I agree! it would be difficult to keep up, however I wish there was a way to identify which members/posters here actually own a C8.
It would be interesting to see how many who constantly complain about C8s and always giving advice here not only don't own one but never even driven or ridden in one for that matter.

It's kind of like the vast # of those giving parenting advice on the internet who have never had children.

New colors, wheels and spoiler are not enticing to me. They could have done better.

I think I am going to try to zero in on a 2024 although I really like that yellow. Similar to my 2007 Velocity Yellow that I really miss.

Another model year, another missed opportunity to give everyone the color that you see repeatedly asked for since birth of C8................... LIME GREEN.

Personally, I'd never buy a lime green Corvette, however a bright/vibrant lime green would be very popular amount young C8 enthusiasts and be good for the brand.

Agreed, there is a reason the most seen color to wrap a C8 is lime green. Open your eyes GM, look at the cars competitors......... Oh well, "You can lead a horse to water......

Would not be a fan of lime green, but if they would dig up 1969 Ralley Green my Red Mist C8 would be on FB Market place today.

Here is my 1969 Z/28 in Rally Green.

Well, if this is it for 2025, I guess I'm looking for a 2024 allocation next week.

That could be and that's why so many have had such good experiences purchasing their C8s from MacMulkin and others. You don't have to use a dealer that's in driving distance. I never have and have gotten my C8 within a week or two of when my dealers estimated I would.

Nope, not a fan of the new wheels clearly they need a new wheel design team. Even with the three new colors it’s still hard to beat Torch Red!

Agree, never saw a wing I liked that had more than two posts…. And the reason I don’t have the Z51 wing is the four posts…

Never been a fan of green but now that “70’s” (late 60’s) green from back in the day now looks good to me.

The question is why do you bother? Until I put my deposit down I never visited this forum. If someone is interested in buying a C8 and looking for information…. Best of luck…. But other than that I don’t understand why people would spend their valuable time on forums of a car they don’t own 🤷‍♂️

If i didn’t own a C8 there would be nothing here that interests me.

I can only answer for myself. I’m out of corvette for now after 25 years. I’ve been on the forum almost since it started. I like corvettes and am waiting for the c9 maybe. I like all cars and like to follow folks experiences, enjoy the pictures and like it when someone accomplishes a lifetime dream in some cases. I ve tracked my cars and have been fortunate to own 3 c8s but certainly do not consider myself an expert. We’re all just posting experiences, tips and trying to help one another. Pretty simple and lot of fun me thinks.
