    I just got on the list for a 2021 Convertible to split with a different buddy. Two halves will give me one to play with most of the time.

    Sorry if this has been mentioned before but can you get a C8 without that ugly looking rear spoiler? I just can’t seem to wrap my head around it

    i saw the new c8 up close yesterday.
    dark gray paint has a bluish tint to it.
    two tone black red interior looked great. owner said you need to specify red seat belts otherwise you will get orange belts w red leather. his red belts matched perfectly w the red leather.
    carbon fiber roof looked great.
    the boomerangs were painted black as the factory ran out of carbon boomerangs.
    high wing looked good. does not stand out as much in person as in photos.

    I think the owner was mistaken, black seatbelts are standard, the 2020 Corvette catalog shows only black or red belts as available with red interior

    Never heard of such a thing being available. Of course, I haven't set foot into a Chevy dealership in eons, and the pandemic has discouraged me, too. Do dealerships still give out brochures? How many pages would the one for the public be?

    Yes, some dealers have them, I’ve found that some dealers are more particular about who they give them out to and you have to ask for a Corvette brochure, so I just ordered last week from the NCM, mine came in the mail this week, it’s nice thick card stock, I think it’s 68 pages, nice photography, nice presentation. Some folks have said they got the same one for free from their dealer

    Like they say- "The proof is in the pudding." Looks like the engineers used their "extra time" last year to sort out a lot of small issues the public will never know even existed.

    You know blade silver is not unpopular either. Its running about 5-6% of the orders which is close to most other than red and white. Its in the middle. But I think its a marketing bit to get it to look like the color of the race car.

    IMO, the best way to see a design of a car is in silver -- take all the emotion of color out of the equation and just look at the forms.
