I've never driven a C8, how do they drive compared to the C7? I'm assuming they are much more civilized, more in line with a Cadillac. IMO, the C6 is more fun to drive than the C7, I'm assuming the C7 is more fun than the C8. Especially with a manual. I haven't driven a C5 in so long, I don't remember how one drives. It could be more raw than a C6 even.

Welcome back (to the C7 world). On the C8, if someone were to give one, I'd take it. But as noted many times already, having a manual trans is a must for me.
Looking good! Enjoy!

Two C8s and back to the C7? I'd love to hear that story. Sounds like you change cars alot. I kept my C6 3.5 years and I've had my C7 for 2.5 years. I'm almost ready to move on.
