No beep.
It's a camera only; no sensors, anywhere, thank goodness!

I get it, you never backed up anything WITHOUT a camera?

I just wish the camera lens didn't get so nasty in the rain.

I agree with the op. Would be nice. Sometimes we get distracted doent hurt to have some assistamce now and again. I bet C8 gets them.

I bet the C8 gets a lot of safety items the boo birds will cry about.

My 2016 CTS has a choice of beep, or, vibrating seat plus dashboard alert when encountering an obstacle, wish I had the feature in my C7!
Also, the surround camera in the CTS is so much better then in my '18 GS for parking.

I never knew the Corvette had so many shortcomings until I joined this forum back in 2007. Funny how the complaints and wish list keep coming.

I don't miss having the beep. Plus we don't have those ugly sensor circles in the bumper.

Who drives Corvettes (in general)? Old people.
Who backs into things (in general)? Old people.
So not to generalize, but Corvette owners should have beeps ;-)
I'm kidding, but older people -do- seem to be more prone to it. Harder to turn the neck?
In my Range Rover it has beeps -and- it projects vertical planes overtop the camera view so you know what the sensors are seeing. Pretty handy. Since my manhood isn't informed by whether my car beeps or not, I'll take all the assists I can get. I figure if you're ranking yourself by how raw your parking experience is... well, that's a little weird.
