Would love to see the Adrenaline Red Dipped interior offered on the Stingray as well.
Outside of the interior Z06 badging everything you mentioned may very well be available on the Stingray.
Does the various “carbon fiber like “overlays make the car faster? Nah! One buys the Z06 for the performance and go faster parts. You posers,, buy a Stingray and option it out with carbon fiber filigree with the basic money you save.
Any idea of the Stealth trim will be an option on the base? I’d love to see that.
I’ve always felt that the cheapest corvette was the best corvette. Small blocks were better than big blocks. Plastic better than carbon fiber and blood dripping red leather.
Yep my brother always had the low option Vettes with the 350 horse 327.
Have you ever considered when comparing something like interiors to have the same color interior on a C8 and Z06.
This is not the first time you’ve posted something comparing looks.
The last one I remembered was engine covers one factory NO light one red with the engine bay lights.
Not the best way to compare stuff, very misleading.
What a totally beautiful work of art! WOW!
