I 100% agree and when polling friends and family on DH vs C8 a common answer was Im not old enough to own a corvette. There was some research that was posted on a C8 forum about the average age of corvette owners. The C8 did bring the average age down.
Agree to disagree on the Fugly part. I would also say I dont think ford done enough to make the DH look different from the GT. My opinion the DH SC hood should have been introduced on the DH or at least something more with the hood.
I was asking myself the exact same question. As others have pointed out I went with the DH because of the manual and the sound. Drive both the C8 and DH back to back. Looks C8 all day for me but wanted to enjoy the manual. I got the premium, HP non Recaro seats. Luggage for touring was a small...
Man I feel like I got a great deal on mine. Sticker I think was 78 and I got them down to 68 brand new. That did include the 3.5 rebate that Ford was giving out though. That was down near Cincy and I live just north of Dayton. For me I enjoy the hunt for a great deal and I never go in...
I saw your build post and read it the other day. I have the 700A handling package with the 6 speed. I won't go nearly as far as you have. I have been back and forth on if I even want to SC mine. I have the money to pay for it and had every intention of doing it at Lebanon Ford after...
Not sure where you live but I was looking at the C8 and Troy Chevrolet in Ohio has 10.5k off before you walk in the door. You can place an order and they will do the same.
I agree the DCT is fast and very different from the 10R80. I drove a used GT 500 from the last gen and a new C8 stingray. I was leaning towards C8 while my wife preferred the mustang on the test drives. What sold me on the mustang was the manual and sounded better against the C8. If the DH...
In my opinion the DH hits the sweet spot in the S650 line up. Going DH gets you the tremic for manuals and other small upgrades that add up. Price is close when I built out a GT S650, but much cheaper than the DH SC. While I know the SC does have more suspension upgrades and other things the...
Never dealt with it and understand your frustration. Manual transmissions themselves are not overly complicated so you should be fine and hope you will be.
With that spec I'm not sure to many are going to be used for sale. Value drops to quickly on them so people that wanted that spec probably are not wanting to sell yet. I wanted the HP and manual without the Recaro seats and was difficult to find. Didn't want to spend the money I did on the...
Bummed out. I found some hoods I like but they are carbon fiber. Anyone know of a good painter near Dayton Ohio that can paint them or is that a bad idea? If I can paint them after the paint hardens can I ceramic coat it?
