I don't fit in ct4 bw either. Bucket seat bolted to floor is the answer.

Got to drive a c8 for a bit and it just felt boring. The power delivery is linear and it just didnt feel special or exciting. They looks kick ass though and I love the interior. Ill wait till im 70. Couple that with GM dealer experience and im fully out

Exactly what I felt, the power delivery was very fast but very linear like a CVT or EV. The chassis of the C8 spyder that I drove felt very precise and the car looked great, but didn't felt that it was the car that I dreamed to own, didn't had that spirit and specially not without a MT available choice.

In their video SavageGeese preferred the raw drive analog feeling of their Corvette GS C7 compared to the driving numb feeling of the C8 Z51.

Nope. Great driving cars but I don't like the side view at all... too long.

I'm keeping this one (2017 Grand Sport A8 owned since new)...

I had a C8 Z51 and did all the track mods including wheels, tires, lowered, brake rotor upgrades, brake pads, fluids, track alignment, brake cooling ducts, intake, headers, exhaust. Car is amazing and great to drive.

Loved it. However, one track day it pulled so much timing due to heat, I am convinced non Z06 cars are not good track options. It pulled so much power. If you’re not a track guy and just do entry level HPDE’s, you won’t notice.

I’m actually circling for my first ZL1 1LE.
