Its shocking how much the look of the C8 is transformed by changing the wheels. This car needs aftermarket in a bad way. Great thread.

Waiting for the Z06 reveal, and if that looks as expected, will be getting a Z06 convertible (so long as they make it).

Agreed. I would walk away before paying it as well, but so long as you tell them you aren't paying for it the choice is theirs to decide.

It'll be about two days after shipping that we will see black ones with red vents, etc.

I'd like to see a more mesh look on them but what do I know.

The aftermarket is going to be all over those rear grills. I bet they even have different "boomerang" shapes and front grill inserts too.

I don't see the green. I just see a brighter yellow than before. Closer to the Lamborghini version than the old school yellow. I wouldn't buy either car.

I do think the new color would look better...

I will be shocked if the wide body look, even if not as extreme, isn't carried over to the Z cars....
