The current Vettes always could be had with Black Friday sale prices all year long. Ok, see reviews so far. New C8 almost 200 lbs more than C7, takes 10 more feet to stop from 70mph than C7, is quieter, so much so that it detracts from the experience of driving a sports car, and the interior is awkward. Not to mention the ugly wheels and rear end. But it's "better in every way" To stay on topic: There's a reason there will be ADM's on new GT500's. Demand. Because it will be quality built engineered to perform musclecar. I concur. If there are Corvette dealers with ADMs it's because they are greedy, and think people are stupid, and don't have enough volume to get cars at will. GM will make as many of these as they can sell. They always have. Noone ever bought a Corvette thinking they could stash it in the garage and make a fortune, unlike some early GT500 buyers. Moving the engine to the back side is not going to double demand for the car and cause a short supply, and in fact, many old time died-in-the-wool Corvette fans will be turned off by it. This is a simple matter of managing Total Available Market. In a commodity market, TAM can neither be created nor destroyed, only shuffled. You don't see whole bunches of Ferrari owners jumping ship to move to the Corvette do you? But I suppose there are a few Corvette fans that will continue to live on in their own little fantasy world thinking somehow volume will double and there won't be enough to go around. Unlike GT500s. However, that supply/demand issue is created by Ford and the volume of the GT500 could be increased easily. It's just another set of switches that drive the assembly line. Ford creates this ADM by controlling volume (if you search, you will find their production expectations for this year, somewhere around 5K units) and their supply line is already set for that, so even if they decided tomorrow to increase volume, it's too late for this model year...

You wanna know when it's time to buy a car like these? They will be few in dealer inventory and the one they have will be sitting in the show room. The time to buy one is when they start parking them outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevy dealers sold quite a few 1978 Corvettes with ADM's to speculators who are just now able to get MSRP for cars still in the wrapper. Might be a couple more decades before the get their ADM money back. But hey thats for the buyers grandchildren to deal with And staying with the GT500 how about $170,000 pre-order from a SoCal dealership? .

Steven I can get a 2020 GT500 at msrp at my local Ford dealer...…..Also can get a C8 Vette at msrp at my local GM dealer....I guess it all depends where you're located and how greedy the dealers are in that area I guess....as far as the GT500 my local dealer had 6 allocations and still had two available up to 3 weeks ago.

Never said it had a bad review, I said not so great. In contrast, a GT350 review in comparison would be highly rated with less negatives. I say wait until the car is released. I spoke with a new Supra owner. Loves the car and doesn't understand the reviews. The C8 has yet to be officially released. Same for the GT500.

Couldn’t agree more. The new 911-S just got Best Drivers Car (GT350 came in 2nd and got awesome reviews) and the Corvette beat out the 911 in a recent review. They said it wasn’t better then the 911, but when you bring price into consideration it just wins, that’s how close it is to the 911. The 911 is the most Admired sports Car ever, that is a Huge compliment. Too bad the GT500 and C8 weren’t available for the testing, Best Drivers Car in my opinion is a much better test then the typical track testing, 99.9% of buyers don’t track their cars. Real world driving is what matters. Edited October 25, 2019 by carnut12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAI-Steven Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Ok I've been avoiding making this post because I too am guilty of using the "C" word in this thread so with that said PLEASE lets try to get this thread back to GT500 ADM's.

SAI-Steven Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Perhaps we can have an ADM of the week. Here's the one I commented about earlier this week. Have you seen one higher? If so copy & paste the ad here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
