Not seeing the Jake logo anywhere. Has GM done away with Jake for the C8? (Not that I really care, was never a fan of the Jake logo).

Not the best angle for comparison purposes, but the C8R oesn't have the "big butt" look of the street car, because of the "golf club" and targa top storage bin. Note how much taller the distance is between top of rear wheel well to top of rear deck on the street car.

The C8R looks so much better, and it's not just because of the wide-body. The rear deck is shorter, and more sculpted downward.

They had to create a list of things for boomers to complain about.

They should make the driving lights an option on our cars, If not, a great business for the after market guys.

Bib needs to put another blue decal on the tires. I liked the dual decal setup they used to sport.
