You are beyond stupid. My hood latch works just fine and no duct tape is required. We get it, you don't have a C8 and that's what everyone wants and it galls you. Not many people want a 15 year old car with a $2 interior and a steering wheel out of a Cavalier. Talk about budget build.

 

Something tell me you don't do any runs at all. You live through other people on the internet. Edited zero times in total because I know what I said.

 

Ok in other posts you say GM need to fix the latch issue as it is a joke. Now you are saying your latch works fine. If there is nothing to worry about put the fuse back in. I'm the stupid one hey.

Interior can be fixed if it bothers you. Exterior styling can't and will always be a turd if it looks like a turd. But I get you are frustrated 6 years of waiting and they got problems with something as simple as a hood latch issue. Maybe GM should look back into the 60's how they made them.

Pretty sure the Cavalier was lucky to get the steering wheel from the Corvette.

 

Maybe and maybe I enjoy the car that I have and don't need to prove anything. You fan boys sure get butt hurt over nothing and you call yourself car enthusiasts, yeah right.

 

Finally we are in accord, you are stupid. The latch is quite robust and is very good, how they handle the unlatching is the problem that should be changed.

 

Seriously nit picking words are we ok. We both know what the issue is.

Calling me stupid when you can't figure out how to take out push pin retainers on the trim without breaking stuff. Ok, you are a winner there.

 

Well I would definitely challenge you on that point. I have a C5Z, I think C6Z's are amazing in fact if I ever get rid of this thing it will be to get a C6 ZR-1. I don't think there is a better looking/performing vette IMHO. That being said I think the C8 is awesome too. I love the exotic look and the performance for the price. Not really a huge fan of the auto but that's been beat to death and it's the direction every company seems to be going so.... I guess maybe you should ask yourself who the enthusiast here is? Why is it your personal mission to degrade this thing? It seems like a lot of effort with no reward.

 

No offense Phil but not everyone thinks the C8 is the best offering in the Corvette line. I had my lowly 9-year old Z06 - granted it’s a Callaway Carbon, out parked next to 2 C8s last night & my car got a lot more attention, pictures & video taken than the 2 C8s next to it. The Torch Red 1LT with natural interior left pretty soon after getting there I can only assume because there were more than a few “wannabe Ferrari” comments made by some in attendance.

Your constant putting down of others who don’t share your opinion or owners of previous generations Corvettes just shows your insecurities

 

No surprise there. Even a bone stop C6Z will walk a stock C8 from a roll. Look at 60 to 130 times for a real world idea.

C8 is a 117 120 Trap car at sea level. Outliers are 115 low and 122 high.

C6Z are 4 5mph higher at same DA as above. And from a roll C8 has more drag. That C6Z did nothing to that C8 even a stock V3 caddy has done from a roll.

 

I ask why is it considered a bad thing showing a C8 losing a race? You think I cry like a baby if a C6Z loses a race. If it loses it lost to a faster car. I don't care if it is stock or not or what brand.

​​​​​​People have been curious how these 2 cars being similar hp would stack against each other. I went out and said that from a roll a c6z will kill it from reading the performance numbers. Few people got offended and butt hurt about that.

​​​​​I don't get it why the anger and hostility. If a car loses it loses. Some of the fan boys make me sick here constantly bashing other cars and making fun of people. People like Phil and Punky revert to personal insults and name calling constantly when all we are talking about is cars and what is faster. Makes me wonder how these people are in real life with more serious topics when this gets them all butt hurt that someone does not like the car they bought. Insecure yes, definitely 100% and that is not my problem.

Big deal a C6Z walks a C8 from a roll. Why can't people just accept it without bringing up the excuses.

 

Yeah post #3 covered everything you just said.

 

Awesome car sexy as hell!

 

So on my C5z I was always asked “ was it an oil burner ? “

On my C6z it was “ have the heads been done ? “

On my friends C7z it was “ does it overheat and have you bent any wheels ? “

So what’s it going to be on the C8z. The base car already has the flying frunk lid. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

😂

 

Hopefully not a fpc disaster. That's my fear.
Or longevity reliability of the not even out for a year DCT.

