Default C8 storage

I live in Sarasota and go to the beach on occasion. I have a C7 Z06 and it fits 2 collapsible Tommy Bahama type chairs and a small cooler. Is the trunk/storage space in a C8 large enough to do the same?

considering your talking collapsible chairs.....those will fit in the rear easily and not knowing what you consider a small ice chest, its hard to say if it will fit in the FRONK, however, that area is pretty big as most standard carry-on suit cases will fit in there....so I would willing to bet your small chest will fit.

For drinks, you could get a fabric cooler that would squeeze into a space that a hard plastic "Igloo" type may not.
As for your chairs - I don't know which collapsable one you have but GM says 2 golf bags can fit behind engine.
I'd like to see that. My C7 had a decent size trunk. This is a whole other animal.
