I still prefer the lines of the 1972.

And chrome bumpers and trim.

It's only roughly $70k if you buy the stripped down model. I guess closer to $90k fully loaded. And I would think many people would could afford a Corvette would buy one that wasn't fully loaded. But if you buy the electric one expect to pay well over $100k

I heard owners tossing around a cost around $200,000. Is it sold stripped down? They never mentioned electric in the discussion I posted a video of.

I probably would have been more accurate if I had said the cheapest instead of stripped down. As for pricing, it all depends on where you look it seems. And the electric I think is likely a hybrid rather than all electric. Not sure about that.

But I did find where an all electric model is being added in 2025 and its pricing is closer to what you have been seeing.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette EV: What We Know So Far

An all-electric variant of the iconic Corvette sports car has been confirmed, and it’s expected to debut in 2024 as a 2025 model—possibly with the name e-Ray.

You know, I am old so give me the sound of the old high power engines and I am good. Electric has problems. Not merely Corvettes, any of them.

Electric is so impractical out here in the wide open spaces and long distances between towns that you almost never see an electric car here.

Even regular cars with normal batteries reach points where you wish you owned something better. The modern electric auto is normally smaller, weighs way too much due to batteries and in very cold weather you can get into one and find it won't start. And charging one. Real problems. Fremont, CA my town for many years had a COSTCO store than maybe 10 years back put in charging systems for maybe a dozen electrics. When I shopped, I kept noticing no takers being charged most of the time. The store now is a Walmart and it has no chargers at all. And the Newest larger COSTCO also has none when I left Fremont in 2019.
Let's see if they now have them.

^^ Oh Lord….they just had to turn this into a Trump thing somehow.


You people are nuts.

If you can afford a vet you ain’t worried about the ticket. And how fast do you really need to go? It’s for looks. For people who have disposable income.

Even if I had $1 million I would not buy a n expensive car. I’d buy dirt.

It’s my experience people who live in bfe never go anywhere too far from home. In towns like you describe.

Name the city. How far is the nearest city? I bet a battery car can handle it.

mMy brother drives his battery Jeep 3.5 hours up north mi. Me thinks you’re just negative green technology?

Would you believe that arguing ad hominem is about the worst way to get me to care what 'you thinks' or believe you know anything about the subject being discussed?

I’d get one for track use.
