I'm a little bummed I didn't go. I tried messaging Boardwalk to see if they were letting people sit and I didn't get a response. It's so far from me I didn't want to drive a couple hours to just look at it since I had seen it at Laguna Seca.
Not a huge deal, seems like everyone who fits in a c7 hasn't had trouble with c8.
Thanks for the pics. Great color!
Boardwalk not returning emails or following up...sigh. Kinda seems to be their MO from what I’ve read on CF, and recently personally experienced.
That’s Elkhart Lake Blue. Which is of course already a C7 color. The color chip on the display for Rapid Blue is very striking. I can see why a lot of people want it.
I wish I could have messed around with the seat to see if I could “make it work” like I always have with Corvettes. The C5 FRC/Z06 was totally no compromise for me. My new C7 will touch my head if I don’t “bucket” the seat, but not nearly as low to my head as the C8 did.
Just going to copy/paste what I wrote on another forum. And I’m not going to dare post it in the C8 subforum, because they tar and feather anyone that dares besmirch the good name of a car that nobody even owns yet.
Here’s a view they would probably not want to play up on the press photos...
The infamous wall. I call it The Trump Wall, because it definitely is meant to say “this is my side, and you stay over there.” To the driver, it’s nice. But from the shotgun position, this thing sucks. It’s not a vertical wall. The top actually leans towards the passenger a little. And it’s pretty tall. You can’t really use the armrest unless you want your wrist and hands to be resting on all the buttons. So you wind up in the let’s get those pit stains going right now, arms scrunched up like I’m in the middle seat between two fat dudes on a Southwest flight position. The infotainment screen is heavily driver centric, so the passenger probably won’t be doing much with the navigation or really anything but their own HVAC controls.
So in a nutshell, it’s a fantastic interior for the driver...so long as the driver isn’t too long in the torso. If you want to buy a C8, don’t take the spouse with you. Because if they sit on that side, the complaining will start before you even sign the papers.
Here’s a view they would probably not want to play up on the press photos...
Not gonna get into the politics but what a bizarre choice that massive divider. Unnecessary, intrusive and just plain strange. Other than that the interior is gorgeous but just...why. The one positive is gonna be reduced glare

WTF, besides looks, people are going to see the C8 to sit in and get a feel of the interior... if they can't fix a power seat for the mobile tour then what a bunch of crap.
