I am a long time Ford Mustang person (first new one in 1973). The C8 is the first Chevy that has ever attracted my attention! Doubt anything will happen this year, but I am following first impressions and any issues that happen with new car owners. I also bought a new Jeep Wrangler of the first "JL" model year, but the stock on car lots was available and I could negotiate price. I don't see that happening with the C8. I have been lurking for awhile here and decided to register. I have never paid sticker so I completely am in watch and wait mode. It seems like this could be a legendary American sports car.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum Ken!!! Here's hoping you pull the trigger in the C8. I don't think you will regret a thing!! Corvettes are legendary cars. Every generation is special and there really is something to be said about Corvette fever.
