Speed Phenom picks up his Torch Red 2020 Stingray at The Corvette Museum. His delivery guy, Stacy, does an awesome job walking SP through all the features.

Gotta say, I really like the C8 more than I thought I would. delivered our first 2 cars last week and they are stunning. I really want one now.

fwiw, I have more room in the driver seat of the C8 than I do in the driver seat of Gen6 Camaro. I'm 6'5" 300#s. I was shocked by how much room there was for me.

speed phenom seems like a good guy, but it sure shocks me to see someone that young with a C8.
also the youtubers buying C8's so they can do donuts

SPeaking of youtubers buying C8s. TJ Hunt's car is now the best looking C8 I've seen. Amazing what a nice set of wheels does for the C8.

Yeah, that is the one area that the base C8 looks like crap is the fender and wheel gap. Looks horrible.

I'm assuming they will fix that with the Z06 and GS models, but they still could have done a better job with fitment on the C8 base, even the Z51 looks weak.

They need to model the SS 1LE fitment, that is spot on!!!!

The factory has to leave room for snow chains. The aftermarket wheels do not.

I don't think that applies to sport cars. You are not getting snow chains on a SS 1LE, ZL1, or ZL1 1LE
