C8 Corvette Hoods are Opening at Speed
Imagine cruising down the road in your brand new C8 Corvette. You aren’t hammering the car, just moving along with traffic at 35 miles per hour when the hood pops open and completely obstructs your view. You didn’t touch the button to open the cover for the frunk, but it still opened.

Looks like Chevy did a great job with the new Vette. I read they acknowledged their Corvette loyal base is and has been older-and wanted to reach that younger demographic (opposite of...cough cough Harley Davidson who is happy selling to old doods.) The new Vette looks awesome and will be successful in drawing in young buyers. Its a much better car than the Toyota/BMW Supra and better value. Affordability? With as long term as car financing can be that wont be a problem.


Keep old mopars alive.

I've been seeing these on the road now for almost a year - maybe the past 5 months without camo. I live about 12 miles from the GM Milford proving grounds. To me, they look over-styled & a bit funky. They do not look like "Corvette" to me - they look like a high-performance Nissan something. Rear half of the car looks very boxy. I don't know - they are cool, but they just do not scream Corvette. Seeing a photo is one thing, seeing what they look like going down the road is a whole nother story. I just can't really warm up to them.

I have a friend still waiting on his to be built. It was suppose to be built on Feb. 8 but due to covid it's been delayed. 3 so far have arrived at our dealer.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that my buddy just took delivery of his 2020 'Vette.It was supposed to have the big carbon fiber wing but it wasn't available when his was built so it has the standard wing. Off-white perforated leather. He stopped by today and we went for a ride. It's zippy!

a friend stopped by on Sunday & took me for a ride in his new Taycan - very "ZIPPY" like a slot car

For some reason I can't find a 2020 Viper on Dodge's website... work

For that matter, went to 2 local dealers a few weeks ago to look have a look at a Charger or Challenger (wanted an AWD daily driver), but all I saw was trucks, Jeeps, vans, 1 new V6 Challenger, and a couple of used Chargers and 300s. I guess the move away from cars is almost complete. It's OK, though, because the local Acura dealer had plenty of V6 AWD TLXs on the lot with great incentives... got one sitting in the driveway now - Stellantis lost out because I don't want to drive around in a slug of an SUV every day.

For the record, I've seen a few new Corvettes on the road and I like them, even though I prefer front engine rear drive configurations.

Only looks good in black.

in other colors, not a fan of that black part on the rear intake.

I think it looks a little out of proportion in the rear where the intake sticks out as far as the rear fender.

Hence, I think the ONLY C8 I would like would be the upcoming Z06 or ZR1 w/bulging rear fenders.

And good gawd, the rear wing on the base car is just plain stupid looking.

Other than that, I saw the coupe and 'vert at SEMA 2019....I liked the 'vert better I think.

Still too much wheel gap. Needs lowering.

i've seen a few around and think they look great. i'd drive the hell out of one.


It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

It is quite surprising to see so many nice words about a Chevrolet product from "Mopar" guys.
Every thread about a new Charger or Challenger has about a 50/50 brag versus complain ratio.
