Looking forward to it. Interested in pricing and how the weight affects it on the track. Sounds like it's more of a grand tourer. Should be sweet.

Is it just me or does it look just like the current Vette? I thought they would change the styling to make it more recognizable.

I wonder if the added horses will make up for the extra weight?

E Ray is Grand Sport replacement. So Z06 wide body with LT2 and electric motors up front.

Hope the sound you hear at the beginning of the clip is real. Can’t wait to see it drag race against the charger BansheE

It's a solid idea. Grand Touring is the primary focus for major oem expensive sports cars. If the pricing is decent, most regular Vette guys should be tempted with the more sudden street drag ability.

I’m interested, but there’s no manual transmission and the trunk is too small for the road trips I take. The Camaro has only been getting driven one day a week, sometimes two, for the last two years or so. A Corvette would probably end up only getting driven once or twice a month. For me a ZL1 would be more practical.
