Still at the track, but sure!

Interior is amazing, and I love the rearview mirror camera. Very nice feature.

Now the important stuff...I expected it to push due to dialed in understeer, but it was great. We put it in track mode, but she didn’t show me how to put transmission in manual mode, so it ended up in 4th which is not ideal. It handles really well, and is quick. Not overly powerful, but fun. Can’t wait for the newer variants.

Awesome.

I was worried I wouldn't fit in a C7 as well. A few months before I was ready to buy I went to a dealer and just asked them if I could sit in one to make sure I could fit as well.

Not really tall, just wide.

I hit my head on the frame of the roof, but by tilting the seat up I hav at least 1.5 inches of head room. At 6’5 305, I am wide too and I found the GT2 seats to be very comfortable. C7 is tight for me cuz of the seats, but C8 is perfect.

Good friend of mine tracks his C8. It has an insane amount of understeer- at least on street tires with stock camber. Mid engine to get power to the rear wheels- but it’s hell if you have to wait to quit sliding.

Call me Henry Ford. You can have any color you want as long as it's black. I'm not a big fan of all of the contrast colors. Body color, then black, but on a black car, it will look proper.
