C8 Chevy Corvette: Here's What Owners Are Saying

The C8 Chevy Corvette was one of the most anticipated vehicles in late 2019.

When it launched, it introduced a new design and a mid-engine placement.

The Corvette also retained the mighty V8 engine and upped the performance to 490 hp.

Despite being an impressive sports car, some owners believed that it would have been better,

while others loved its improved handling over the predecessor

Over the years, Chevrolet improved the Corvette, adding more trims like the Corvette

When Chevrolet introduced the Corvette C8 in 2020, enthusiasts yearned for more performance.

As standard, it only had a 6.2-liter V8 engine with 490 hp. Only recently that Chevrolet introduced

In 2020, some owners yearned for more performance from the Corvette,
