Probably are an old fart just relays my previous post of corvette owners keeping their cars 10+ years or from one gen to another so why would they care for resale and depreciation. The excuse “I’ll never be selling” hahaha
Thin ice…… recommend reading.
 
Thin ice……
Goes twos ways…..if your not wanting a forum of open discussion and opposing opinions that’s on you. Keep it then to a bunch of forum members supporting and validating others. Grown men here at the end of the day banter is expected. People here acting like they got emotional damage and there feelings hurt cause one person provides a non bias alternative perspective on C8. Move on don’t like what someone is it’s not the end of the world.
 
@C82NV why are you here? What are you trying to achieve? If you sold both of your corvettes, why frequent the forum?

It seems that you feel that the C8 corvette somehow wrong you. Maybe you lost some $ on resale?

Why would you tell corvette owners to go to other car forums or facebook groups? We like what we have, most are not shopping for other fun cars, and live in the real world not on the internet

Jack, what have you done now?
You've upset this poor guy to the point he is having trouble putting sentences together properly.
Must be my old age kicking in....

I’m active on a bunch of forums regardless if I still own the car or sold it. At the end of the day I’m not loyal to a brand of car I am car enthusiast who likes to try different vehicles. I don’t frequent the forum my post count is not the request nor am I really that active.

I didn’t say for anyone to go to other car forums or Facebook groups. I said the Corvette Facebooks have a larger audience and reach than forums these days so you see way more feedback and opinions than a smaller localized forum like this. People saying there no complaints about the C8 is just a stupid remark or people in denial. Every car has problems that exist no need to be so narrow minded and certain problems that are more known. Something wrong in members giving different opinion, vehicle or perhaps there take on a car that’s not saying its awesome? You want everyone on here just supporting one another and affirming they own the best car and made the best purchase decision. What’s the point of that? It’s not a forum then it’s just a cult. Their pros and cons to every vehicle.

You do realize this thread topic was about 2026 price increases right? Were you not expecting people to talk about alternatives vehicles?
 
One of the most important measurement of performance in the real world use of a car is 5-60mph times. C8 does it in 3.5 and M4 does it in 4.4 and base 911 does it in 4.2.

C8 also looks 100 times better but I am biased because I have bought it twice… so far
Is the only alternative to the Stingray a M4 that it has to be brought up multiples times in this thread haha. Are people that upset and hurt about the M4?

I’m not a technical guy I look at real world results that’s like when people say a Z06 does 0-60 in 2.6 in the real world hard to achieve. FYI the M4 Comp does 2.8 and a simple search on YouTube would show it beats a Stingray in a drag race. Boxter GTS 0-60 is 3.8 and it also beats a Stingray in a drag race. Move the thread along. People don’t want to hear about alternatives or what’s faster……. Let’s talk about why 2026 prices increases are irrelevant and why people should only focus on the pros not cons of Corvettes……Keep everyone happy! There may not be people lurking on the forums who don’t own a Corvette or were looking into a Corvettes that maybe wanted to see both ends of the spectrum or opposing views.
 
If an M4 fell out of the sky onto my driveway I would sell it tomorrow. 🤮🤮🤮
I can’t take it anymore!! The frigging price increase is $2500 CDN but I’m not supposed to mention it! Would someone please lock this thread before I kill myself!!

Cool and there people saying the same thing about choosing a Z06 over a SVJ lol. People are stuck in there ways….

$12,000 increase didn’t really stop anyone from buying the 2024’s but most of it was offset by $10,000+ dealer discounts. The same thing will happen with 2026 a person would really be nuts to pay MSRP for any Corvette now, but hey people who love the car will pay sticker. I am even surprised that people are buying some 2025’s currently when we are just a few months away from 2026 and almost near the end of the season.
