Sorry if this is an old subject but Roscobbc made me think..... so blame him
Am i the only one that would not buy a C8.
I have always been a fan of the corvette with order of preference
C1 - my dream car which i will get before i die
C2 - split window, no need to say anymore - lottery win required
C3 - love them to bits, my current car
C6 - would love to have a Z06
C4 - ZR1 game changer from the C3
C5 - good looking vette
Now the C8, I don't get it. It just looks like a ferrari/ lamborghini/ maserati/ ford GT40 mk2 clone (lazy design in my opinion) , to me its not a Vette.
To me a Corvette is a car that will start a conversation when parked up, aged 10 to 80 car people will look at and smile. The C8 looks like its trying to hard, if you were not a corvette fan then you would say Ferrari.
When i am out driving my C3 people always wind their windows down at traffic lights and say nice car mate
I think we all know what they would say about a C8 driver and it rhymes with banker
I know you don't buy a car to please other people , but hey i nearly bought a Bentley Continental convertible. My wife and I sat in one at the showroom and fell in love with it - black with cream interior. Then looked at each other and said exactly at the same time " we look like a couple of Prat's" we just couldn't pull it off.
The C8 is an amazing looking car which performs as good as it looks, but to me it will never be a Corvette its just a fantastic supercar with no soul.
Love to hear if i'm the only one
