Crazy that the Corvette needs such an aggressive alignment to be really get dialed in. The juxstaposition of the two alignments really means this car is either good on the street and bad on track or bad on the street and good on track.

Not a bad color, but doesn't really suit a corvette.

The stock wheels are of terrible look and quality - reminds you quickly that this is just a GM car. But he gets new Vossens.

At least they're not chrome (err, polished) anymore, but yeah, still bad. Some GM cars, the ZL1, ZR1 and others have decent wheels though, just not the C8.

Ha, no. Although it does look like something that could be dug up.

Huh? Not only do these guys suck, what does the alignment have to do with it being a crummy car? Street alignments are about stability and tire wear, not ultimate track handling.

Miata's, universally hailed as one of the best handling cars in existence, run tons of camber, even with a dual A-arm setup that gains camber in compression.

I ran like -3.2° up front and -2.5° out back on RComps, and the 200TW tires are basically RComps these days as well. And that's very common. Most start at -3° upfront and some go as high/low (however you want to look at it) as -4° upfront.


Keep in mind most magazine writers and YouTuber's are the equivalent of novice/HPDE 1 when it comes to speed and skill (outside of the few like Pobst), they just write well or put together videos some find intriguing.

Pretty sure that's Zeus Bronze. Not a wrap. Looks better in the sun but definitely a weird color for a Corvette.



Reminds me of the brown you used to see on the R32 GT-R. I'm hoping the Z-models come in crazy colors like bright green, purple, orange, etc.

Yep, and it needs a wrap to hide the colour.

This color isnt great, but I think against the yellow calipers is the thing that makes it look worse.

I have not yet driven a C8 Corvette yet. I personally don't think I'd ever buy one, but the C8 car is the most intriguing thing they've done. It's worth a look, no? I just dislike the idea of having a car that understeers terribly (based only on reviews) and needs a really aggressive alignment to handle well on the track. You think it's a crummy car?

You're ageist.

I think the color would be fine for wheels. This guy gets it.

The colors? I do think the wheels are too large, but like the colors. Are you old enough to like the brown?

I'm middle aged and I'm nowhere near old enough to own a car that color.

The wheels are more copper than bronze and I don't like that color. Yes, I do like the bronze color of the Corvette. It would not be my choice, but I do like it.
