With hesitation I also traded my pristine low mileage '17 Z06 for the C8 70th. Anniversary Stingray. The Z power is awesome & can be scary. Because of that I wanted a platform that put power to the ground. The C8 did not disappoint. First off, the driving experience was softer & quieter. Secondly, spirited acceleration straight ahead or out of a corner, there was immediate hook up. No spin, no rear end stepping out. Yes, I miss the Z but feel more in control with the C8. NO regrets.

I did the same two weeks ago.......traded my 2017 C7 in for a 2024 C8 Coupe that I had on order for a long time.

C8 is a whole different animal in a good way. ENJOY!

Congrats on the C8! As soon as I saw the framed Time magazine cover in the showroom background, I immediately recognized you were at Craig and Landreth. My wife bought a pre-owned Prius there a while back.

I was there a couple weeks ago and test drove a C7. We might be neighbors; I live near Louisville in Floyds *****.
