Wonder when there will be someone to actually build them? ---

Looks like after Matt’s erection wore off he was more critical of the interior. How do you define a “level 3 touch point”…? ---

It’s just one of the ways in which the Corvette’s cabin is nicer than the 911’s, a sentence we feared we’d never get to write. The Corvette’s notoriously cheap materials, gaping panel gaps, and persistent smell of glue have all been banished—and this was in an early-build car, no less. The previous Corvette generation showed us Chevrolet could afford to give the car both performance and a nice interior, but the C8 has skipped straight past nice and into proper supercar territory. The leather is the best we’ve seen and felt in a Corvette by a wide margin, there’s no cheap-looking hard plastic anywhere (well … the cupholders are a bit of a wince), and the seats (midgrade GT2s, in this case) strike a balance between comfort and lateral support that even some supercar builders don’t get right.

I’m more excited about watching C7 prices plummet than I am about a base model C8. In 6 months they’ll release teaser photos of GS’s and/or Z06’s. They will look 10 times more aggressive. ---

Agreed, the performance of the base and z51 are awesome but the look still doesn’t do it for me. ---

Am I the only one that is over the 0-60 times when it comes to cars? I feel like this is something that’s been a target point for way to long rather than looking at say a 0-100 time. At one point I felt 0-60 at 2.8 or 3 seconds was ridiculous… but now so many cars are doing it. It’s time to step the game up and say who can get to 100mph the fastest. ---

Until the speed limit is 100mph magazines won’t report 0-100mph times because it may encourage breaking the law!!! ---

How about 80 then? Plenty of highways in the states that have 80mph speed limits. However we are talking a sports car designed to be driven on a track. I don’t see why reporting 0-100 would be a problem. ---

Anyone can gear a car for a 0-60 time. It’s getting up to the 120+ mark the fastest I feel should be concentrated on with super cars now. Let’s be honest, pretty much all super cars or like super cars are already putting down 3 second 0-60. It’s becoming the norm. > **[2 Second Cars 0-60 Times | Find Cars with 0 to 60 Times from 2-2.99 Seconds |...](https://www.zeroto60times.com/2-second-cars-0-60-mph-times/)** > > Find Cars with Two Second 0 to 60 Times Find cars that accelerate to 60 miles per hour between 2-2.99… ---

Do people even read test results, or just look at the headlines? carANDdriver posts 0-100 , 0-130 (for cars that are capable) on almost all their instrument and comparison tests.
