CGX car nut:If General Motors delivers on the motor, purportedly a flat plane V8, then less emphasis is placed on the appearance, it will win in the marketplace. The C8 Corvette looks better in person than in images too.
Yes and hopefully it will have less problems than Fords.

Having issues properly posting this Chevrolet YouTube video of the new Corvette Z06. Consider me so impressed that I have contacted my dealer about getting one next summer.

This car will sell pretty well...one of the last high revving n/a cars I guess.

CGX car nut:Dealers are reporting a 3 to 4 year waitlist for the car. However, many are just tire kickers and won’t get one.
Unfortunately, it seems some of the Chevy dealers are getting in on the party where they charge over sticker price...

Unfortunately but that’s a downside of a franchise dealership network. I am already in contact my assigned Corvette Concierge and have started the order process.

A driving academy using the new C8 Corvettes. In Germany.
Our initial impression on the C8 being a world class level car isn't wrong.
It's fast and it can handles. And it would seems it's durable enough to be abused in a driving school.
Bravo to GM's current build quality.
I should know, our track had been partnering with GM for a few years now, hosting their Camaro Driving Academy. Our fleet of 20 Camaros in various specs have been close to bulletproof even being thrashed under track condition.
