Brake by wire is for the upcoming hybrid or ERay or whatever.

C&D testers loved the car, Motor Trend liked it some, Road and Track seemed very meh.
I have zero interest in a car with brake by wire. I already hate disconnected feel of electric steering, now brakes.. Thats too far **** that ill stick to my older junk

I am resisting ordering one, but there is a good chance I'm going to give in this week.

1LT Z51, seems awesome for 65kish.

Base price $76,945
Price as tested $88,305

Maybe I’m missing something but I thought the base price was supposed to be under 60,000!

In all seriousness I wouldn’t buy crap for while before and after this strike @me32. You never know what kind of mood that jackoff was in that was building your new car. Im betting deliveries on the C8 will be delayed because of this nonsense

Im in agreement with you on this. Too be the 1st on the block with one maybe a lemon. Especially if your jumping ship from a another brand. Could possibly leave a bad taste after that.

I mean it could be an intentional mistake who knows. But yes the bare bones price is $59k. Question is who's ordering a bare bones model.

So why brag about a price tag of under 60k when not one has even been ordered?

all this noise is really going to hurt the brand and the buyers. Im not a Corvette guy, but I really like this car. Im telling everyone to wait on buying GM right now because they are running into parts shortages from what Im been reading.
