Neither are either of my C6Z's. My current strategy is to pick one up, either 1st or 2nd year as a Z51, and trade up for the higher trims 3-4 years after that and plan on keeping that one for good as well. I just need something fun to drive, and race, that has a warranty, and that I don't plan on keeping for good.

Was not a fan of the C6 at introduction but that changed a year or two later and I've been driving one since. Wasn't a fan of the C7 look at introduction. Like them better now, but fine with the C6. No planning to buy another Vette but if I were, the only thing about the C8 that would hold me back is the lack of a manual transmission.

Still not a fan of the C7 unless in a widebody form which will be the same for the C8.
The offset and tire size on the C7 & C8 is just looks anemic from a stance perspective. Some 20x12's with a modest lowering will help that car a lot. |

If that is the stance when it comes off the lot then I am good.

I don't know what exactly I was hoping for, but at first look it almost comes off as...meh. The Diet Coke of supercars. Just 1 calorie... not supercar enough. Maybe I will change my mind after seeing in person. |

Will this indicate option/ package costs, or are we stuck waiting another month until August.
I've been working towards getting a gallardo, have always loved those cars and decided I would try and get one now that they are starting to pop up for under 100k. But the C8 performs better is 10-12 years newer and will probably cost much less to maintain....... I no longer want a lambo I'll take a C8 |

Jumps the car into a personalized track mode.
The C8 will have expanded driving modes, with six presets compared to the current car's four: Weather, Tour, Sport, Track, plus an individually-configurable MyMode and the new Z Mode. That final mode is named for the Z51, Z06 and ZR1 performance models known to Corvette aficionados, and offers further individualized configuring of chassis, engine and transmission parameters, accessible through a new "Z" button on the steering wheel. Performance Traction Management, the advanced multi-mode traction and stability control system with five levels of increasingly-lax intervention for track driving, is once again available. |

The only thing I really do not like is the squared steering wheel. It may look better to me in person. In either case, it would not stop me from buying one.
I am still surprised that GM is making the car a mid-engine, never thought I would see that. ![]() |
