The C8 is spectacular. I own one. The key to making it look its best is to omit the splitter/spoiler that comes with the Z51 package (or don’t get the package), and get body colored trim pieces (no black boomerang on side). Performance is off the charts, and I will never get it close to its limits. If not a C8, a C2, pref. 65, 66, 67 with disc brakes, 4-speed, and a/c. My car makes me happy. It’s just a ‘thing’, I realize, but wow, what a thing it is... Have fun looking around!
I’m leaning hard on the C8. They’re actually cheaper than the C7 Grand Sport and Z06s. For whatever reason they’re not holding their value and I’m seeing low mileage 2021 - 2023s with 3 and 4 owners. Makes you wonder if the car is too much, outside what they expected or just scared.
Picking one up in the high 50s to low 60s with low mileage is not uncommon.
