Nice! I would like to drive a C8. Allegedly dealers are now discounting them. Have you had any issues with yours? OT, I toured the Bowling Green facility during C7 production, big difference in comparison to how BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and VW produce vehicles in the U.S. More laid back vibe. Guessing the UAW might have something to do with that?

The only issue I have had so far in the past 1 1/2 yrs was the rear fender had a clip that allowed some movement which was fixed by the dealers recommended body shop while I waited.

It is pretty amazing when I jump into the Cayman and then jump into the Corvette right after, 2 mid engine cars that could not be anymore different. The Cayman is the more tossable one for sure but the Corvette feels like such a machine !!
