Default New C8 HTC owner

Have you ever gone to the lumber yard to pick up some things and after a couple of hours, you left with a C7 Z06 and came home with a C8 HTC, 3LT.



Actually on the way home my neighbor who owns our local Chevy dealer called and said he had a C8 he wanted me to see. It’s ac26 model, had 2900 miles on the clock. The price was extremely competitive. After the test drive he offered a decent price on the Z06 and the deal was on. I’ve owned Corvettes since the mid 70s. Currently have a 64 convertible, , 07 z06 and now this C8.
‘I’ve had the fortune to have owned some incredible cars, Ferrari .. Porsche turbo, V12 Mercedes SL65. This C8 is by far the very best I could ever wish for. Compliments every where I go. Took it to Thunder hill raceway this past weekend, literally blew past my best time with the 911 turbo 4s. What a bang, a nuclear bang for the buck!

But were you able to get all the lumber home in the new Z06?!? Hopefully it was cut in small pieces.

Congrats on the newest toy!

OP, whereabouts are you in California? I'm in Elk Grove and planning on going to Thunder Hill and Sonoma soon. It would be fun to meet up for a track day.
