The C8 has had long wait lists for almost 4 years now. How are the Camaro waitlists doing? No brainer, or comparison unless you throw the ZL1 in the mix.

Only drove it 2 miles back to the office and couldn't open her up much but the power is instant and the shifts are too. Very smooth delivery. Can't wait to drive her home!

Just a fyi, not knowing existing mileage on your 2023... <500 miles, not over 4500 RPMs or WOT. <1500 miles, no launch control or track use. Not abiding by this "could" have warranty implications. This is GM's requirements. This permits proper engine and DCT break-in.

BTW... Congrats on your new C8. You'll absolutely love it!

Just my opinion...
A C8 without the Z51 package will ride better and handle better than a Camaro SS.
No one can pick a car for someone else unless it is the spouse!!
