I am 5'8" 160 31 waist and just fit in the seat. I can't imagine if I were larger and the seat was too tight for me to fit in. There isn't any adjustment for the side bolsters. I expect will be a difficult sell when ready. Just wanted to voice my opinion and advise! I would not have ordered them if I had this info but did not ever see anything listed before I ordered. The car is amazing!

I took delivery last Thursday from Kerbeck in Atlantic City. I had a great experience being one of the first C7 deliveries ever from Sam and Dave for a 2014 -Z51 2LT. It was pretty much loaded. That experience was flawless, so naturally I wanted them to deliver my new C8. I got in pretty late on the 2021 list (#916) but being the volume dealer they are, the queue went pretty fast. I have a beach house in a neighboring town, so I would drop by the dealer frequently to troll through the lot looking at all the color options and configurations. Sam and Dave always treated me with respect (never as a nuisance) and really helped make the whole experience worthwhile. I swear I dropped in over 20 times and they always gave me time to discuss anything related to the C8.

When it arrived off the carrier last week, they prepped the car quickly (even though there must have been 150 new cars on the lot) knowing I had a business trip planned for Rhode Island. I received the car in time for my trip, everything went super smooth, and I am grateful for the tremendous treatment I received from Kerbeck. People talk cr#p all the time about dealers, partly because of their own agendas, all I can say is Kerbeck, and Sam and Dave particularly are superstars in my book.

After my initial 500 mile journey this week, all I can say is that the C8 has exceeded all of my expectations and then some! This is an “exotic supercar”. I loved my C7, this car destroys it in every category!

The handling, acceleration, styling and fit and finish are superior!!! The only thing negative is all the attention it gets. I get stopped 20 times a day by people taking pictures or wanting to talk about the car.

The Red Mist is amazing. I was really concerned about it possibly turning burgundy at night. Those worries are gone. The paint is a chameleon, it has different looks in all different lighting conditions and every single one is spectacular. The flake in conjunction with the carbon flash top is PERFECT!!!

I got the standard C8 but added Mag Ride, Front Lift, GT 2 Seats, jacking pucks, radiator grill covers, front splitter and after-market wheels (Stance SFO3’s from Get your Wheels). All mods were easy, fast and done in one day. When I was changing my wheels out, I was literally offered 20k above what I paid for from a business owner next door. No way…life is short, I want every second I can have with this car.

The Mag Ride is superior to my C7’s. Absolutely get it.

The Front Lift has been used daily, entering garages, steep driveways and navigating road construction. Absolutely get it. Many people on the forum say you don’t need it. I can unequivocally say, living in the North East, I need it a lot!

The Competition 2 Seats are very comfortable and stylish. Absolutely get them.

The after-market Stance SF03 wheels I love!!! What a difference. Its all subjective. But it was a game changer in looks.

The 2LT package is a must. Blind spot warning is a nice and a comforting option when you want to change lanes with confidence, the rear view mirror camera works amazing. The folding mirrors are essential when parking in my opinion. Vented seats are ok. Cool = fair, you need the bottom AC on to feed it. Heated seats and steering wheel are very effective.

The HUD is also superior to the C7’s. Everything in this car is vastly superior to the C7.

After waffling over interior color choices, I simply went black with the white stitching and it looks amazing. Real quality and not gaudy at all. The car has enough going on visually to go nuts with a crazy interior (just my humble opinion). I love the black, it looks really classy and the quality is A+.

If you have a C8 on order or are contemplating getting one. Do it!!! It is amazing in every regard.

If your struggling finding allocations or a reputable dealer, call Sam or Dave at Kerbeck…they will get the job done in a friendly and professional manner (and probably get you the car faster than anyone else).

It has been a horrific /tragic year for me personally, this week has brought me so much joy. I hope the C8 brings you as much joy and pure “fun”. Life is indeed better with this car in your garage.

Finally, I brought my 24-year-old son to pick up the car…he loved every minute of it. After we had a quick lunch at a local restaurant, with 10 miles on the car, I sled the keys across the table and said “go drive me somewhere”, it was a priceless moment to see his reaction (and he drove the car like a pro).
Life is indeed good. Enjoy this car!!! Chevrolet has done an amazing job!!!

Dave Salvatore and Sam Kelley at Kerbeck.

Picking the car up with my son.

Original standard wheels.

Stance SF03 Wheels from "Get your Wheels" Great service and pricing.

Carbon Flash Top Up - Its amazing how it works with a push of a button.

So why did you post the the "I'm starting to worry" thread that you might not be able to sell for more than what you paid soon?
makes no sense.
