LOL. I guess when the C8 is finally released, this "Curated Content Editor" will post the timely news a year later.

Wow, can't wait for a write up on the unveiling 3 months after it happens. I honestly believe at this point that you try to be the laughing stock of the forum. The saddest part is that you are paid to do this...

I guess the OP feels sorry for Zerv02 and is trying to take some of the negative heat off him.

How can the Forum accept such incompetence?? Not being rude, just saying though, this is mind boggling!

It really is kind of funny (and sad). The Sebring night test was posted on THEIR website well over a month ago by a member (of their forum).
The Curated Content Editor should probably stick to "barn finds" and "how to's".

While we do admit that the reporting of the testing is a bit old what is new is the commentary done by the writer who is a professional driving instructor. He is giving his own views and insight into the car and how those points translate into what we can expect when the car hits the street.

Has he driven the C8 or the C8.R? If not, then being a "professional driving instructor" has no effect on making me want to read your dumb article.

Too bad you don't specialize in timely and relevant information.

What does "curated content editor" even mean?

The $64,000 question. I think it's along the lines of calling a garbage man a sanitation engineer.
