So, do you all get the comment that your black C8 is the Batmobile?

My C8 is torch red but my C7 was black with black wheels and got called the bat mobile a lot. My favorite was waiting for carry out at a restaurant when two women came out and one said it looked like the bat mobile and the other said it looked more like a mid life crisis. I wanted to correct her and tell her it was actually a mid life melt down but decided to keep quite. 😀

No, but as a Corvette novice, I feel like I'm driving the Batmobile. (in Rapid Blue that is)

Funny you should post this, it was the first impression I got from driving it.

I have had at least five friends say the same thing to me about my black HTC, I had not thought about it until this thread got started.

This is what mine will look like. I have posted it on social media sites and have had many people call it the Batmobile. I kind of like it.

I haven't pulled the trigger yet, after 3 red cars, on the visualizer I keep going back to this configuration, which is very similar to Eric's. This was inspired by Jay Leno's black Ford GT.

I have always been told that my 5th and 6th gen Camaros either looked like KITT or the Batmobile.

Will be very interesting to see what I hear about the C8.

My wife has referred to my Black C-8 as the "Bat Mobile" since the day I drove it home (March 24, 2020) from MacMulkin Chevrolet. PS I also still have my 2004 triple black Vert
