It's Brilliant �€"Automobile magazine, October 2019 In what can
only be described as one of many rave reviews of the 2020 C8
Corvette, Automobile magazine continued: It drives brilliantly. The
2020 Chevy Corvette is a balanced, incredibly quick, and capable
thing, packed with performance-enhancing technology optimized by
some of the world's best chassis tuners. Its composure, the
delicacy of its feel, and its holistic execution are perhaps unlike
any other vehicle's in the history of General Motors-and GM has
kicked out more satisfying cars than we have space to list. The
magazine's conclusion: Despite switching to a layout that on its
face would seem to promise a harder-core experience, the C8 is more
sophisticated, more comfortable, and more approachable than any
Corvette that's come before. The Torch red-over-Jet black leather
C8 offered here is essentially brand new, with only 142 total miles
on the car since it was delivered by Joe Lunghamer Chevrolet in
Pontiac, Michigan just over a month ago. As you'd expect, the
condition of the Corvette, front-to-back, side-to-side, and
top-to-bottom is factory-fresh. There are no paint defects; no wear
on trim (including the black body trim); no deviations from new on
interior surfaces; not a hint of a blemish on the wheels; not even
a spec of dust on the engine, its compartment, or the car's
chassis. A few more bits of praise from Automobile magazine on the
drivetrain: The engine: In a nutshell, the engine is a dry-sumped
evolution of the C7's LT1 that uses equal-length exhaust runners
and with myriad assemblies and accessories moved to accommodate the
engine location and to allow lower placement. It makes 490
horsepower in regular trim... (torque is 470 lb-ft with the
exhaust, 465 without) and feeds its fusillade to the rear wheels
via a Tremec-sourced eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. It's a
formidable pairing. This car's color combination (Torch red is an
extra-cost option) is highly desirable, as is the 2LT preferred
equipment package (included features-like the very useful backup
camera-are shown on the car's window sticker available in the
gallery). The option list also includes the almost mandatory
front-lift feature (which raises the car's front end to avoid
damage from driveway inclines), optional red seat belts, and the
chrome exterior badge package (that highlights the brand's famous
crossed-flags identification fore and aft, and the new stingray
icon). The C8's interior fit and finish has been hailed all across
the automotive press. Most of those writers making comments like a
night-and-day difference versus prior Corvettes, and world-class,
right up there with Porsche, Lamborghini, and McLaren. Here in Jet
black, the effect is both classic and a touch sinister.
Well-bolstered bucket seats and the driver-focused console help
take Corvette interiors to that new, world-class level. Deviated
stitching in gray on the dash, seats, console and door trim is a
subtle enhancement. The steering wheel, controls, and infotainment
system are all beautifully executed. Trunks front and rear help
make the car user-friendly. This Corvette comes with the
aforementioned window sticker, a full set of owner literature, and
a car cover. The more than 200 high-definition photographs on the
GarageKeptMotors site faithfully present the car fr
