Love the GT500 but i will pay above sticker for any car. Decided to order a Corvette. The C8 I spec'ed out will have pretty much the same performance as the current Z06 and cost me less.
Here are the details:
Coupe 2LT
Blade silver
Full length dual racing stripe, carbon flash metallic
Black interior
Battery protection
Front and rear splash guards
Carbon flash painted mirrors
Performance exhaust
Edge red painted calipers
Museum delivery

We live 3 hours away from the Museum so it will be easy to grab a bus and make the trip up. Pick up the car and enjoy an easy drive home. My guess is the car will be finished in October.

I envy you owners of the GT500. Its an awesome car but with the current mark ups its out of my price range.
My friend that owns an Auto body shop ordered his C8 in Arctic White. He should have it about the same time I get my GT500 in the spring. We agreed after our breakin period we are exchanging keys for a weekend. So me and him get the best of both worlds :)

I’ll stick with MacMulkin or Kerbecks if I place an order. At 66 years old a few months means nothing to me :)
Not to be a dick (my friends always say when I say that I am a dick after), but being 28 a few months means nothing to me. At 66 I think it will mean a lot more since there is less time.

My outlook even now is, You only have so much time on this planet. I am going to do whatever I can to enjoy it. If paying a small ADM (under 5k) means I get to enjoy my life more for another year then it is worth it. Will I pay an ADM on a daily driver? No. Will I pay it for a fun car so that I can order it the exact way I want and not settle for something on a dealer lot? yes. Just to clarify I did pay a 2k ADM on my gt500.

What? Is there an echo in here?

Except that it doesn't but nice ride!

I did an NCM delivery, it was a ton of fun, they really roll out the red carpet :)

Holy shit though man, a bus? Rent a car, drop it off locally. We flew from FL, rented a car, and dropped it off like 15 minutes away from the NCM ... and drove home ~800 miles :) There's a ton of options close by:

Dude was in the market for a 500 and he came to the best mustang fan forum. He took his shot and moved on. He didn't know the market. He might wait 9 months to get his Vet and regret. I like that! That is one person off the market for a 500. I learned some things. Some might learn nothing. Wish him good luck. Live and let live.

The C8 is a great car, but it is significantly slower than a C7Z from a roll and not even in the ballpark if we're talking laptimes. Just want to be realistic here.

What “forum” dealers still have 2020 C8 allocations at MSRP? Kerbeck and MacMulkin told me they didn’t have any left.
You might try contacting Mike Furman. Last I knew he still had MSRP deals on C8's. He has plenty of 2019's he's discounting pretty good too.

~Dec 3rd, 2019 through January 2nd, 2020...-18% off of MSRP and then you get a $2,000 rebate on any new 2019 Corvette, Z51 or Grand Sport in stock.
-17% off of MSRP and then you get a $2,000 rebate on any new 2019 Z06 in stock.

I have 80 new 2019 Corvettes in stock. Must call Mike Furman @ Criswell Chevrolet of Gaithersburg, Maryland

Too funny! I was thinking the same thing - a bus!?!

Only reason for a three-hour bus ride is to molest or be be molested! (Maybe shoot up in the back . . . maybe)

I don’t think you can go wrong with either car - aside from not waiting out for a Z06. My plan when I got into looking for 500s was always to get a C8 Z06 a few years down the road. (Keeping both of course). I’m very specific on what colors I want though so it had to be a 2020 500 for me.

He could have read some of the posts that were stickied or have been on the front page for months now.... just sayin. We were actually really nice compared to any forum I've ever been on.

For sure. Corvette forum is the shittiest, most anti Corvette forum you'll find!
