You got my vote for best looking C8 ever. It looks like a missile. Mine will be very similar except a coupe. Sent my deposit 12 days ago. Only 15 months or so till delivery. Ugh!

First road trip to Savannah, haven't hit the break in point yet.
What a difference compared to my C5 coupe in comfort and performance.

Same here! I had been hoping beyond hope they would bring back the Admiral Blue for 2021, but no dice. Most incredible color ever on a Corvette, IMO. The C4 GS was a beautiful car.

Exactly... I have said this so many times....I think it's a youngster thing..... give me a nice 5 spoke polished wheel. That's why I am ordering with the stock wheels. They are perfect for me.

I agree. i was back and forth between black and sterling silver stripes. I ended up with sterling silver. I have seen many pictures with that color combination in various light and I really like it. it was really close.

Mine on order I haven't noticed one with my interior here. That's fine by me. Except my interior will not have the suede.

Finally was able to catch an Elkhart Blue car at a local dealership. Still have a couple months to decide on a color, but this is at the top of my list!
