Default C8 exterior width?

I see the exterior width 76.1 inches. Does anyone know if that would include mirrors or not?

Want to make sure it will fit info the garage.

so this is pretty close to the C7 Z06 width then

and I'd think you could fold the mirrors in but not sure if it counts in the width

Yeah, it looks like the 2LT has power folding mirrors.

Apparently that width is without measuring mirrors.

Looks like the C7 is 73.9in. If the C8's mirror are about the same size as the C7, I may be able to manage it. Might need to bubble wrap the sides of the garage (kidding).

But the key will be how much wider the widebody will be. I am going to hold out for a GS or one of the TTV8s although I am truly thinking of a Z51 for only a year until the widebodies come out. In fact I may send out some emails to check on that.

If you hear anything about GSs, please feel free to post here or PM me. I was going trade in my 2015 on a GS last year and, while I really liked the GS, I'm glad I waited for the 2020.

Its without mirrors but even the base Stingray mirrors can be manually folded which means the C8 should be close in width to the C7 with the mirrors folded in.
