But at the same time i see hypersonic and then elkhart blue on the z06 and that looks so insane.

I think i have my mind set on torch red though for the z06. Since it'll be a forever car i think i won't get bored with red on a car like the z06.

How can you live in NJ and drive a red Z06? I sincerely wish you good luck!

What does the color have to do with Jersey?

I have a white z06 and I can’t go 3 blocks without a thumbs up, someone breaking their neck or someone staring. I’m used to that attention.

This will just be like that times 1000.

I have lived here my whole life. Have had 4 red cars in that timeframe. Never had anything like that happen to me. Lucky maybe? I'm in very south Jersey.
E-46 Red M3
1991 300Zx turbo
2017 Range Rover. Piece of shit😳
2015 GTR. Had it for only 6 months

I'm done with Red anyway. Look like a fire truck coming down the road🚒🚒

Car theft in NJ is common no matter the color.

Both of my friends who had their car stolen, both were not red. One was black, the other was destroyer gray.

I had red cars before, never had a speeding ticket.

Plus how can you not like a torch red C8Z? Fucking screams supercar!

Yes, for the options that *I* want, it's not worth the $

I miss the previous Corvette models, with their curves and aesthetics. Newer generation has way too many triangles, sharp edges, etc.

Those were plastic disasters though, as far as interior.

C3 was probably the best-looking one, too bad it's supposedly a dog to drive and had many prbs.

Speeding ticket frenzy is some kind of fake thing that comes up every few years, it's never been true. Car theft, can't say it's a problem I've noticed. Maybe in Newark or Camden. Never met anyone that's had their car stolen in 20 years in NJ.

I think the tri-state area and North Jersey is one of the better places to speed because there's always enough volume that you get a heads up, and everyone is already going 85 anyway.

AlexFL · 08-20-2022, 03:21 PM

I don’t know why but the sound reminds me of the Yamaha R6 motorbike.

Really? I mean, it sounds good yea, but an angry flat six from a GT series is still unbeatable in my book.

G30M · 08-20-2022, 07:04 PM

might be a spur of the moment thing.

i still think the R8 or the Huracan sounds the best

Go pro's never really pick up great audio. Because it does sound a bit different than the other few in cabin audio of the C8Z in previous short videos.

But don't forget this is the stock exhaust lol.

I'm already keeping my eye out on some companies ready to offer an exhaust for this car. Going to buy one as soon as they're available, even if i didn't receive the car yet.

Oh really? That's cool to know from an actual owner. I just got the (erroneous?) info from YT. Beautiful cars, they should've made a revised version instead of this C8 thing (not a knock against that cuz it's hard to compete w that and the previous gen). I have a feeling they're going kill it in a good way in the future revision.

Humdizzle · 08-20-2022, 09:45 PM

it does sound good. similar to the 458, perhaps even a little better as it changes tone a bit near redline.

We already knew it sounds great. GM has not given us many specs that should already be out. What s crap show. Also, still not super car.
