I saw a C8 in person the other day, it was black with the rear spoiler option ... in person it really blows way the way the car looks in pictures ...

All I could say is WOW !! They did a really good job and for the price it is incredible !!

That feeling when you scroll past an ad and your brain registers surprise that someone traded a C8 in at a Ferrari dealer already, and then you go back to look...

It is pretty amazing GM did such a nice job on it ... I still can't tell the difference when a C8 is coming at me ... it is a Ferrari or some type of other exotic only to find out it is indeed a C8.

I had heard they are having some bad quality issues though which is not surprising but kinda sad ...

First-year Corvettes have always been pretty rough from a quality standpoint.

Also, wow, the Ferrari California is not a pretty car.

The first few times I saw C7s on the street, I thought they were very Ferrari-looking. I wouldn't say that today, but at the time I definitely would have.

Absolutely, do you remember back in 1984 when they introduced the C4 ... it was horrible but this is 2021 ... GM really needs to step up.

I am trying to put my order together but it is such a pain in the ass trying to order a car you know nothing about, no clue to what are the must have options and I am just way too lazy to start reading the forums.

I think I'll attempt to learn some of them but I might just throw together one and hope for the best. Since when did Chevrolet become like Porsche with all the individual choices.

Good luck. Here is the ordering guide so you can at least see what's available.

And somewhere on the board I guessed you would be the first here to get one. I win.
