Production of the 2020 Corvette is expected to resume at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly plant later this month following the pandemic-related production shutdown. Meanwhile, chassis production of the mid-engine sports car never stopped. GM has only managed to build about 2,700 units so far due to the 2019 UAW strike and pandemic and has not yet begun producing 2020 Corvette Convertible customer cars.

Does anyone have guesstimates on the Z06 price point?
Got to love the order of selection: Red, White then Blue 🙂
I intend to actually drive my C8 daily and am quite concerned with the effects rain water
or salt residue will have on the aluminum frame. I have seen aluminum frame motorcycles show quite a bit of oxidation from getting stuck in a rain storm. I am wondering if the C8 frame has any treatments applied to protect against corrosion and what spec aluminum is used?
Tom – This is a huge comment. You are absolutely correct. Once those frame pieces are assembled, BG should have a bath exactly like Porsche has to dip those frames in and coat them with an aluminum anti-corrosive or a ceramic coating with electricity to seal them. Thank you for bring this to the C8 enthusiasts out here. GM! Are you listening? AF
Corvettes with aluminum frames are nothing new. They’ve had aluminum frames for the last 14 years.
When the ZO6 was introduced in 2006, it used an aluminum frame in place of the base Corvette’s steel frame. 2009’s ZR1 also used the ZO6’s aluminum frame, and all C7 Corvettes used an aluminum frame. My understanding is that the main difference between the earlier Corvette frames, and the 2020’s frame is that the earlier frames were hydroformed aluminum, while the new frame uses a lot of aluminum extrusions.
Story on colors was just one dealership.(be it the largest)
Like to see total figures.
Also some colors were later production colors which may effect choice. I know it did in my case.
I keep making revisions to my C8 Poem:
Here is my latest revision. I apologize for editing on the fly. I ain’t no poet; I’m not a professional, but I wanted this content to get out there while it is still relevant:

C8, C8 – A Date With My ‘Vette Will Just Have to Wait–(Title of Poem)
If you want your C8 you’ll just have to wait,
All the magazines say that its really great,
You can build one on line, that’s for sure,
But you’ll wait in line for what seems like years
I want it; I want it; I want it.
Do you want it; do you want it; I thought I heard you say that you want it!
My friends have Porsche and Lamborghini,
Guys I film have Ferrari and AMG,
But I don’t care ’cause I want a C8
When I drive my tuner, seems I’m always late,
In 2020 BGAP closed its gate; seems a virus showed up like Watergate;
Now all I can do is drink some beers, there’s no stick shift but its got 8 gears
And now I’m lonely without the key; there’s no C8 coming to me.
Conti’s still dreamin’ ’cause he’s not driving; Mikes got his but they are out of C7’s;
Bowling Green: start again please; I want a C8, its my piece of Heaven;
The drive’s still in back, now so’s the motor,
Gimme that ‘Vette cause I ain’t no floater,
When my lunch is done, I need my Corvette,
Cause I’m ready for action and I’ll take your bet.
I don’t need no jewelry for me to have bling,
And the Mustang Cobra, is no longer the King.
Let me take my Ricarro’s out o’ the booth;
‘Cause Zero to 60, will tell the truth.
On a beautiful day I can run in the tens,
But its oh so sad how this saga ends,
Here we are in our social lock-down,
No ‘Vettes being made with the line shut down;
I gotta have this car, I gotta have one,
With 8 D/C speeds, she can really run.
6.2 Liters and we’re havin’ fun.
The cash in my pocket is burning a hole
And the PDR shows, I struck a mean blow;
Please, please God take the virus away
For comin’ soon will be the day,
I’ll be on track and racing for the cup,
On the turns I’ll pass ’em, cause my 8 hooks up.
Brink of Speed shows me what it’s like;
And Speed Phenom drives, while I just hike;
TJ’s mods are so very cool
But when I get my C8 I’ll take’m to school;
My drivin’ shoes are on but it’s just not great.
‘Cause to get my Vette, I’ll just have to wait;
They come from GM and they’re really great,
Yet to get my C8, I’ll just have to wait.
(loud to fade out): I’ll just have to wait; I’ll just have to wait (word wait stretched out) I’ll just
have to wait. (End real low to whisper quiet.)

A poem by Alex Ford during the 2020 Quarantine at home. The stay at home orders and the social distancing during the pandemic of the Covid-19 virus, finally spurred my, “creative,” side. Alex Ford.
Nice to see Blue is alive and well. Keep them coming.
The C8 has a fairly extensive color palette, but it would be nice to see several additional colors like those offered by Porsche, Lamborghini, and others, such as bright lime green, or a purple similar to color of the Barracudas and Challengers of the early 70s, or, maybe, a metallic black or bright white. I think there would be some takers, even if Chevy charged between $500 and $1000, or more. They’re able to sell a decent amount of custom color brake calipers, and are offering red, orange and yellow seat belts, so why not some unconventional colors?
This process should at least be an option!!
The 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette is like a beautiful woman that looks incredible in whatever she is wearing; thus, the C8 Corvette looks breathtaking in any color.
