Bought a C8
2022, 1800 miles. Still have my C2 and C3s but traded my 15. It took a while for the C8 style to grow on me. Since my previous late model Vettes have been 6 and 7 speed manuals I was surprised that I don't miss the shifting. C8 auto shifts quickly and smoothly. 14 speaker radio is the first I can really hear a quality sound even with NPP exhaust. Really like seeing the engine thru the rear glass and all the cameras really help me since I have poor vision. Wife says it'sthe best looking Vette I have ever owned.
It has a ton of technology and features therefore thirsting for knowledge Ive been spending some time on the C8 forum. Def a different group of members than on the C2 and C3 forums. Many threads on cosmetic mods and cleaning. Many threads turn into very "spirited" discussions, especially on the UAW strike. When I purchased my 15 I spent some time on the C7 forums but since I seldom make any cosmetic (or mechanical) mods and I had next to zero problems I drifted away.
I can see that happening with the C8 forum.
Beautiful car! Interestingly enough I was at the Corvette museum last week was able to take a plant tour which really got me interested in a C8. It has me thinking about replacing my 72 LT-1 with one. Enjoy!
Nice car. Pretty good value (in general) when ya consider an optioned-out SUV can cost just as much if not more, these day. Esp like those Grand Wagoneers which are real pricy.

Congrats on your C8. They are great cars. I had a 2020 coupe, now a 22 convertible. Z06 coming soon (3300 status). Comfortable, fast and great handling.
Very nice. I would love to see a wide-body version come out. Do folks in the C8 forum even know what the Corvette Wave is? Aside from the long time Corvette owners, I'm assuming that's not a thing. Certainly hasn't been in the real world.

The wide body version is called a Z06 or an Eray. As far as the Wave - I always wave to other Corvettes I see on the road.
Congratulations, it is beautiful.
We just purchased our new 2024 2500 HD Silverado.
I know what you mean about hi tech.
There is always something illuminating up on the dash, or in the side view mirrors, telling me about something going on around me.
There seems to be cameras everywhere showing me every angle.
In the beginning it was almost overwhelming and it took some getting used to, but now I can ignore most of it and just enjoy driving.

Don't do it .................. add one !! You will miss your 72 & the chrome dearly !!
Beautiful car. I also made the leap to a C8, pictured below with my '75. I've had a C5 Z06, C6 Grand Sport, and a C7 Grand Sport (all manual transmissions). I'm embarrassed to say...I don't miss shifting as much as I thought I would.
