Default Blackwing or C8??

I have both....2020 C8 and 2023 CTV-4 Blackwing/manual

Both are exceptional and no manufacturing defects.

Took Ron Fellows Spring Mountain C8 course. Have not tried his Blackwing course.

C8 gets better gas mileage with V4 indicator. Blackwing gets, on a good day 25MPG.
Acceleration is blistering in either...like sneaking up on BMW's in V mode and dashing through 2nd gear.

Need something to drag lumber home and park in public.

Different cars for different purposes.
