Every time I see one, usually 1-2 a day here, it's just another car. I don't see people getting excited about them on the streets like they do for a G8X or 911 GT3 for example. The Z06 will certainly be a monster and sound amazing. I wonder if Chevy can sort out the flat plane crank issues that plagued the GT350 for Ford assuming it has similar ones.
There's C8s everywhere near me. I probably see 6-7 a day, if not more. I agree, its just another car.

I had someone taking pictures (or maybe it was a video) of my car leaving the gas station the other day. I also have people weaving around to get next to me. Maybe that will change over the lifespan of the G8X as they become more common.
I agree, people go out of their way to see my G80, it's sort of crazy. Maybe it's the color, style, who knows. There are only 2 others I know of in my immediate area so perhaps they plays a role. I also live in an area with a lot of car enthusiasts, a guy in a new Escalade made an effort to pull next to me, roll down his window, and give a thumbs up.
