Default Went with something other than Lexus... a Corvette!

Well, for the first time in the last 14 or 15 years, I went with something other than a Lexus. I went a really different direction and got an American car, first time ever, I got a 2024 Corvette Stingray Z51 and I love it. I still got my RCF but compared to the Vette, the RCF feels almost like an SUV lol but I have to admit, the RCF is more comfy, a much better daily and still very much comparably fast which is why I'm keeping it. I also still got my 20 GS350 Black line but I think I'll be selling it soon if I can get the right price for it, if not I'll keep it because it is such a nice car too.

I have a few pics, not the best but I'll get some nicer pictures together with the F later

wow, awesome, congrats!

love the wheels and the black... i think the c8 is a bit of a funky shape but black helps.

and no doubt the mechanicals are first rate!

Good choice. The Vette is definitely on the list of non-Lexus cars I'd buy. I like the black with red interior as well.

Looks awesome, congrats! How long did you have to wait for it after ordering?

Thanks everyone, the car is really on another level of any car I've ever had... you can't go wrong with the price and what you get. Very happy with it.

It took about 7 months from the time I put myself on the "wait list" until I got the car. Once the allocation was available to submit the order (about a 5 month wait), it took a little over 2 months to get built and delivered and it was right around the holidays so that delayed it a little bit.

No that's the real skyline back there, downtown Miami

Congrats - nice spec!

I still haven’t driven a C8.
Did you consider LC500?
