So I went over to Bridgewater Chevrolet today in New Jersey and got to see the C8 AND sit in it (I think theyre allowing everyone to do so now).
First off the car is gorgeous in person and way better than I could have imagined from pictures. The rear is absolutely beautiful and nothing like a camaro like some people would say.
Both the stock wheels and spoiler of the Z51 package looked great and were enough to tell me I don't need to upgrade immediately to the high spoiler or other wheels. The rockers and front splitter were like a satin black and was still fine for me.
Some people in here were asking about behind the seat room and there is virtually none...i moved the seat all the way up and forward and took a picture so you can see....maybe you can fit a folder.
I was speaking the Corvette guy for the showcase, I believe his name is Richard (correct me if I am wrong), and asked a few questions.
Q: How long does the lift stay up after activated?
A: As long as you want until you put it back down. You can only raise it or lower it up to 24mph. But once it is raised you can drive around that way if you desire or go offroading (joking).
This is GREAT news as I have longgggg patches of really terrible roads.
Q: When will we finally see Accelerate Yellow?
He said he's seen parts/panels and we should see it within a few weeks. He also described as others have here like a very greenish yellow (tennis ball) but it looks very exotic.
I'm kind of excited to see this.
Next thing regarding pricing, I heard him say (which may have just been a slip) to expect the packages such as Z51 to be comparable to the costs on the current C7. Of course this isn't in stone and he couldn't really talk much into it.
1/4 mile estimates? No clue...
What about front plate states? The black part in the center underneath the front corvette emblem is actually a cover you can pop off and then you would put your plate there.
By the way there is a glove box....I was watching one Youtube review and they couldn't figure out how to open it so they thought there wasn't lol.
Oh and someone actually tried putting their golfclubs in the back ... No they did not fit lol
Heres some pics
