C8 CORVETTE

come over to Pittsburg and drive my new (old) 458!

 

I consider the engine in the 458 Speciale and SA to be the pinnacle of ICE...possibly forever.

Any more photos or anyone purchase the car in metallic brown? I like that color for some reason and Im usually Anti brown cars...

So far they haven't made one in production. So the only thing you can do is google C8 corvette Zeus Bronze and see the prototype.

Seems to me all the first run cars were white, red, orange, black, metallic blue, and ceramic gray. Almost no silver. No Long Beach red , yellow, rapid blue, or Zeus bronze yet.

Zeus Brown looks great with the all natural interior color IMO. Seen several around here.

 

Also the Pewter wheels instead of silver.

If this were a Ferrari color combo Fchat I think would love it. Looks something like 60's Ferrari colors.

 

The bronze with camel interior was what I was hoping to see. a convertable may look a bit 360ish... a gentlemens racer. very cool!

 

No ‘verts for awhile

 

Yah I'm sure 2021 MY now. They have so many coupe orders to fill first and adding Verts will slow down the line.

 

Did you feel that the gas pedal had a lot of travel? I found myself adding a lot of pedal thinking I was close to the end and then as I'd work the pedal down a bit more I realized there was a good bit left (more than I anticipated). It feels like a falling rate throttle as well...where the first 50% of the throttle gives you 80% of the blade movement. I think they got the steering feel per mode dialed in incredibly well. Light and simple in tour and heavier with great feedback in track.

If you're bored and want to hear some C8 straight pipe goodness on a road course, skip to the 1:00 mark and turn your speakers up.



Full disclosure: I'm doing the driving.

I too really like the bronze! Was also wondering why none have been seen out.

 

They’re all great. What a beautiful car.

 

Friend of mine took these vert pix yesterday at the waterfront here in Mich. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Can’t quite tell from the plate GM car or production car???

 

M plate = company car

 

You should post them on the vette sight. There's almost no long beach red cars and this might be the first Vert.

 

Sure, which site?
I’m not a member on any of the Vette sites, but you’re more than welcome to post them yourself.

and notice body colored side blades (definitely like it, tough choice)

 

Oil change (I didn't know oil level is checked while the engine is running - dry sump system)
2:20 drain plug?! You see the size of that thing?! (that's what she said (sorry))

 

That's my post. LB red is being dropped next year so that car is pretty rare. Its hard to say how many LB red C8's will be made (if any) but probably not one convertible.

 

Dry sump. There has never been more anst than with dry sumps. WSM's need to be read and followed. Some DS motors running to check. some to temp /shut off/within X minutes. Over fill usually means oil sucked in the intake and fouls motor trigger mils etc etc make tail pipe smoke, fouls sensors.

 

Thanks for posting that.
Had to laugh in the comments, someone wanted the VIN!
