Congratulations! Beautiful car!

Just curious, is it an LT1, 2, or 3? My understanding is that the 2021 models will be identical to the 2020s due to the delays, etc. All the options, pricing, etc., would be the same as 2020.

Congratulations again.

Ho, boy! Beautiful, congratulations!

I saw a black 2020 C8 on the road this weekend. Still had the temporary tags on it.

OOOOOO WEEE! That is a beautiful machine! Lots of joy after all of that agony and stress. Well done. STUNNING color. Definitely the pinnacle of GM performance and technology.

I'm sure the same was said in '63, '68 and even in '14. Fact is every major visual remake is always a success. If they discontinue or distort the Camaro I hope GM can keep this model in the "highly desirable" column.

its a 3LT.....and from 2020 to 2021 there are only a few differences. although the base price hasn't changed, a few of the options had a small increase....and 2 of the original colors were discontinued and 2 others added. ALSO, on a '21, you can get MAG-RIDE as a stand alone option, on a '20, it was required that you had to have the Z51 package to get mag-ride.....not anymore.

here's an update....back in December a week or so after the break in was done, a few days before Christmas I took a little ride out to work.....its literally in the middle of nowhere. the road to work is fairly new, its only a 2 lane road, but its 4 lanes wide.....about 3 1/2 miles that's STRAIGHT as an arrow....and its FLAT, and smooth as a baby's butt!!. it starts at a cross road....from that T (have measured it) there is a bridge and its EXACTLY 1 mile from the cross road. I couldn't see a single soul on the road.....so I stopped, set it up. launched!! I let off when I reached the bridge at the mile mark.....175!! this thing fly's like the wind! and is as smooth as silk at that speed!

I think I need to come visit you, LOL. There was a 2021 Vette at the Texas Mile and I think he made a best pass of 171mph, but the runway was far from what you described the road you were on. That thing launched pretty damn hard, the one time I was watching him. I was off 4-6mph from running at Victoria.

Soooooo, while you're in the hoosegow if I pay the impound fees can I drive your Vette until your release date? I promise to keep it well maintained and it will have good company parked by my Z/28 and Z06.
