I made it to the masks.... enough with the theatrics... or just don't show faces anymore.

 

[speeddemon2000]

Stupid maskers.

GM should have done a widebody in the front too, it looks too much like a stingray.

Closer to this:

Because currently it looks like they only updated the rear and forgot about the front. Of course the engine is nuts. Apparently running 10.6 in the 1/4. LOL @ the people crying about torque.

 

[q6543]

I saw the 10.6 quote also... MUCH quicker than I expected.
I'm also a low torque hater.

Can't wait to start seeing them around town.

 

[UBNZO6D]

That is one ugly color.

Remember the ZR1 and Zora are coming. Maybe those fenders will end up on them?

I agree on that yellow. I don't like it at all! But, you have other/better colors to choose.

If I heard them right, both the front and rear of the Z is 3.6" wider than the base C8/

The C8 GT3 and C8R are almost certainly not road legal from a width standpoint.

It would be plenty within legal width.

I think the car is awesome but they did get lazy with the body

Maybe so, but at 80" wide without mirrors, that is still pretty darn widebody to most.

+1" over the Ford GT
+3.5" Gen 5 Viper
+4.5" GT500


I definitely prefer the GT3 body for sure because race car, but that's just not realistic for a road car.

C8R is narrower than the Senna. So send it GM!

 

[rborden]

I don’t know why but the C8 looks like a cheesy knockoff of a Ferrari and a Lotus.

That is one ugly color.

Looks like someone pissed all over it.
