But then it will be the first year of the GS, what then? You may as well buy a 2019 manual GS. It's been built for 3+ years and tried and true.

C8 is starting to ship from factory. So when people start to see C8’s curious to how many may make,the change from M2 or Bmw anything.
Seems like quite a machine for the money. Hap |

GS is usually just a widebody and some parts from the Z06 with the standard engine. It was more reliable on the C7 than the initial cars. Me? I wouldn't wait. I'd just get it and enjoy it now.

Yes like going out to buy a black suit and coming home with a yellow jacket and red Bermuda shorts. You'll certainly get attention and probably be able to run faster in the shorts.

And, the Z06 will have a new flat-plane-cranck twin turbo V-8....

I'm trying to decide as well between the C8 and M2C.
The main reason I would buy the M2C is for manual tranny, and slightly lower cost. I really don't like the cheap interior of this car...especially when the're asking 80K+. The C8 has a fresh and attractive exterior design which will certainly turn heads. And that interior is absolutely amazing. The only drawback is the DCT and slightly higher cost if you don't get the Z51 pkg. Also, leasing details are not available yet. |

Not even close bro, in terms of performance anyway. Comfort is subjective though so why not.

3 lights of racing. One bad shift on my part led to 2 of 3 wins for Bavaria. Just my experience. Maybe he had bad spark plugs and some bad rubber. I'm pretty unfamiliar with the c7 platform but, I'm sure a 2 seat v8 with substantially more rubber and an auto is lots quicker around most every track. The looks, over saturation, and lack of practicality never gave the c7 a chance for the performance daily in my book.. The c8 however.. that's a different story altogether. |

The other factor might be that in normal settings the Auto will start from 2nd gear. It needs to be in the right mode to launch hard, so I think more user error to blame. Last edited by 5.M0NSTER; 03-20-2020 at 06:49 AM.. |

A stock 6 speed M2C does 0-60 in 3.9. I would say generally it's a drivers race when you're on the street. Both cars will spin the wheels on a unprepped surface, so unless you're not on a race track, it would go either way.

Base C7 listed on Chevrolet.com says 0-60 in 3.7.
