It's not a question but I think worth sharing; a couple of friends who are instructors at Ron Fellows have said that the C8 is the easiest car to drive fast they have ever driven. Both of them are experienced racers.

Even though almost two full years have passed since the debut of the C8 Corvette, what sort of lingering questions do you have regarding the mid-engine Chevrolet?
Put your questions in the comments below, and we’ll select the most pressing ones to answer in an upcoming video review for the C8.

My question is: just how freakin' awesome is it? Is it like 'WAY awesome' or 'TOTALLY awesome'?
My boss landed his late last year. He seems quite happy.

We intend to to the hard-hitting work to rate it on a scale of "rad" to "super gnarly." We've got you covered.
This is one of those times when one realizes the greatness of one's occupation.
I saw one for the first time a couple of weeks ago (we're not a new car kinda town). Best looking Corvette I've ever seen.
That is all.

eww
It's a really cool car, no doubt, but is it a Corvette? For 60 years the recipe was pretty obvious, 2 seats, front engine, RWD, American power. I know the new Mustang Mach E is called a "Mustang" and the new Ford truck is a "Maverick," but are they really true to their namesakes? Of course Toyota is calling a BMW a Supra now too...... even cars are bizzarrely named now.
At least an electric truck named Lightning kind of fits.
Mazda will probably release a 4 door sedan with a V6 anyday now and call it the RX9.
How many hot laps can you run before it gets too hot and needs to stop to cool off? What gives up first, brakes or transmission?
In reply to AnthonyGS (Forum Supporter) :
Zora Arkov-Duntos, effectively the father of the Corvette (started working with the program in 1956/57?), campaigned hard for GM to allow him to build the Corvette with mid-Engine architecture starting in 1960. The production Corvette recipe has always been front-engine RWD, but the spirit of the Corvette has absolutely included mid-Engine layout for 60 years at this point. Definitely, 100% still a Corvette even if it's not called CERV (Chevrolet engineering research Vehicle) in the spirit of Zora's 3 attempts to get it to happen.
