Hey mrben, have you driven the c8 yet? I've not driven or seen many reviews on the stingray, but the base model has been criticized for lack of polishing when it comes to the finer aspects of driving - suspension settings, cornering performance, steering, and braking (both the feedback from the brake by wire as well as the and functionality). Not only that but production quality issues have plagued the car from day 1, not to mention the cluster**************** that is the entirety of the mfg process.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic American interpretation of a Ferrari 458 and for the price it's absolutely the best deal on a super(ish)car out there. As a fellow GM guy though (3500 and escalade in the stalls) I've learned to temper my expectations from the company.
