There is some seriously impressive technology in the C8. Funny to see the old fools whining about how they don't trust the "electronic brake pedal." It's not electronic, there's a goddamn metal rod connected directly to the master cylinder, as you can see in the video. It also has an "electronic" booster and pressure monitoring. Smart.
Nothing wrong with a good, simple pushrod V8.
No manual transmission, which is sad, but I can understand why they did it.

Sounds exactly like Porsche guys when the water cooled 911 came out.
