    it'll probably be a Cadillac like has been said over a year ago. especially with Cadillac changing around the lineup and they will be changing it up in 2020 I think (read something somewhere)

    it would be more logical to bring it under Cadillac than Chevy imho

    Its not a great time for a guy like me, been dreaming of fast cars since I was old enough to dream, all I can seem to get is a cam for my antique Lt1 while people that dont even know how to drive are buying 700+HP cars off the show room.......

    More power to them I guess, maybe I should just give up and go get a payment! lol

    Dont sweat it man. I could go and buy something new with those numbers, but in the end they are just like every other one being sold.

    I love my 90s underdogs, and no payments... lol.

    But there is a lot more old guys that just buy the basic variants and don't do any performance mods. You are in the minority that would like to mod the car to its max. On a car forum that seems normal, but real life it's pretty rare in comparison. Especially so when you get to parts of the country that don't have a big street racing scene like in the big southern cities

    I disagree... im saying heavily modified base cars that would be in comparison to stock top of the line cars... ie demons, zo6s, etc.

    He'll, I don't think I have ever even seen more than 1 or 2 c6's let alone a c7 with an aftermarket set of rims driving around here. And I'm on the road a lot.

    Your saying that's what most people actually do with their base models?

    That's something that I would probably do (modify a base into zr1/zo6 performance range). But thats definetely not something that most guys are doing. The internet makes it seem like there is a lot more modded up cars than stock ones but most will never get past basic bolt ons in reality.

    Right, but the other guy was saying that having a base model that is over 100k would kill off probably the largest buyer segment of the corvette. You sounded like you were disagreeing by saying everyone mods their cars heavy anyways. That's were I was disagreeing.
