I also think the chrome wheels look great on the C8. But I am biased: I love them on my C7 also. When I grow up and get a C8, I will also seek out chrome wheels. --Bob

TEXASRANGER .... Enjoy the Tail. I would expect the 2 guys taking pictures will be there in Nov if it's not to cold. They take a ton of pictures of your car as it passes them. Then they post them on their website for you to view and for a reasonable price they will send you the .jpg of the pic.

Are you caravanning with a vette club to the Tail? I would suggest you come in from the West side and on a weekday if possible. Lots of motorcycles on the weekends that really make a crowd. If you have a passenger I would also suggest some diamine if you plan to run hard for more than 5-6 turns. I was driving and had to back off after 10ish turns because I felt my stomach getting weird.

There are other fun roads to drive that are near the Tail, but not a twisty.

Enjoy the drive .... I did.
