Had made this pic to answer "can't carry a pizza!" In fact the dimensions of the C8 are such that there are limitations!
There was confusion on storage space when the C7 Corvette was introduced as GM changed their measurement method from essentially volume based on how many "ping pong ***** could be stored" to a method defined by SAE. So the capacity went from the 22.4 CF fot the C6 Coupe to 15 CF for the C7 Coupe. There was the expected 33% less capacity comments on the forum, which was NOT true. We had a prior CTS Caddy and the new measurement method "decreased" about the same percentage for the IDENTICAL truck size. However the height was in fact less. Not a lot, but I could no longer bring my 18"X18"X16" standard product shipping box to FedEx! I brought the unfolded box and two items that just fit inside with my packing tape and assembled the box at FedEx!
FWIW, GM quotes the C8 as having 12.6 CF combined Trunk & Frunk capacity and compares it to the 15 CF of the C7. But info from what appears to be leaked from a GM internal C8 spec book, shows the capacity as 9.1 CF RRC SAE and 12.6 CF RRC V1. In any case, the key is the shape of the storage areas, which are large but such that I can't even fit my unfolded box! Note, it's clear the SAE method would be lower for the C8: "SAE International’s J1100 Motor Vehicle Dimensions, recommends automakers measure cargo volume for enclosed areas with standardized blocks that simulate pieces of luggage." (Only luggage the size used by the Geico Gecko would give the 12.6 CF volume! )
Hope Pic Helps. I added extra dimensions to my "What Pizza Can Fit pic" that some posters provided on this Thread- Thanks!
Can’t find measurements either. I did find that the rear trunk accommodates 7.2 cubic feet, and the front frunk accommodates 5 cubic feet. Hope that helps.

Yup, those numbers are out there, but not the dimensions. Thank you
You must not know of the golf bag requirement for corvettes - It holds 2 golf bags. I googled and found the following bag Dimensions: 35.5” H x 11” W x 17” D. I'm sure there are many different sizes. The other pic shows real bags that fit in each end. 'hope this helps you pick bags or clubs. The statement doesn't say 1 golf bag front & 1 rear or 2 rear ... I guess you'll (we'll) know eventually. The 5 soft sides seems plenty for a nice trip, even vacation, but i would not want to leave it at a commercial airport unless inside a private Hangar Mahal.
My rough trunk/frunk measurements - Took a tape measure with me. The rear trunk roughly measured: 55" wide, 13" front/back, depth ? (I screwed up and wrote down 12"!!) The outboard corners were deeper than whatever the true center measurement was. Frunk: 22" wide, 10?" front/back, 17" deep.
The following measurements were taken by C7Redneck. “The frunk is approximately 22 1/2” wide X 15” front-to-rear, with a sloping height of 18” deep front to 23” rear.”
The door thickness, from the interior card to the outside edge of the "fang" was 13".
The Corvette isn’t a SUV. As produced the 2020 Corvette provides adequate storage/packing space for the vehicle it is. My wife and I were able to do multi week road trips in the C5 & C6 convertibles using the available trunk space. We will have more storage room in the C8. Waiting impatiently.

Looks like 10.5 in the C6 vert vs 12.2 total in the C8. You'll be living like kings.
Thanks for the info. Please...will somebody that has taken delivery of their C8 go out to the garage and measure the trunk. Thanks in advance for doing this. It may be that the frunk can hold one airline size carry on and the trunk may hold two. See you on the road!

Wow, when I asked the question about the size of the trunk, got some pretty good answers. Not only did JerryU come up with ALL of the measurements & their methodology, but he brought it down to basics with the Pizza example! Terrific, Now I know that Domino's has their specially designed Toyota pizza delivery sedan, maybe Papa John's could modify a C8 to deliver their pizza's with some style! The only thing that would beat this would be Drone Pizza Delivery!
Thanks for all the details ... I know this is old ... and I will be going to see a C8 in the near-term. In the meantime, I am still having problems understanding the trunk dimensions. In particular, I can see the 12" pizza box at the top of the trunk. Right below the pizza box is a large ledge (see picture). so what does that mean the lower trunk size is actually ... 8" front to back? Or is the 12" meant to refer to the lower area of the trunk. A photo with a readable tape measure would be great if someone has time.

It varies from ~13 inches to ~9 3/4 inches as see by the divider I modified from my C7 to fit and added another panel.
That was added to stop a spill we had with a Doggy Bag from a restaurant that fell into a hole depression on the End!
Note partitions store flat in the NET and assembles (as it did in my C7s) in seconds when needed.
