Well yea, I am curious in a LT2, Z51 packaged one. I heard something about standard NO SEASON tires on the base car and some tiny ass tires. :bs:

Brakes also seem pretty :flaccid: 12.6 up front and 13.3 rear. Is there a reason the fronts are smaller?

Maybe they made the rear larger to help dissipate heat since much of the air to the rear of the car is designated to other things now.

Nope.

My friend did text me and say if I wanted one he was still going to submit orders through Boardwalk as they got the most allocations and he quit working again, but they will let him broker the sales. Said all orders from previous customers would be at MSRP, and that they plan on marking up any cars that might hit the lot.

:shocker:

Well they can choke on that business practice.
I have 0 interest in getting a fubared first model year anyways. But it would be nice to know what the msrp is so that I can figure out if I actually want it.

Yep.

MSRP will be between <$60k - >$100K

Some of the reviewers I saw were saying they expect a 2LT Z51 to run up to about $77K, or about $5k more than the max of a 2LT Z51 in 2014. It's all guessing for now, but I think that's probably pretty accurate.

:popcorn: so I’ll just treat this as such for now. I want a 2021 MY anyway.

That pricing seems reasonable still considering the level of equipment and performance. I've got to say the more real like video I see if the car it's growing on me, but the rear will likely take a while.

I had to watch on mute but I thought it looked nice in this guy's video. Elkhart lake blue with yellow calipers. :nice:

How tall are you? From what I've seen headroom might not be all that great.

Yep... this is unprecedented. Unlike the pos Supra joke

Supposedly the guy in the driver's seat is around that height and he looks to be pursuing it.

TBH, it is growing on me too, except the rear still makes me a bit sick, and the button stack on the console isn't good. So many guys that have sat in them said they jam their elbows on the bulkhead/phone charger when reaching for the lower buttons.

The expression on the old guy looking at the tail lights and vents sums up my feelings quite accurately.


That car is making the rounds to all the dealers. By the time it's done it will have 500 miles but 5M farts.
