A waste of a nice car, but it has been done.

This Color Combo is one of the nicest I have ever seem on any Corvette ever made!

I Honestly Do as I am not a fan of exotic supercars of any kind and that is what the C8 has turned into. I do hope they sell many to people who like that type of car to keep the brand name alive but I will never sell my C7 Z06 VERT!

They have way too many problems to sit in line and wait for one for FULL RETAIL. I cancelled my order

IMO, I dont believe sports car fits the image of a C8. It's somewhere between an entry level exotic and a solid track star.
I like the concept, but not the design.
To me, the C7 is the last generation of a true American sports car that just happens to be fast, modern and beautiful.

My C7 is way to pretty to tear up on a track. I love driving it as a daily driver.

I’m hard-pressed to disagree.

My Vette mechanic said he thinks the C8 should not have been called a Corvette, just too many differences. It would have been nice if they made both for a while

Hardly enough demand for one model, let alone two.

Do you plan on waiting for the inevitable discounts off MSRP, or do you think that 🤔 you'll get a pre-owned C7? Your Black C7 vert was gorgeous, BTW.❤
