My very late mid life crisis!

I haven’t bought a new Corvette since my ZR1 34 years ago. My favorite Corvette body style is still the mid-years. Be warned though - if you take one of the new ones for a test drive - you just might decide that you’ve gotta have it! It happened to me!

Wow, that is one heck of a car. If I had any brains, I'd get one of those.

Looks like a foreign car

Congrats, beautiful Vette. C8's are my favorite right after the C2's.

Steve Shauger 03-04-2024 02:04 PM

Congrats Bruce it checks all the boxes. Drive it like you stole it!!!

markinnaples 03-04-2024 04:17 PM

I like the new C8's, and I get the disdain for Chevy going mid-engine, but they're amazing cars. Congrats on getting that beauty!

I think the red with tan interior look good together. Nice ride 👍

bergy 03-04-2024 08:12 PM

Thanks guys. We’re getting some nice weather, so I’m able to put some miles on it. The break in period for the Z06 is 500 miles - can’t wait!

mssl72 03-04-2024 08:44 PM

Wow! That's a beauty! Congrats and have fun!

dykstra 03-04-2024 09:09 PM

Awesome Corvette. I know all about a late mid life crisis. I picked up a ZL1 Camaro a few weeks ago because on my late mid life crisis.

markinnaples 03-06-2024 06:50 PM

That ZL-1 is beautiful, congrats.

Nice 'Vette (and ZL1.) I opted for a different route with my midlifer. Obviously not a corner carver (not bad though) but it sure pulls hard in a straight line. Lots of room and very comfortable a bonus.

My 2/3-life crisis car/retirement gift. Still going strong at 1,898 miles as of last week.

My car was ordered with the optional wheels (dealer installed), but I also received the original standard factory wheels with the car. So, I had the extra set of standard wheels powder coated black. I kinda like it better with the black wheels versus the look with the optional wheels that I posted initially in this thread.

I have to say that it's a beautiful Corvette no matter what wheels you have, but I kinda like the first set (though my opinion doesn't matter). I get that a lot of people like black wheels, they're just not for me.

How do you like it overall? A couple friends of mine have C8's and they love them.

Lynn 05-02-2024 03:53 PM

Bruce: In hiindsight, anything you would have ordered differently on this?

bergy 05-02-2024 10:47 PM

Lynn - maybe Z07 for future resale value, but I’m really happy with the car as configured.

Bill - that’s just an old Ford.

olredalert 05-03-2024 02:11 PM

----An interesting "old Ford" none the less!....Bill S

GearheadSS 05-03-2024 02:12 PM

Great car! I like the bronze wheels better.

I would not get a Z07 unless I was going to track it. It's quite a bitter stiffer than a standard Z06.

Any issues with the reflection of the natural dash on the windshield yet?
