Less than one month -- almost 1600 miles -- and no issues at all. It's been raining a lot, so I've logged those miles mostly in several multi-hundred driving days. There have been no water leaks, and the windows all seal very well, as does the convertible top.

No bubbling or chipping paint; no orange peel that I can see; the interior has straight accent stitching; she runs and shifts perfectly (better than I expected); has burned no oil, Front Lift does not leak a drop, and the small gap of the HTC trim on the inside is even on both sides.

Nothing has malfunctioned, including frunk and trunk opening using all the available options; there have been no battery problems; they built it the way I ordered it, and MacMulkin did right by me in every way!

I may have missed some of the commonly reported complaints, but in short, I couldn't be more pleased.

I took this photo today at 5:40am after driving 1.5 hours in dense fog:



My C8 has been "straight up" awesome!

Not a single problem and I've done my share of mods.

Just had her to the dealer first time for the 1 year free Oil/Filter & Trans filter. Love the C8

Two months, 4200 miles (I drove her from McMulkin to Vashon), one track day so far. Not a nit to pick.

Mine was built on 9/8/2020, 2LT Z51 HTC. Took delivery in late Oct, 2020. Little over 1K miles on it, as not having much chance to drive it so far due to office closed and work from home. Other than the wrong rear view mirror being installed by the factory which was later replaced by a local dealer, and minor front lift fluid leak which was addressed with a DIY fix, no any other issues since taking the ownership of the car.

This isn’t the thread that’s going to tell when your car is getting built, it’s the one that’s going to make you feel better about getting it.

TPW 8/30.

I can’t wait to get it and join the large *majority* of owners with zero issues.

Why do you feel the need to keep trashing my thread with your worries? I’m starting to feel sorry for you.

Why do you keep feeling the need to bring me up on your pep talk thread? I feel sorry for you that I’m on your mind so often and that you felt the need to start this thread at all because the other one didn’t pan out like you were hoping.

The “majority” of owners with no issues haven’t had their car for more than a few months. Talk about fishing for what you want to hear.

Advice to everyone - Just ignore the C8 bashers. They troll the forum trying to get a reaction.
