Default After couple weeks

So after couple weeks, I have a bunch of observations. This is my 15th Vett. C4 to present Gen..This C8 is my favorite and a blast to drive. So “off line acceleration” is dam near same as my C7Z. Love extra cockpit room/seat travel. I personally like the shape of the steering wheel. Handling is spectacular..Cant wait for C8Z

(ONLY THING) Anyone else find your right hand looking for a shifter/stick to grab??!! I find myself grabbing the mag ride adjuster..

Congratulations on your C8. I am waiting for my HTC to be built next month but have driven my buddy's C8 in April. I have owned 99 Corvettes, and the C8 is by far the most fun of any Corvette that I have ever driven.

Post some photos of your car here. We all enjoy seeing these incredible Corvettes after delivery.

Enjoy it in good health,

Steve

thought it was faster off the line than 7z but slower 50-75 and 1/4 mile?
