it looks very nice, but a corvette is supposed to to be fast on the track.

the camaro is the best engineered and refined platform of the lot, while it's slower ont he track than c7, it acheives that with 2 rear jumper seats, higher ground clearance. also both the tremec mt and 10s at is better on the camaro than either of the corvettes.

i have high hopes for the c8 after a few years and gm learns how to make rear drive cars. OTOH, battery vehicles will takeover as much better sports cars soon.
If you have time, check out some of the videos of Randy Pabst driving a C7 Z06. Then look at the ZL1 video. He is clearly working MUCH harder to drive the C7. Even he admits that the Camaro is way easier to drive at the edge.

I hope the C8 drives better than the C7. I have not driven a C8. And have no current plans to do so.
