Another C8 falls off a lift.

If they repair and sell it - Does the dealer still mark it up???

Yes, and more so than usual for the “custom” paint job.

1 of 1 paint job plack under the hood

Dealers are to blame for hiring these 6 month old trained techs. They phased out their master techs who were experts at their jobs, and brought in these youngsters who don't even know how to put on wheels right. Oh well, it's a good thing I wrench on my cars myself.

Well at least the backend will look less like a Camaro now..?

Never thought I'd see a Vette with a TTV8

It's gonna be a bad mafaka. Twin turbo FPC, active aero. Boomers are going to freak when they learn you lose the frunk due to the additional heat exchangers.

It’ll be back and “all new” with some sort of stupid name that combines Camaro with a word that means electric.

Exactly, like Ford did with the "Lightning" and "Mach-E." Best thing to do (honestly) is find a good condition used ICE car (specialty car) and work on restoring it to like new or build it up. Plenty of Camaro's, Mustang's, Challenger's, Corvette's, etc... that are in excellent condition that can be turned into absolute beasts for decent money. That should hold people up until the storm settles.

Maybe Chevy's just going to concentrate solely on the C8? Especially with the E-Ray and future ZR1/Zora variants.

Speaking of Camaro...

Also, the C8 isn't that expensive for what it is. It's Chevy dealers' ADM that inflates that bubble. However, the constant production halts aren't helping.

What puzzles me is how many Stingrays I see daily sitting at various new and used dealer lots here in Dallas. Only see one Supra at a used lot every blue moon though.

They have made well over 100,000 c8 so far

Good for parts, bad for exclusivity. But they must’ve done something right to sell that many. Wow

Definitely bad for exclusivity. I see WAY more C8's at the local car meets/shows here than Supra's.
