Looking forward to having a chat with you guys as i`m thinking about the (New to us) C8...I have always been into my performance cars from many years back when i rebuilt a Lotus from scratch (Basket case) i replaced the chassis (New galv item) rebuilt the engine with cosworth cams...Rebuilt the Gearbox (Bean`s industries.. BL internal`s) and rebuilt the rear diff (3ltr ford Capri item -Salsbury item)...then rewired the whole car and resprayed it in white...
I have also owned 3 x 911 Porsches (1x 911 sc,1 x 3.2 carrera & 1 x carrera supersport)...
Then i went into importing the *** stuff and owned a subaru Impreza WRX STI type RA.... 3 x mitsubishi lancer evo`s 1 x evo 6, 1x evo 6.5 tommi mak and 1 x evo 8..Then on to a Toyota Surpra mk4 3.0 twin turbo 6 speed..Then onto my last car a 650 bhp Nissan skyline GTR32 Tanaka Engineering...that i sold 4 months ago..Now i`m liking the Corvette C8..Am i doing the right thing guys...???

Welcome to the Forum, Kev!
Sounds like a good and varied car background, and believe you will enjoy the C8.
