I test drove a 2LT C8 with the Z51 package this morning. The dealership has it priced 5k under MSRP. The car is nice, but I'm not sure I would enjoy the car long term as I've always been a manual guy. On top of that the 150 hp difference is noticeable. However, the C8s mid engine design and lower weight makes it accelerate just as fast if not faster.
Curious if any other ZL1 owners are or have considered a C8.

Your priorities are different than mine.
I'll list mine in more or less in order
Price
Reliability
HP for straight runs
Looks cool
Safety electronic aids including driving assists
trunk and interior space
far lower on the list:
road track handling
C8 best vs ZL1 that order isn't the same at all. I would give high marks to the C8 on looks cool and road track and dig out of the hole.
Reliability comments get peoples panties in a wad, just like the valve guide problems on the 427 motors. "Mine ain't got nun motor don't make no noise at all" until it self destructs.
I like the C8s for what they are but I won't buy one. Last year I got a daily that does match my list
except looks cool or road track and I won't talk about that here as it is off topic to this thread and get's peoples panties in a wad also.
