I couldn't find the old new corvette thread, so I decided to make one with the important details.
The car is about all I expected specification-wise, but the real story here is the pricing. The Z08 packages are likely going to be running with the 570S/650S and Huracan at remarkable prices. I can see this taking quite a good number of potential Evora buyers.

The fastest 0-60 time of any entry Corvette ever — under three seconds when equipped with Z51 Performance Package.

The 2020 Stingray’s heart is Chevy’s next-generation 6.2L Small Block V-8 LT2 engine, the only naturally aspirated V-8 in the segment. It will produce 495 horsepower (369 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque when equipped with performance exhaust — the most horsepower and torque for any entry Corvette.
...
The powertrain’s low position enables a low center of gravity for optimal handling. Perhaps the biggest update is found in the lubrication and ventilation system. For the first time ever, the base Stingray will use an engine-mounted dry sump oil system and three scavenge pumps for improved track performance.
During serious track driving, oil volume remains high to avoid diminished performance. The new Stingray’s lateral capability is greatly improved, so the LT2’s dry sump lubrication system had to be redesigned to provide exceptional engine performance even at lateral acceleration levels exceeding 1G in all directions.
...
The entry 2020 Stingray continues that tradition as a no-compromise value proposition, as it will start under $60,000.
