Quoted from rai:

Was looking C&D maybe was taking about the all season tires. These are not just any old all season tires like you’d buy at Pep Boys. These are special design for the car with tread more like summer tires and have better measured grip than old Corvette on summer tires.
I’m not in the camp that says the most grip is always the best when you can have more fun if the car is a bit loose in some conditions. I’m not saying best lap times I’m saying most fun (likely on public roads not race tracks).
I’ll say this, I’m not a race car driver and I don’t track my cars, I don’t need engine oil coolers and such that’s great for hard lap drive but overkill for street use.
Looks like a base C8 will be very competent for street driving.

Quoted from JoshPA:

I agree but I read that Chevy is going to crush dealers that try to sell over MSRP. Of course the early sales will go to "friends" of the dealer for resale, but I don't think it will last tooooo long.

Quoted from Jackontherocks:

Thinking of trading my black 2008 4LT two tone interior custom ordered corvette with all options into the dealer for a new 2019 if the deal is right with my trade in. Dealer doing $10k in discounts on 2019 LT2 or LT3 grand sport coupe. Any thoughts, just trying to justify if worth updating my car at this point in time while mine still has value. I do use mine as an everyday driver for work. I don’t need to but curious if worth it or wait about 3-5 more years or more for the new version.

Quoted from Jackontherocks:

Yes I know, but I have a killer deal on the 2019 Black 2LT or 3LT and would save me much money then waiting on new one at this point in time. I use mine as an every day driver and just getting ready to break 45k miles. I would not by the new version until a few years anyway and would cost almost Maybe around $12-$15k or more if I was to order I new one this year. I sat in the new ones and know they are performance better but having the last year of front engine 2019 will work for now for at least the next 10 years or little less.

Quoted from Jackontherocks:

Yes the 2019 I am looking at is a Grand Sport 2LT with black aluminum wheels rims, data/video recorder, carbon fiber interior package, carbon wheel center caps w/crossed flags logo, battery pkg, carbon flash badge pkg, etc or the 3LT Grand Sport has no extra options except battery package and includes data/video recorder in 3LT with brushed nickel standard rims. The major difference in 3LT In interior wrapped more with leather But I like the black wheel rims and carbon fiber in the 2LT much more. I have always liked chrome rims as my current one has 10 spoked but not an option on the new one as would have to upgrade separate cost. The cost difference between 3LT and 2LT model on the lot is $1,695. I like the way the 2LT looks with extra options almost makes total cost of car the same. Any thoughts? Here are two pics of the cars.[quoted image][quoted image]