 

I'm not arguing at all, pretty sure I agreed with the Chicago1 about this playing out as one would expect. Why is everything you post in a section dedicated to the C8 negative in context? I mean YOU brought up the Supra vid, why? It's not even your thread and has zero to do with a C6Z beating a C8 from a roll. Seeing this car lose to anything makes you happy, I'm not sure why but I am damn sure it does.

 

Good, enjoy your current Corvette. You can do this with out your daily display of C8 jealously. Why do you visit the C8 section EVERY DAY with the intention of aggravating those of us who either own or are interested in the C8? You and a couple other trolls here just can't deal with this new generation of Corvette and that is your problem. Each generation of Corvette is a step forward and a better vehicle, unfortunately there are a few who have blind denial of this well known fact this time around.
The upcoming, higher performing, C8s should really have your heads exploding and it will be quite entertaining to observe if you are unable to abate your stupidity about some thing that the overwhelming majority in the automotive world are admiring.

 

Actually if you think about it he is not the one that is insecure, it's people coming on to the C8 section posting petty and childish things just to try to put down the C8. And I think it's sad that people need to put down other generations of the Corvette (specially the newest versions....maybe it's just jealousy) and count every millisecond as if it really matters in 99% of situations just like my 12 year old nephew does! Imo, all Corvette's are great in their own way and fabulous cars and all have their own flaws as well which makes them all special!

Btw, you have a stunning looking C6Z!!!

 

Honestly, I'm quite secure, I buy what I want and don't care what anyone else thinks of it. I have a 1LT, there have been a bunch that think a stripper isn't the car to buy. I can afford more, just wouldn't use the features so it wasn't worth it to me. I think all Corvettes have their attributes, what I get sick of is what Punky said, Sprayer comes here to the C8 section every single day and has no desire to own one, no interest in them, hates GM, and just ***** all over the car in every single post. I wish he would explain what he thinks he is trying to accomplish with this. Not the bullshit about a different view, no he has posted hundreds of times he hates the car, while he is entitled to his view, saying it every single day beyond gets old. Does he think his venomous bile he pukes out will create an epiphany among C8 owners and those intending to buy and after the obligatory slap on the forehead we will all realize what a failure of paramount proportion the car is and no one ever owns one again? What is his point?????? I'm sorry, but his crap is just sickening.

 

I think some of it comes from the over the top hype of this car and that many Corvette enthusiasts were expecting it to live up to the hype. I’ve been a Corvette person since I was a little kid & even did reports on Corvettes in grade school There’s examples of every gen that I love, but unfortunately I feel this one missed the mark - considering the hype (I also don’t like the Base model of any previous gen, I prefer higher hp, special edition models).

A lot of people say “you need to see it in person”, ok I have and am still not overly impressed. The design leaves a lot to be desired as far as cohesiveness - imo. I don’t like the interior at all, nor do I care about all the upgraded technology - I buy my sports cars to drive, not fiddle with tech. Great so why are you here then - because I enjoy learning about Corvettes in general, and if the Z06/GS looks more like the C8.R, that may be a car I’m interested in.

The problem in here is that if anyone says anything that is not praise for the C8 they are immediately labeled a “hater” or jealous or can’t afford it, etc. There is almost no objectivity in this forum. Is every new gen a better overall car than the previous gen - I would hope so. Is the C8 quick 0-60 due to gearing and the DCT, sure is. Does that make it the greatest thing since sliced bread, sure for the stop light racers, but overall there’s a lot more to a sports car than 0-60.

You have the ridiculous “this car will put the expensive exotics to shame” New Car Dudes, and the excessive “this car sucks” crowd, but there is an overwhelming lack of objectivity from the majority it seems. I get it, it’s brand new & everything brand new & shiny is cool, but there are already several inherent problems popping up & people should be able to have a conversation about pros/cons/personal options without putting others or other Corvettes down - that is a textbook sign of insecurity.

 

I don’t think any normal person is going to care one way or the other wether you like the styling inside or outside. As with anything else beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When you feel you need to let everyone who owns one or wants to what you don’t like on the daily is where some may question the intent of your posts. I’m not by any meaning insinuating that this is you sir just to be clear. 🍻
