Absolutely love the C2, but the C8 can hold its own in the car comparison game.

I once owned two C-2s and they are great cars. However I'm old now, and I Love my C-8 even more.

Me too. A '66 327/300 Side Pipe Blue Coupe (it was great!!) and a '67 427/390 Side Pipe Blue Coupe (it was great when it ran ).

But I'm also old now too, and I'll take the C8 anytime, but love the look of the C2s

Performance-wise? sure.....appearance? not even close. A red mid-year with a black stinger(I would prefer it be a coupe), with side exhaust and knock-off wheels is the car of cars IMO......

Apparently, he has both, so his only issue is which one to drive :-) Very nice pair for sure.
