2023 C2 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Wow
I’ve owned vettes for the last 52 years. Still own a c2. Every generation got better. Just traded my 2014 z51 3lt 7m on a base model c8. What a car. I love it. Never thought I would be this excited. Pure enjoyment.

2024 C8 of the Year Finalist - Modified
Echo the other comments. Owned a C5 and C6 Z06's, but this C8 is a different car. Didn't realize a mid engine car would feel so different. Super fun to rotate in turns and flat as hell in the corners.

2024 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I agree. I’ve had one of every generation since my 1992 C4. I really loved my C7 but the C8 surpasses it in every aspect to me.

Can’t wait to hit 500 miles but might not be able to before winter hits Pa. I’ll park it from Dec. til March. As I said at the start what a car. Thanks for all the replies.

If "better" means safer/more creature comforts/faster then I would agree but better looking & desirable? I think not

My exact words many times "This is by far the best"
This one may go down as a classic that will never get old, just like a 63 split window.
