And nobody still makes a car as good looking as a C3 Corvette. Everything else takes second place.

A buddy recently took delivery of a C8. I like my C3 better.

Yeah.....that C8 looks pathetic compared to the C3, no matter how well it performs. Too big, too much drama....to European. I will take a classic C3 any day.....even if you gave me a C8, I would sell it and buy another C3. Besides......they don't even have the smarts to put a manual transmission in that abortion. Anyways.....thats my opinion.

It's interesting how the length proportions of the C8 and the C3 are reversed.

The new Vettes are great and are slightly different than most ....

but the body styling of the early C3 has NEVER been equaled.

Mine recently turned 53. I’ve owned for 20 years and have never “lusted” for a change. Like my ‘94 HD Sportster, it just feels and looks and sounds right. Absolutely a personal opinion. The memories are priceless to me though.
