Good video, thanks. I might be interested in the C8 if they could just add a few more body creases. That interior, too, it’s just, well. I can’t find the right adjective.

My favorite Corvettes are all ‘72 and earlier. The early sixty interiors were a total wow - for me.

I thought about keeping my 991.2 and getting a C8 for the track, but the interior (steering wheel in particular), the numerous build quality issues and a change in tax law in IL (tax break up to '19) sent me to the 992.

Agree - the c8 is just awkward looking. The rear quarter view is unfortunate. I have a soft spot for those early era C3s, like the '68. So clean and genuinely exotic looking without having to try too hard.

I’m anxiously awaiting a Porsche sanctioned performance kit for the C2S taking HP up 50-65 and TQ up 60-70ft#s. That would likely be competitive with a C8 Z06 when those hit the street in 12-18mos.

It looks to me like an American trying to duplicate an Italian interior and coming up way short.
