Default My new C8


Just bought my C8 today from local dealer in the twin-cities, used 2020 Z51 LT2 with a ton of options, 2900 miles and not a scratch on the poor thing. Windows are already tinted and car had already been ceramic coated. Needs a clear bra and it’s ready… And maybe a 2650 Magnuson after a few break-in miles…..

Default My C8


I just waited until all the dust settled and started looking for the right car with all the good options, this car was over 100k sticker two years ago with all the options it has, with a lousy 2k miles I paid 80k, now I the perfect one for me, I just had to play with a Camaro ZL1 until the price came down enough. Sold the Camaro and finally got a C8.

Correct,
Original owner knew what they were doing, all the performance options were about checked.
thing it they selected everything in black, the interior has no color accents, belts, trip, stitching, no color, just all black. It’s really starting to push the right buttons for me….

Your black C8 certainly looks a whole lot better than the blue one behind it. Perspnally, I never liked that blue color...it's too light.

Funny you should say that. I've never liked the Rapid Blue, until I saw it at my local dealer this week. It looks much better in person than in pictures. I would even consider choosing it now that I've seen it in person. :-)
