2025 Initial Pricing

ScottyR said:

Congrats on the new car!! I cant really figure out all the hate on the E-Ray other than the price?

Dealers who have 24s in stock will be discounting them heavily and holding tight on 25s to make the 24s more attractive.

I get where you are coming from. I am the biggest laydown when it comes to something I really want to buy. I just buy it and enjoy using it. If I dont really want to buy (eg. washing machine) it then I search all over for the best deal.

Don’t worry, there are no discounts on custom orders of 2025 E-Ray.

Gilles is not wrong here as my dealer has offered $5k off on a 25 Stingray order and it would be more if I wanted an E-Ray or Z06. Its worth shopping around at the moment or deal with Scott and his connections.

I've all but stopped trying to figure out why the E-Ray 'bashing' is so prevalent.
A lot of guys out there have developed an attitude reminiscent of a 'cult' when it comes to the Z06.
I guess it's easier to speak poorly about something other than the sacred Z06, than it is to consider an alternative.
You will never hear a logical argument - it's all about 'the noise'.
Funny thing is that a lot of these same guys don't have a Z06 or an E-Ray.
Take it (or not) from a guy that could have had either, I'm very happy with my choice.

As for the money, there is depreciation to take into account here as well - a 25 is always going to be worth more than a 24.
More important to me, however, is getting what I want.

M4 is not a competitor to a Corvette

In my opinion the corvette is still a very good deal for what it is. I've owned a few older Ferraris and a Lamborgnini Gallardo and the new vette is still cheaper than a 15 years old exotic. With as much or more power and comfort. GM dealers all over the place. And for the same price as a old exotic you're fully covered for 3 years and 5 on powertrain with roadside assistance. You will also absorb much less depreciation compared to a NEW exotic. Pretty sure also more reliable and cheaper to maintain.
I had a hard time taking my decision to go to a new vette instead to another used exotic and I opted for the peace of mind. I looked at the new Lotus Emira which was not much more for a NEW car but the Corvette had more to offer in my opinion.

For sure the C8 is incredible value for the $90 to $120 price point. Other than the Lotus Emira, I cant think of another car other than used R8s or very early 04-08 Gallardos that even compare.

Just curious. Have I been detecting a Z-06 envy theme in these “ noise “ posts …. Good hearing aids are pretty reasonable in price these days, lol .

The old exotics still get a pop/wow factor compared to a new corvette that is like common traffic. More people get exited for a R8, Gallardo, F430 then seeing a Corvette.

Although these may not be direct competitors about there alot in the 90-120K market used/new. Dodge Hellcat/Viper, Mercedes AMG GT/SL, BMW M8/M4, Lexus RC/LC, Ferrari California/F430, Lambo Gallardo, Audi R8, Maserati Gran Turismo, Lotus Emira, Porsche 911/Boxter/718, Aston Marton, etc. Plus you will say way way more less of these vehicles on the road compared to a Corvette.

Fully loaded Z06 can nearly compete with Lambo Hurcan, Mclaren 650/GT, Ferrari Portofino/Roma/458. I know of a bunch of guys that cancelled there 24 Z06's after the price increase and luxury tax. They said they would never spend over 200k for a Chevy.

Why not when people are shopping vehicles they look at what they can buy around the same price range. M4 is almost identical to C8 pricing and a faster vehicle.
