I'm going to use my PTS GT4 as trade bait to get some more leverage in getting a GT4RS allocation.

Doesn't exist, it's hypothetical. He's baiting them because he knows they're reading.

But hypothetically it's amethyst

Seen a few new C8s driving around here. Personally, looks worse in person than in pictures. Looks like an amateur body kit which angles and bumps just to make it look aggressive, but comically so.

I totally agree on this.....the Transformer look! They should grow up and design something modern but at the same time with taste...no wonder values tank so fast, once the fad is gone they need to radically change the design.
I do have to give it to GM that on the C8, on paper, they have build a lot of car for the $$$$$....we will see how well they age.

BTW, design wise...Acura got bit by the same bug. They manage to infuse some GM design into the NSX....not as bad as the C8 but pretty close. Still love the old NSX and its lines.

Saw first one on the road in the flesh this week. Pulled up next to me and rev'd engine. Declined the invitation.

I think the front and profile looks better in person. The rear is hideous. Too wide. The old "golf bag test" ruined it.

I had a lot of those cases down here......funny is when they show up at a track event and they can't believe they just got smoked by a Cayman and/or Boxster....of course that's if they can finish the whole track day without mech problems
