Also, would be kind of stupid to buy a CF model and mod it.
So... the hunt continues. I am looking for White, Grey, or Silver premium.

After sleeping on it, I agree. My reasoning yesterday was with all the markups, the CF isn't that much more than the Premiums. However, even at MSRP, with tax, we are talking about a $70k Supra. Which is a lot for a car I literally stated earlier should be more like a $45-50k car.
C8 doesn't have the modding headroom of a Supra, but it comes with more power (with full warranty) and bigger tires from the factory. I also prefer that DCT over the 8-speed auto in the Supra (yes, I know it's good, but DCT still wins in my book).

Base C8 Corvette has a lower MSRP than the CF Supra.

There are apparently a few Chevy dealers left who will play ball at MSRP, but finding any popular car at MSRP is probably going to be difficult for a while.
I didn't like the C8 look at first but they grew on me in person. The C8 Z06 looks even better, IMO, but that won't be cheap.

That LT6 looks pretty sweet on paper.

I dont like the C8s. Seen many in person in all different colors. I think silver looks the best but still not great. Like Kaj, I cant get over the rear.... They dont seem to be good at auto-x either but I know thats not what they were designed for.

Seems they need a bit of work for dry autox, but in the wet my buddies was absurdly good.
I both like/dislike the C8. But If I was getting a corvette Id still rather have a C6 z06 or GS and mods.
The supra is just proving to be really good though. Responds so well to mods.
