C8 Corvette and C8 Convertible Models Trim Levels
One year after the 2020 C8 Corvette debuted, the verdict is in. General Motors was under a lot of pressure to set a new Corvette standard and deliver an icon befitting the 21st century while still appreciating the sentiment of loyal Corvette owners. Reviews by owners of the new C8 Corvette happily report that the Corvette's premiere sports car status has been maintained and maybe even risen to a new height. The C8 Corvette cabin wraps two full sized adults in comfort. The seats hug your body and feel not just luxurious but also like they can handle a performance ride. Hang on tight for the 2.8 second 0 - 60 mph. You are in the rarified air of Ferrari and Porsche performance, yet the C8 has starting price of just $59,995 for the coupe; and $67,495 for the convertible. Headlined by an impressive 490-Horse Power the Z51 C8 package is track capable with a ride quality suitable for the commuter and daily rider. Oh, and there is room for your golf clubs!
