Default C8s in the Wild – Who Else Is Playing Spotter? 👀

Alright… is it just me, or has spotting a C8 in the wild become its own little game?

At first it was like spotting a unicorn—now it’s more like, “Wait… was that one?!” followed by an unnecessary neck snap and possibly missing your turn.

Figured it’d be fun to start a thread where we can all share our random C8 sightings out in the real world—parking lots, gas stations, highway fly-bys, or that one you awkwardly circled twice just to confirm the spec 😂

If you catch one during your normal travels, snap a pic and throw it in here. Stock, modded, clean, dirty—it all counts.

I’ll add any I come across as well. Let’s see what everyone’s spotting out there… 👍

Was out doing my daily bike ride and spotted this Z06 parked that had me stop and take a photo. Looks pretty sweet.

Meh.... I live in a town of but around 9,000 people, about 60 miles from Dallas. There are at least 6 C8s here.

I've only seen one so far in my area. It was during a rain storm and out of state plates. We were in my Tacoma.

I would not win any prizes. I have millions of people around me and I rarely see a C8. I see Porsches every single day and McLarens are also pretty frequent. But a C8 is almost a unicorn around here for some reason. Porsche Cars of North America HQ is located here but that can't be the reason why I see so many of them.

I saw a pink one yesterday, but was not able to get a photo. Lots of C8s around here, but the pink one is fairly unique. She has owned several generations - all pink with Pinky in script on the rear fender.

Never seen a C8 wrapped in Pink. I have seen a C8 wrapped in complete Chrome. Was a 1st for me. There are many C8s wrapped in exotic things. If you spot one and can take a photo please share.

Can’t say I see a C8 every day or even once a week, but I know there are a number of them in this area. Just a matter of having the correct timing.

Few and far between around me, but I'm in the sticks. Funny thing is there seems to be another Caffeine running around the area as I've seen one twice about 6 months or so apart, but on the same road local to me. There's a member here that's about 10 miles from here with a blue Z06, but I haven't seen it out in the wild. I've seen an orange one and a white one locally a couple of times.

Pretty common here this time of year. See at least 4 per day. After all the C8 has been around awhile since 2020 .

If you spot one and can safely grab a pic, please share it here. I know some areas have rare sightings while others are full of them—would love to see what’s out there in the wild.

Pretty common in western NY too. See more c8s than c7s, which makes sense since more c8s have been produced.
