I also agree and the 3/4 shot of the C8Z is the only great angle. Others show it’s strange proportions.

I would still take one if offered!

Hi, The Z belongs to a Friend. The ZR was overwhelming the fav amongst people. The Z does look very oddly proportioned. It has a different sound, interior is nice but not the angled masterpiece the ZR is. Many didn’t like the “fangs” in front end , lots of cheap plastic or could even tell it’s a Z.
I’ll drive it at a later time. All owners I’ve talked with prefer the C7 ZR

This has to be one of my very favorite "show pictures" of my Shadow Grey Metallic ZR.

I am also not a big fan of the C8's interior which doesn't come close to the ZR's in my humble opinion. I don't fit in the C8 as well as I do ZR and I cant get used to the function buttons on the passenger's grab handle which reminds me of high-rise's elevator buttons. As far as I'm concerned the ZR has much more "in your face" bad-*** functionality.

There is one thing the C8 offers that is so far unavailable for our ZR's and that is the front end lift for steep road-to-entryway transitions. I'm a little amazed the Corvette after market companies that are out there have not come up with a solution. Thank God for Scrape Armor which saves my splitter at least once a week no matter how careful I am.

Finally, when they make the C8 into a 4 wheel drive vehicle with a couple of front end electric motors the C8 will probably take the go-fast crown.
