    Best car I’ve ever owned. I was fortunate enough to get my 2021 Z51 coupe at MSRP. Checked every box (except upgraded wheels where I went aftermarket) and my 3LT came in at $88k. Not sure it’s even feasible to get a C8 below $75k these days. Unless it’s severely used or a bare bones spec.

    I’ve owned 3 C8’s all at MSRP. 2 coupes with Z51 and mag ride. Now in a HTC without Z51 and mag ride. However do have performance exhaust. This is the car for me. $76,857 MSRP. Bargain car for what you get. Rear low profile spoiler and front splitter. Looks better then the Z51 rear goofy looking spoiler. Never going to track the car so this combination is the best IMO.

    Just Subbed, Great produced review. Its funny you did the same thing I did. I also signed up for the C8 a while back and I got so mad of the waiting and the game that some dealerships did. Its was like they were bypassing me even though I had a low number on there list. At the Time I gave up and just got a C7 z51 and had a ball with it. Looking back though I should have waited a little more. When I gave up though I found one of the top 10 dealers taking deposits for future car @ msrp. So now Im early on the E-ray list. So hopefully I should have a c-8 Finally at the end of this year......maybe.

    C8 is slower because aero is tuned for downforce and heavier than the C7, and the C7 was heavier than the C6. The DCT makes it fast and the mid engine makes it launch so well.

I find the design too heavy looking and schizophrenic. Also, the amount of them and drivers thinking they are driving a Ferrari is a huge turnoff to me. I miss the C6.
