2020 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I'll be detailing my favorite C5, while thinking how happy I am to be more than satisfied with this classic flip-up headlight-adorned piece of American art! So far, all the C8 sneak-peeks I've seen are just too European in their lines for my personal taste.
Maybe I'll put a sheet over it, and then pull it off to reveal my wonderful car and be amazed at its beauty all over again!

C6 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019
Photos have been leaked. It looks cool! That front end will take some getting used to though. Looks like they did well, IMO.

Though I doubt I’ll ever own a C8, I’m looking forward to the reveal.
Every time a new generation comes out it makes mine more classic.

The Camaro looking rear especially does not look right to me. It doesn't flow with the rest of the car..

I like it and can absolutely see a C8 in my garage. Not a first year C8, but perhaps a 2021 or 2022 model after the bugs are worked out. 0-60 in less than 3 seconds. Few know what that feels like. Around 60K are you kidding me.

The C8 may be my first new Corvette.

I'm impressed with it, and the pricing is not bad at all for what you get. 0-60 in under 3 seconds for less than 60k and the handling too!
As I stated earlier, I doubt I'll be getting one anytime soon, and I have to wonder how much more incredible the Z06 and ZR1 will be.

I took them to mean that the structure was much stiffer, not the spring/shock rates. I didn’t hear them say what the gross weight was or how it compared to the C7 which I would like to know. I was surprised that they kept the 6.2, almost 500 stock hp and torque, so why not! The most surprising thing for me was the fact that if you can afford a new C7 you can now afford a new mid engine super car with the serviceability of a Chevrolet.
