Right from the link you provided:

You can fit two standard sized carry on bags in the trunk on the coupe (and virtually nothing else). The HTC trunk is slightly smaller so YMMV. The frunk would hold the duffle bag and maybe the backpack and messenger bag if you don't stuff them.

Thanks guys yes I did see that but that site also states it wouldn't fit in a 2016 Z06 (but fits 17,18,19 which makes zero sense) so then I also found this link Soft side and it looks to be the same dimensions as the hard side (which I mentioned earlier) that's where my confusion is coming in.

That luggage (ClubGlove) is different than the GM luggage. However, that article also states "The Corvette Team tells us one of the design challenges was ensuring there would be enough storage for road trips. Their previous C7-branded 5-piece luggage set fits in the next-generation Corvette, but to see it is to believe it.". Since I am able to get two standard size overhead suitcases into the trunk, the full 5 piece set may fit. But, as I stated before, that is in a coupe and the HTC trunk is slightly smaller.

I fit 2 stand bags and 2 folding chairs (large ones) in the trunk. A roller bag, backpack, purse (wife's) and small cooler (mine) in the frunk. Had all that, put the top down and took a couple of touring laps on the track at COTA.

Bringing this thread back to life. I'm flying to Bowling Green in 3 weeks for Museum Delivery and looking to confirm that the C7 roller luggage will fit in the trunk of the coupe. I've had the luggage set for 8 years and it has held up well. Not looking to fit the entire 5 piece set, just one of the roller bags and the backpack. If the roller bag won't fit, I'll bring the duffle.

All the "this does not fit your car" message means is that GM hasn't listed it as an accessory for the C8.

When the C8 was introduced, Tadge and company said the entire fitted luggage set from the C7 would fit in a C8. I think that's what the set the OP linked to is. So not definite, but it should fit.

I don't know about the C7 roller bag, but I can fit two roll aboards in the trunk of my C8 (one on each side of the "bump" where the motor for the pull down is) and a 3rd in the frunk. I think you should be fine.

Buy the C8 fitted luggage and call it a day:



I purchased my set from the dealership two weeks after taking delivery of my C8. Been on three road trips using this luggage.

Do you put those 2 pieces in the trunk only or 1 in the front and 1 in the back ?

I have a HTC and we put 2 carry on size in the trunk with several shoe bags. In the frunk we put another carry on bag and then our laptop bag on top of that.

Two bags go side by side in the trunk or you can put one in the front trunk.

I had read the same thing. Was just hoping that someone here could confirm from actual experience.

I can assure you that some, but not all of the C7 luggage will fit in the C8. I’m judging off of the photo in the OP. All of that is not going to fit in a C8.

Default The Trunk Gets Hot

Think about what you put in the bag in the trunk. I have measured 145 F in the trunk recently.
