My one fear is the cockpit won't be big guy friendly. The c6 I once owned was a tight fit, and uncomfortable. If the c8 is the same then I may not be a buyer for it.
Check the C8 forum at Corvetteforum.com. Someone posted a pic of themselves sitting in one. Claimed to be well over 6 feet and hefty and there was lots of room.

Dealers are hosting touring examples and many are allowing people to sit in them. Maybe a dealer near you will be doing that. Schedule posted in that forum. Note: people are saying some dates are wrong but not which dealers, so call any you plan to visit to confirm the date.

I love my 5.0 GT but If I'm going to spend 60k+ on a car and I know a mid engine C8 I meet on the road will kick b=my behind from one light to the other then there's no way I'm getting a GT500 with ADM 100k price. Let's all accept the truth. Corvette has significantly changed the game here, I know which car I'm buying next in 2021. Corvette C8 for sure. And my goodness, it looks so so much better.

A C8 parked next to a GT500, the C8 looks more like the luxury car and it will cost less. Just hard truths

I feel bad for all the 350 owners who thought they had something very special. Chevy just turned the 350 into the red headed step child.
True. And I feel more sorry for those who paid over 100k plus for them with ADMs. In retrospect, it was a daylight robbery Ford pulled on all of them.

There are some rumors going around that the GT500's 760hp is actually wheel hp. If this is true this is a new game changer. This could be fords answer to the C8. If it is true it is easily a six figure car. Unfortunately it does nothing to help the 350

Huh? What are you talking about? The C8 vs GT500 comparison is pointless. Would you compare a base v6 Challenger to a Demon?

Wait until the Z06 or ZR1 comes out to compare it to a GT500.

Base C8 is more comparable to the GT350 both in price and horsepower.

What are you talking about 6 figure car? A Z06 C8 will prolly be a little over 100k as the current C7s top 6 figures depending on how optioned too.

Man your post is all over the place.

Not really. Maybe you have not read the other 700+ post or seen youtube or facebook or how about the entire internet,but the GT500 is being compared to the C8 just about everywhere on the planet.

You may want to wait for the Z06 or ZR1 but the rest of the world is not on your schedule.

Next line does not even make sense. Read what I quoted I was talking about a GT500 new Z06,s can easily be had for mid 70K. No where near 100K anymore.

Post was direct and to the point.

Okay, provide a source that backs up this rumor. I'm still not sure why you're obsessed with the 350 though.

No guy the youtube dildos are talking about both because they are both the OMGITSTHENEWTHING!!

2nd I dont trust clickbait youtube douchers for any kind of metrics! LOL!

3rd point the GT500 cost wayyyy more than the base C8 FACT.

4th sure the Z06s can be had for mid 70s lom ummm sure show me some. You must be talking about the ones GM is liquidating because of the coming C8.

5th Ill bet the Z06 C8 once available in a price package in the mid 70k range like the GT500 would get absolutely obliterated in every single comparison you wish to dream up.

Apparently you dont grasp the = price vs = price comparisons.

GT500 costs wayyyyy more than a damn base C8 so why do you clowns keep trying to compare a GT500 to a BASE C8!!!!???

You maybe bipolar with ADHD I must study you more. LOL

Check out kerbeck corvettes 30 Z06's for sale as low as 69k no where near 80k. Not obsessed with 350 just don't think it is worth the money if I did I'd have one. 350 is just overpriced for what you get compared to what else you can get for the same money.

GT350 prices are worth it for the Voodoo engine alone. It is theeeee greatest sounding American V8 ever period.
