I love that car - bugs & all!!!!!!

I like how they look with the wrapper still on them.
Can those wrappers be saved for the buyer without damaging them ?

We do try to save them and pass them along to the customer. They're designed as a one time use cover though. They tear off easily but most of the time we can get them off without damaging them.

And the saving of materials for a future owner begins!!:grin:

What basically amounts to a very exotic, mid engine V8 sportscar loaded up nicely for a
good bit under $100k is fantastic. There will much O/T paid on the Bowling Green line...

Really love this car. I’m normally not a huge white fan, but I really like it with the black accents.

Low Low miles
Only driven for break-in service on a dynamometer
garage kept in the Factory Wrapper !
must sell !

I saw a black one here on the island Tuesday. I must say, they look better in other colours showing off the accents instead of all black. Just my opinion

Stinger stripes, standalone MagneRide among changes for the 2021 Corvette

Quote:

First up, the only mechanical change for the 2021 model year: You can now spec Chevy’s Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 separate from the Z51 performance package. The trick suspension was previously bundled into the $5000 Z51 option, which tweaked the rear end ratio, added Brembos all around, and gave you the sticky summer tires and performance exhaust with some neat aero to top it off. If you’re looking for more of a cruiser than a track rat, but enjoy your share of mountain corner-carving, the 2021 arrangement might save you a few bucks.

However, it’s those who spent the extra dollars that may be particularly excited about the 2021 changes. “A lot of people that have already gotten Long Beach Red will be excited,” Adams says, “since that’s discontinued.” If you bit the $995 bullet, who knows? Maybe your Vette will be just that more alluring come resale time. Instead, Chevy’s adding Red Mist Tintcoat and Silver Flare for 2021. Perhaps you opted for the black wheel center caps with the Jake logo? Treasure what ya got, because those little pieces won’t be returning, either.

Great post Phil. Isn't the HP and torque limited in the first 500 miles on the C8?

Seems almost pointless to track it until all the ponies are unleashed. Almost, but I guess, still tons of fun.

Lynn,

I posted it because the mid engine makes fantastic sound. Running the two cars against each other with factory drivers would be pointless.


A 2019 Porsche 911 GT3 RS ran the ring at 6:56.4

The 2020 C8 Z51 ran the ring at 7:29.9

It is not even close...but that sound! :biggthumpup:

Car and Driver just did a piece on the video here:

Thought I would share some of my pics from Spring Mountain on 10/2. I went for the last day of dealer training for C8 and had an absolute blast. The car really is great. I can't wait to see what the Z06 has in store.

Cool!

danachevroletfor1967 10-14-2020 08:18 PM

Thanks for the pics. Does anyone know what Chevrolet calls the color on that Corvette that I would refer to as Petty Blue, that bright blue color?

Mr70 10-14-2020 09:19 PM

I believe they call it Rapid Blue,a $500 extra cost color too.
Here's all the colors names and prices. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/g2...rvette-colors/

Yeah, but for the first time, I can say the Vette looks better, and for half the price. I think it's a major home run, for once.
Shame it only comes in an automatic.

Lets see what happens when the Zo6 hits the ring, for less dough.

I know everyone says it's an automatic but a dual clutch transmission is not an automatic in the traditional sense. It has no torque converter. It's a manual trans that requires no clutch input from the driver, no stick shift and has the ability to be put into automatic mode. It's a blast to drive in manual with the paddles though. It doesn't act like a traditional auto in automatic mode either. People that aren't used to a DCT will think something is wrong with it in the way that it takes off from a stop and drives in low gears.

After about 2 laps in it, I no longer cared that there was no traditional manual option.

Lynn 10-15-2020 05:11 PM

Looks awesome in white. I want a white one with blue interior.

danachevroletfor1967 10-21-2020 07:52 PM

I saw my first C8 Corvette today while driving. White; it looked nice in white. Couldn't tell what color the interior was as we were both moving and passed each other going opposite ways on a downtown street. A nice looking woman was driving it. Got me to wondering if it was hers or hubby's.
