Great pic, walleyfisher. They look good together.

The wife and I were out for a beverage last summer. We drove over in the '75. Came back out and this beautiful 2020 was parked next to us.

Nice pics, and thank you both. I'd like to see a shot of both from the rear. We own a C3 and C7 but, until they fix the rear of the C8 (not a huge fan of the front end either - but I like the side view), there is no way one is coming to our garage. In the meantime, I'll keep enjoying the great lines of our C3 for sure.

Curious what size tires you have on. They look to be a bit “meatier” than what I usually see on rallies.

As a super car the C8 is amazing. Great looks, performance, head turning, at a good price. As a corvette, not so much. When the C7 came out, I was SO excited they went back to a more traditional corvette design. The C8 completely the other direction. Not to dis the C8.
