C8 on Public Roads

Team Owner
A little difficult to read, but it appears that the front tires are 245's same as on the base C6 and the base C7 Stingray.

GM It looks like you may have gotten it right this time!!! I have felt the C7 looked like something you avoid when walking in the back yard!!! With the C8
You will probably sell me a car.

oh god... Quick! Put the covers back on! Thing is hideous
In all seriousness though, the Z06 or whatever they decide to call the performance model better be a lot more aggressive. And that spoiler...sad (or sick!)

Is it just me or does the front look odd. Instead of sloping gently towards the ground it comes out to a point then starts to go back in creating an odd pointy nose that looks like it was designed for knee capping people.

not the look I'm looking for, if the splitter turns out to be separated in the middle section its going to ruin the nose style.

Safety Car
A splitter would be parallel to the ground. This looks more like a diffuser. One of the cars had no roll or pitch which is essential for diffuser function. 'Course, it could be for speed bump clearance.

I wonder why they decided to test the cars with the headlight covers off? You would think it would affect drag/aerodynamics.

Also who hits a pedestrian that's in front of them? They are in front of your car, you should see someone right in front of your car and stop. Are they blind or just not looking where they are driving?

So far the styling of this car does not make my toes curl
But hope springs eternal...

C8 design
Guys,just my opinion but remember when you saw your first C7? I said Wow! Bought a 15 z51 and now an 18Z. I can just sit there and gaze at it in the Garage and never get tired( not to mention driving!)Of course reserving judgement for the finished product but watched the 3 min of video of the mule at the Ring and if that’s close the finished design I’ll pass. Butt ugly. Unbalanced.Deminuative front end,terrible rear. Gangly,awkward are the first two words that come to mind.Maybe it will grow on me but I’m liking my Z even more.
