore because my head snapped around to look so hard! Absolutely gorgeous! Tell your neighbour he made a great choice. philpom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daninpd 2,087 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Compliment your neighbor on his exterior and interior color choices. That's a beautiful car. philpom 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gotzero 1,004 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Awesome! My neighbor recently finished a second building for his Corvette collection. He is refusing to say which C8 is on order, but I cannot wait to see the monster that arrives. My oldest asked me once why we did not have cool cars like that and I was tempted to reply, "you!". It will be a long while, but I imagine I will own a C8 at some point. It checks too many boxes for the long dormant gearhead in me. In the meantime, our supercar remains our minivan. daninpd, TKOBBQ, K_sqrd and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TKOBBQ 5,800 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Great looking car and really digging the color combination. We saw this car when picking up my FILs tags for his truck. philpom and ckreef 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philpom 7,494 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 That is bright! It's a wrap, wonder what color it really is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
