It is very docile to drive, not as fast as people give it credit for. Smooth to drive, turns and handles very well. Not creaks or rattles for the most part.

Killer looks, breaks neck still, had a few people snapping pic in traffic, (a little unsettling). Going to do exhaust to help reduce the extreme heat from the cats, wheels and drop it a bit for less 4x4 look.

So far I love the car a ton.

continuing an amazing week I got to take this for a few days. The C8 is an absolute weapon.... stupidly fast and error proof, an amazing car!

My first thought was "what kind of crack is he smoking?" But then I guess when they first came out the HP varied between 400 and 460, which by todays standards is not a ton. Over the years, things increased to 500 and ultimately to nearly 650hp which is quite a bit even today for production cars.

But per wikipedia, the 0-62mph was 4.2s, and the quarter was run @ 12.6s both of which are still pretty darn fast.

Absolutely gorgeous car. I’d love to have one but can’t bring myself to own anything made by Chrysler ever again… I sincerely hope it treats you better than my Dodges treated me.

I've driven several and even a few Hennessey Editions.. The torque is amazing but while it is fast, it really doesn't "feel" fast because it is so docile.. but don't let that fool you.

It really is a very driveable car, docile is the word I have used with several people as well.

The Corvette is a surprise. I expected it to be good based on the reviews over that last few years. It is shockingly good!!!
