You’ve lost me- how are you making money? Are you reselling?
Well I initially put the deposit down on this car to buy but I have mind set on a Ferrari 488. Something in that range. However, I am also very high on a list at a big Chevy dealer so I will have the chance to buy this car. I might buy this car, drive it around here and there and sell it. I am sure this will be marked up when it comes out

Be aware that you'll likely be blacklisted if you flip it within 12 months. No more new GM products.

Yeah, I am aware of that. I might just keep it as my daily. I have not decided yet. I am just saying that if I do decide to sell it, I am sure this is going to go for +20-30% above MSPRP
Cross shopping a Corvette and a Ferrari! Bet GM didn’t see that coming! There’s probably a $200K or more price difference
Haha yea, a good used 488 is going to run around 350. It is one of my dream cars so it is a completely different sentiment for me.
 
Yeah I have a feeling demand for the E-Ray will outstrip the Z06 considering how close they are in price. It boils down to:

-would you rather the sound of the flat plane crank V8 and track your car
or
-do you want the quickest factory Corvette ever made with cool technology, hard launches and AWD.

I feel 90% of us want the E-Ray.

objectively E-ray is better, but subjectively the sound of a high revving flat plane crank engine is intoxicating. Now if I was picking a daily driver I would pick the objective choice, but for a fun toy I must listen to my heart not my brain
 
Yeah E-Ray will be quicker for the first few passes. The Z06 will be fast all day long. Like the Tesla Plaid........kills everyone for 3 passes then it sits the rest of the day on the side watching.........just my thought.

I am a numbers nerd, so here are some numbers that show where C8 E-Ray, C8 Z06, C8 Z51 and C7 Z06 stack up in the list of the fastest accelerating internal combustion engine cars. So far i dont know of any car that does 2.9 sec 5-60mph. Can the E-Ray be the 1st one?

I think your numbers are backwards. 0-60 times must be longer than 5-60, unless you have a time machine.
No, 0-60 is almost always quicker and in some rare cases almost the same in cars with poor traction. 0-60 relies on launch control, but 5-60 shows you the true power of the car with launch control eliminated
