There are lawyers involved so the understeer on the base model (with or without z51) is not surprising to me. My problem with the c8 is partly the interior layout (button row is annoying in real life) and primarily that don’t think I could fit with a helmet on with the roof installed. My head was right at the mounting holes without the helmet with the seat all the way down. Maybe the comp seats go lower as these were gt2 seats.
Either way I’m canceling my order. I just don’t think the c8 z51 will be enough to beat my zl1 1le. I’ll reconsider when the grand sport and z06 are out though.
