When the C8 comes out with their next engine package I expect it will shoot up in the minds of people cross shopping, but at the moment I'd take an M4 or even M440 over the C8 hands down. It's awesome for what it is, but the M4 is at LEAST just as awesome and far easier to live with.
That being said, since we're talking about the C8, one feature I love about it that I wish certain manufacturers with on-the-fly-adjusting-suspension (cough, Adaptive M Suspension, cough) is the GPS memory raise / lower the front for steeper driveways and such. Where I live there are a ton of business driveways that have surprisingly steep dips into / out of the road due to pave-over jobs, drainage gutters, poor maintenance, whatever. I've seen compact SUVs like the Mazda CX5 and similar sizes scrape if they go straight in / out. And there are visible gouges in the road - repeatedly, even after fresh maintenance - from other vehicles scraping.

edit - disclaimer, I'm aware that the components of the current adaptive suspension may not have enough travel to do this, just saying it'd be nice to see things go that route as adaptive aero comes into vogue.
