Actually the C8 has have very good fit/quality so far. Far less than the C7s.

23/C8Z

Sorry. Haven't seen that in all the C8s (15 or more so far) I've sat in and looked at up close.
Maybe the production cars will have.. but what's out there now looks the same as all other C6 C7s imo.. especially the door handles not lining up to the quarter panel duct. It drives me mad.

Foosh

LOL, C7s from the new plant have been a lot better. It's a lot more than just paint jobs with fancy new equipment. One of the reasons the new plant is so enormous is that the process of curing the panels has changed, and they now travel longer distances, spending more time in cooler ovens. The reason that was done was to fix the issue of panel warpage.

My new plant 18 has excellently aligned panels everywhere in addition to far less OP. My '14 was as good as they came then, but the difference in fit and finish was obvious when inspected side-by-side.

If you're bored you can peruse the C8 picture thread. I check it as it gets updated and most of the cars have very good fit/finish when inspecting panel gaps and alignment.

That's great... my 2014 was very poor. Many 2019s at my local dealer still have paint chipping off the front bumpers on the driver side. Door gaps do appear improved.

of course they are. They’re black

I really like the look with no emblems. Wonder if the emblems mount with tape only, no holes? My C5 had tape only on the rear deck emblem so I took it off. The front has two pins thru mounting holes.

The rear is horrible...nothing pretty or flowing about it...

It’s simple, don’t buy one.

There’s a demo in the tri cities area in February.

Not a fan of that rear end. It needs work.

There will be one at the Pasco dealer on February 10th. I may drive up to check it out if weather isn’t to bad.

Mr. Black

Thanks guys. Depending on the pass conditions over White Pass we might have to bomb over and check it out in person. That would be really cool.

It's simply ugly...has nothing to do with buying it or not...there's quite a few thing i don't like about the car but nothing that would stop me from not buying two of them...one for me and one for my son...and when the GS comes out I'll buy two more...when the ZO6 comes out I'll probably have to by three one for me my son and one for my daughter and all the while hating the rear end...but I usually dont have to worry about that aspect on the track because I'm planning on viewing two of my three C8's from the rearview mirror...but by then I'm sure GM will get a clue!

I named my C5Z06 "Big Butt." Named the C6Z06 "Bigger Butt." Didn't name the C7Z as it was slightly better than the C6Z. But the C8 rear is totally hideous. I am a golfer but my golf clubs are stored at the Club. I would be totally happy forgetting about ever getting a set of clubs in the Corvette if it would help them fix the rear end look problem.

Mr. Black

If I was that baller I wouldn't be buying Corvettes.

I wear Brooks athletic shoes. Going with factory standard wheels. Black wheels go well on black 60’s muscle cars.

I dig the C8. The back in all the pics don’t look good at all. Very busy and doesn’t flow. Hopefully they’ll change that in a future model year like the clay model showing up in pics

Imperfections are to be expected. Something you'll get used to if you buy enough new cars/trucks. If there's none, you win big.
