I live in the Silicon Valley area. When I got my C8 over a year ago there were only three others that I would see regularly. Now I see C8s on a daily basis. I was in SoCal last week and saw 2 parked in my hotel garage. The shop where I got my C8 lowered said they have seen about 8 more come in for lowering and they aren’t a Corvette shop.

22 Hypersonic Grey HTC
Austin C8's
Not a C8 owner yet(saving pennies for 2022 (I hope); but I still have a 2002 Z06 that I purchased 20 years ago).
I saw only my 2nd C8 on the road today here in the San Antonio area. I saw a Accelerate Yellow last month and a Bronze C8 today. Not counting dealerships or car shows, how many C8s have you seen in your locale?

After a hail storm that broke the windshield in three places but it’s like new now!
What color did you see in San Antonio? I drive mine to work there and it’s an Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic Z51 coupe.

I see at least one or two a day now... The guy who just moved into a new house 3 houses down from me across the street has one. I have to believe that Florida has more Corvettes per capita than any other state.

I’ve see less than 10 on the road in this area (east of Dallas).

North of Dallas I see maybe 1-2 or less per week. Very rarely I will see 2 in one day and then I won't see any for a week or 2. In my immediate area I know there are a half dozen owners+

On the road, I see about 1 to 3 per week. Probably the same ones on my morning or afternoon commute down here in SE Florida. Hopefully I'll be one of those in 2 months.

2020 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
In LA I would say you can see one on the road daily without even driving much. Not as common as C7's but in a year I would say about as common.
Not that many HTC's though. I've only seen one other than mine so far but I know they are out there. I think only about 15% of all C8's so far are HTC's but that number is moving up.

I've seen a few around but not many.
Saw 2 at the golf course I play a lot, both blue. One is Elkhart Blue and he's there every Saturday. The other one was only there once, a Rapid Blue.
Strange seeing such an expensive car at a muni golf course, not in very good shape, and pretty cheap to play, especially now in the Summer months.

I saw three last Friday. White, Black, and Long Beach Red here in south Florida. Took a 3000 mile trip to NY last month and only saw two. Torch red and Torch red. Mine is a black HTC. Have not seen a HTC in the wild yet.
