Greetings: I was just curious on the difference between my C7 coupe and C8 HTC in terms of physical dimensions. I considered the C7 the best sports car I had ever owned, but now I consider the C8 better. It is an excellent driving and handling sports car. I would be hard to find anything better at any price. I may have made errors in my data research. Correct me if you will. Boy, do I ever write boring threads. Oh well...

I thought the C8 is bigger in every dimension including roof height. But I went from C6 to C8. Critically is the width and the doors need to open further as the are wider, much wider.

For transmission on the C7 there was also the 7 speed manual which I had on my 2014. For rear axle ratio, on the c8, axle ratios are 4.89 for base cars or 5.17 for Z51. C7 had 5 different ratios depending on 6 or 8 speed auto, Base or Z51 or manual transmission. HP: c7 455 or 460 with performance exhaust. C8 490 or 495 with performance exhaust. Mpg: who cares
I had researched the same info to see how the C8 compares to my C7 Grand Sport to fit on a lift. I haven't had much luck finding a good reference for the same specs for a C7 GS like you have posted, even doing a search on here. Ever run across those somewhere?
The Corvette Museum has some detailed specifications on some models. I used Ms Google and just asked for a particular specification. She was mostly helpful.
