Because it's a race car with a totally different fuel system and FIA fuel cells. The higher fueling port helps with quick fueling connection and to keep the fuel man out of the tire changer's way.

Ewwwww!

Yeah OP, get it! I'm sure it'll look great with your lambo-doors and fuzzy dice ornaments.

Would not a black gas cap on anything but a black car, but if you want one, shouldn’t be too hard to have it painted.

I wholeheartedly hate it lol. Thankfully with the C7, I have seen much less of tacky mods, God I hope they will all but disappear with the C8!!

I'm sure there will be a tacky-*** fake carbon fiber stick-on made for that. It'll definitely improve the style of the car. /s

The Gas Cap Door on my C8 will be Black, just like the rest of the Car.

My 2015 Dodge Challenger has a Chrome Gas Cap Cover just like the late 60's, early 70's Challengers it emulates.

The flip up Gas Filler Door worked on the C2 Corvette though. On the C8, not so much.
