Wait until they reintroduce a manual transmission for people that actually know how to drive and enjoy driving?

My plan has never varied. Plan is to get the "now" 2021 C8, keep it for 3 years and autocross it, then trade it in and get a Z06 at that point. I never planned on keeping the C8, but I do plan on keeping the C8 Z06, and I want one that's a few years in so it's fully baked.

Besides....imagine the markup on a Z06 when the base was selling for 30k over.

Wonder how that flat plane crank and DOHC will make the power plant sound?

And Chevrolet being Chevrolet, within 3 years these exterior design stylings will trickle down to the base model.

Less like a Chevy Especially if it is high revving as some have speculated.

Didn't you watch that youtube of that ZO6 (LS7) with a flat-plane crank? It sounded awful. But hey...Chevy want's to try and compete with the supercar market.

They're trying to make an oil change and tune up a dealer only option for $5K+, huh?

I don't know...maybe. Have any C8 owners brought their cars in for oil changes yet?
