Not like the ZL1 which can be pretty aggressive and some times caution is in order. I still wish a manual transmission was an option.

I do vaguely remember it was harder getting in and out of the C8 compared to the ZL1. The side sills at the rocker panels below the doors stuck out farther and it is lower. What I don't remember is if the blind spots and rear viewing was better or worse than the Camaro.

Thanks for the feedback.
The C8 is slightly harder to get in and out of than the Camaro. As you stated the side sills in the C8 are are wider. The seating position in both is low. The front and side visibility in the C8 is much better than the Camaro, but the Camaro has slightly better rear visibility. I like the side mirrors on the Camaro better too. They are easier to use. The C8 mirrors are kind of oddly shaped. My C8 also has the high wing option which further impairs rear visibility. At least it has the rear view HD camera like the ZL1 so you don't have to look through the wing.
