     I also think it looks quite decent aesthetically.
     It would look great next to a Pantera in the garage.

       on the rear end styling, which as it has been said by many people,
       looks too much like a Camaro.

     The transaxle that they are using is the way of the future and it

       shifts faster than anyone could ever shift a manual. Time on the
       street will determine how good it is, because I bet these cars will
       be showing up on quite a few drag strips.

     The rear trunk actually has enough room to pack for a trip,

       however the Pantera still has more trunk capacity! I wonder if the
       new C8 rear trunk will get things as hot as a Pantera trunk on a
   hot
       summer day? I gave up on putting anything that will melt or explode
       back there in my Pantera years ago.

     Over all the new C8 looks like a winner and should sell very

       well. They have been kicking this mid engine design around for
   years
       and I was actually surprised when they finally produced the car.
