I got my deposit back from Stingray after waiting 18 months plus. No need to buy a C8. I’ve moved on to PHEV SUV and will buy a C8 when I can get one for under MSRP like the old days. Corvettes have...

I’ve been on a list since March 2022 and was just offered a Z51 allocation yesterday but declined. I have a feeling they won’t be calling me back for months. I just don’t want a Z51.

I figured the thread would spark debate. I still am in line to buy a C8 but like always it’s a base model. I’ll pass on high priced ultra fast options as I don’t race and you can’t use the power on...

Yes. Wife drives Cadillacs and the dealer experience is way better than Chevy. I wouldn’t put her in a Chevy because of the dealerships. They would not know how to treat her and I’d hear about it.

PHEVRay?

I’d love a plug-in hybrid Corvette with at least 35 miles of range. I have a 2013 Volt and a 2023 Outlander PHEV now and really like the smooth EV power and options with gas backup.
Most of my...

I have owned airplanes over the years and the joy of ownership definitely isn’t tied directly to the number of hours flown.

I remember when you could get locked or banned for mentioning the C7 tail lights. I guess that is no longer a problem.

Waterless wash

I’ve been waterless washing my C7 and wife’s CTS for over a year now and am super happy with the results. I use Griots and plenty of high quality micro fibers with a soft one to final buff.

I am a big fan of Android Auto and would never buy a car without support in the OEM head unit. I had a 2016 with PDR and it doesn’t compare to Android auto. I also don’t like aftermarket units. So...

I always trade my Corvette in when I buy another new one. I think many new Corvette owners do the same. So if you want a nice one get it at the dealer certified pre owned and it will be a one owner...

For a while I wanted to wide body mod my 2013. I am so glad I didn’t. It will reduce the value of the car, take a long time to do, and you’ll probably be “over it” in a while.
