"Pro" means he is being paid by GM...so yeah I'll take what he says with a grain of salt.

No way is the C8 bad looking. In person it is stunning. Reasonable people may like other cars better, of course, but these kinds of comments are silly.
Glad Ollie likes the handling. Looking forward to seeing some Ring times.

Man is that a 70s color scheme if I ever saw one... otherwise yes, I would hope it would handle well... like wtf was the point if it doesn't.

Before BOP started dialing it back, it was dominant after working out the initial kinks in the first few races. That's a likely case study for what to expect with C8R.

Did you guys expect Ollie to say the car was trash?

It's probably just me, but, unlike the C7, I greatly prefer the looks of the C8's in darker colors. I prefer the C7 in lighter colors. Go figure.

GM is playing the Porsche game which is great... I have always been amazed and how well the 911 carrera s performs with only 420 HP. Big HP is great.... but worthless if you cant get the power down efficiently.

The exterior is fine... it's that interior color... never liked it on anything... I like shale,(light) grey or black... I'm also too messy to keep up with anything else lol.

So Glad You Asked! ;)
I contend the reason GM isn't as eager as they used to be to share in-car video at The Ring is because we can pull segments for comparisons with anything easily.
