Note how low the leading edge of the hood's surface is on the production C8 vs. Chaz's renderings.

Yeah? You have the specs? Because I was warned at Carlisle by a Corvette engineer with whom I communicate with now and then that this car is BIG. That's about all he would tell me. From his tone I took that to mean it's BIGGER than the C7...

Where did you get that info? Or is it speciation? Thanks.

Yet, we've seen pictures of mules and C7s parked nose to tail, and they appear to be almost identical in size including length and height.

Sports cars- two seaters should always be purposeful and tight
If I could afford Aston's new line of mid engined cars that is where I would be. Minimalist at its finest!

Those new Astons are something else. Amazing.

Default Thick foam still under the camo

If you zoom the headlights, looks like at least 1/4 “ foam is visible from actual light to camo.
Still a lot hiding from view?
