Saw one just like it at Criswell when I picked up my rapid blue Z06. It is a stunning combination in person. Congratulations and good luck with it!

Congrats. I have one similar, but yours is a higher trim and a little more options. Your exterior and interior, along with the caliper color, match up great. Your wheels are very nice as well. Great choice—enjoy happily and safely.

I sat in some different trim c8s last weekend and most surprising thing was how nice the lowest level interior was base seats were so comfortable. And all the finishes looked top notch. Chevy hit it out of the park on this car. Every one is a gem

All of these posts like this are making the wait for me so much harder! My order still has not been scheduled for production yet (it was accepted on Feb 17). I also have never driven or even sat in a C8 of any kind yet.

Beautiful build, love the red in the interior! And I am biased towards SWG, too.

Just got home from ciocca 150 miles and am in love. Reminds me of my panamera for luxury on highway with the on its toes athleticism of my guilia.

Cannot imagine what redline in track mode will be like. Best car I've ever driven

Some people may not agree with it but track mode is a must and I always put the z mode on to make sure all the settings are maximized to the highest performance. Some people get tired of it and it may annoying but I guess I like the attention, sounds, thrills, and feels.
