Hmmm, was looking forward to finally seeing it in a couple of weeks. But it’s the only NorCal dealer showing and I fear it’ll be the same situation. I may skip it and just wait for things to calm...

In my experience, summer tires are also harder than all season. So this is yet another variable that can be changed.

Our Corvettes always attracted more vandal-type attention than any other cars we’ve owned. I imagine the C8 will be the same. These cars scream “Look at me!” and some people are a-holes.

Absolutely Z51 w/MRC + AS tires. Great ride, handling, and wet weather traction. Not for track day, and don’t need to convince GM to override what comes from the factory, but this is what I’ve done...

Achieving those speeds with a base suspension, AS tires, and no added downforce doesn’t sound like a good idea. In theory or a video game, fine. In reality, not the safest thing to attempt. Z51...

Z51+MRC is for me, but day2day driving will be on AS tires. Previous experience proved summer tires to ride much harder. Great for top performance but on public roads it was a big comfort boost to...

MSRC provides an even higher level of performance. Happens to be capable of a more comfortable ride too.

I like the low Z51 wing best. For the wilder, more track-focused look I like the high wing plus ground effects, but I probably won’t do that. The no-wing look is my least favorite.

For me, a Corvette is all about the handling. Z51 w/mag shocks is a serious handling upgrade. So for me, it improves the primary purpose of the car. Without it, it will still handle better than most...

Magnetic Ride Control can only be ordered with Z51. A good add if you’re going Z51. Base Vette is a nice sports car with great handling. Z51 goes further. After you wear out the first set of tires...

2LT brings a lot of technology that I want. 3LT forces the GT2 seat. I’m tall, so the GT1 seat might be a better choice for me. Therefore 2LT Z51 FE4 seems like the way to go, for me. Oh, and AW....

Saw a post that the GT1 seat looks to be lower than the GT2 seat. I’ll get to see the seat display myself in a month. If so, GT1 might be the way to go.
