In a C&D interview the lead engineer said they gave the C8 all seasons due to owner demand. Owners didn't want the hassle of changing tires once the weather got cold or there was a bit of snow on the ground.

Shmee150 summed up in a quote: At the end of the day supercars arent unreachable. It all depends on a persons commitment and enthusiasm. As with anything, hard work and dedication will get you to the top. I'm sure it didn't hurt that his family founded Burton's menswear and still holds a significant stake in the business.

I see a bunch of crashed corvettes being towed away every winter over here. I actually kinda want to get a C8 myself, but I'll wait for the inevitable AWD variant.

Minto Took posted:It's not like they'll see snow anyway. I daily drive my C6, and the place I worked at in North Carolina when I bought it never cancelled for snow because the company was headquartered in Wichita, so all the Kansan managers were spouting "it's just a little snow, you can't handle it?  "I drove that fucker to work on a solid sheet of ice, because that's what snow in the south is, and laughed at all the cars in the ditch with Kansas plates. Then I nearly binned it at 3 miles an hour in the parking lot.

Even just on rainy roads it's an exercise in how much you can keep the traction control light off. At least in a manual.

Are they at least not run flat tires, or are those just standard on every higher end car now? I have no idea if that trend died out or not.

That's what all-season tires will do to you on the inside of a mountain road turn. Scrubbed just a liiiiiitle wide.

I call dibs on the LT2. Seems like it clipped the Ranger (?) and/or some chevy SUV thing that now appears to be missing the rear axle. There were a bunch of gopros so there should be enough evidence to figure this one out! https://jalopnik.com/this-looks-like-the-first-public-c8-corvette-crash-1837127259?jwsource=cl

Honestly it's really just Pumphery that's bad, Donut's other hosts are fine. Except that douche in the hat, glad they canned his stupid top 10 lists.

Pumphery is fine. This reminds me of the Doug Demuro hate all over again, who is also fine. Also for a thread devoted to the C8 Corvette maybe spend less time on Donut Media. Also in before someone says "no u first".

I can't wait to see the C8 invasion here on Cape Cod, the aging Boomer's seemingly 2nd favorite vacation spot. Only Vegas will be worse.
