1) The Accolades For The C8 Keep Racking Up
In an era where negative voices tend to take over social media, it’s always refreshing when the professional automotive journalists step in to add some sanity to the discussion. And as of late, they have been doing that in spades. Let’s get right after the newest accolades for our beloved C8.
- Motor Authority designates the C8 Z06 as the “Best Car to Buy 2024”, with accolades like, “The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 wins first and foremost with a truly special engine that acts like it came from an exotic Italian automaker” and these dual-clutch transmission praises: “It’s incredibly responsive and keeps power at the ready in any scenario.” For a deeper dive, click here for the full Motor Authority article.

2) The C8 Market is Finally Normalizing!
What used to be an anomaly during my daily devouring of social media has now become, dare I say, commonplace. It wasn’t too long ago when I could go weeks, sometimes months, without hearing any reports on the popular Facebook pages about a deal below MSRP. Oh how the tables have turned, which of course is GREAT news if you are shopping for a new, or used, C8.
Here is just a snapshot of what I’ve seen around the community:
-
“Brand New 2023 Corvette 3LT Convertible Offered for $10K Off MSRP”
-
“2024 Corvette Stingrays Offered for Below MSRP; Z06 ADMs Coming Down”
