This is a feature not a problem. The cracks and pops are actually pretty tame on the C8 compared to many other performance cars. It should have MORE!!!

The C8 with magnetic ride is SOOO soft and compliant... even in track mode... that a bit of stiffness from a larger wheel won't be a bad thing. I drive my car in track mode 100% of the time for two...

The need to justify not wanting to spend any money on a PPF makes this your opinion not fact. :D

It's funny you call it a "tremendous expense". In my view, buying an expensive sports car to let...

This is a great summary. Film protects the car from chips if that matters to you. The ceramic coating makes the car WAY easier to clean and it looks great. It's also super cheap and you can easily do...

Any pictures other than the ones from their website? Do you need to remove the rear fascia?

GM can plan to "dominate the European marketplace with EVs" all it wants but that doesn't mean it will happen.

No offence but this is B.S.

The DCT is absolutely up to the hype. Shifts are instantaneous up and down. It's like suggesting someone misuses a MT and the MT is the problem. I drive my C8 in manual...

Wax is a great option if you are prepared to prep the car and reapply it every month. People use ceramic and nano coatings because you can literally apply it and forget it for at least a year. It...

Why does it matter if the 911S is underrated in power? You seem to be harping on that but it isn't relevant. Whether it's 443 or 475, the 911S is just a lot faster. Porsche could change its published...

We can disagree :)

Since when does 65 additional HP in and of itself make it a different model? It's effectively the same engine just tuned differently. In my view, the 911 and 911S are both the...

Agreed except the 911S is general trapping higher... it's carrying more speed at the 1/4 and pulling away from the C8.

A 911S is no different than a C8 Z51. The 911 and 911S are BOTH the base cars in that model line up and simply different variants of the base car. The same as a C8 and C8 Z51. The 911 GT3 is the Z06...
