A "jet fighter for the road." Wasn't the C4 "an F16 for the freeway." Once again, the engine compartment is being styled, something else that hearkens back to the early C4. |

It looks like the C8 has at least a decent amount of luggage space—both front and rear. A front lift system can lift the nose up to two inches. |

0-60 in under 3 sec. That means when driving around Homestead I can get from 0-35 in about 2. 8 speeds of which I would probably only use 3 at most. Unless of course you can get to some open road. Now that's where the Corvette will shine.
