Great pricing and great looking interior (though the interior has already proven to not be as high-quality as suggested, based on some owners complaints). The front shark-look is not very attractive and the rear is just too busy, a mix of various styles, mixed with Camero styling and ultimately pretty ugly.

I picked up my HTC on Monday, loved the manual settings but agreed with your comments on the “docile” nature, until I played with the settings and found 2 that make it super involved in the auto settings. It made a big difference in the fun while in auto. My wife who is usually very critical of passenger interior space loves her cocoon and has only praised the passenger side space. As for your comments on the ride, I opted for the non-z51 as it will not be tracked ( I have a race car) and everything you said on how well I’d rides is also true with the base suspension. This is my first American car, I am a convert from Porsche and BMW, and really impressed with this “base” C8.

( no Gt doesn’t count, it’s beyond too expensive) Anyway, my Brother bought one and loves it, so to each there own. I’m working for a update design!

Get the mag-ride - it’s the best feature on my C7 Z51, even off the track being able to soften or stiffen it with a twist of a knob is brilliant.

For me, being able to look at that engine through the window is one of the awesome cool parts of the car. I just really like it. Having initially ordered a convertible that I never received and wanting a coupe rather than the convertible and its extra weight, motors and complexity, etc. all added up to my desire for a C8 Coupe. I live in So.Cal., so I don't have to worry much about rain at all and certainly not sudden showers. With the good weather, I can take the roof off, if I really want to. There is no way that this car is, "too good.? And don't worry about the passenger. If the driver is not careful, the passenger can open the glove box and pull out the chip and the driver will lose his camera and thus not be able to see where he or she's driven. That new red tintcoat means that you must now buy a C8 for your wife or girl friend. Less time for driving and more time for working O.T. Don't worry about being, "age 48, Steve. Mine now has Lambo doors and I can get in and out without any particular problem at all. Extra 3 grand is well-worth it, if you have it in the coin purse. AF

Great review Steve. Nice to see the corvette getting the rep that it deserves. I'm not sure about the design though. Front looks amazing. Rear 3rd quarter looks bulky and makes the rear wheels look small in proportion. I really hope the fix up the rear since thats what 99% of the people will end up seeing - its just way too busy.

I watched a few videos of how water "runs" into the engine bay via air vents and openings that expel heat on the coupe. I couldn't believe the amount of water spots after it dried. Particularly inside the window cover and the window between the engine and cockpit.. Also, I talked to a coupe owner at Road Atlanta last week and asked him his biggest complaint. His response was, dirty engine bay after a road trip and water spots after a rain or wash. He said cleaning the engine bay or wiping it down after washing isn't fun. I switched my order to a convertible. By eliminating the carbon fiber appearance package and other options related to the engine bay, it almost offsets the extra cost of a vert and I'll always have the total cubic feet available in the rear trunk by not having to stow the removable roof.

Looks like GM will overcharge Europeans too. When in Rome, no, sorry, correction: when in Stuttgart do as Stuttgartarians.

I have a Trackhawk after owning a BMW and my wife has an Audi and although the performance and features are incredible there are a lot cheap cost cutting measures and that’s after having to deeply discount them to get people and me to want to buy one. Bottom line there are noticeable compromises of premium materials that so called premium brands don’t skimp on so it still stands that get what you pay for. What the Corvette does is take advantage of the decreasing costs of technology to present the sub-$100k demographic a super car experience. This is what keeps the higher priced performance vehicle manufacturers honest and competitive and pushes innovation. I’m sure Ferrari was humbled by having to use Chevy invented and made mag ride shocks in their cars.

Couldn't said it better!

Maybe they’ll add another $15 to $20k to this price and give up the ultimate Z06 vette ✌🏾
