Thanks Dan for the post.


I bet they are great driving cars. Especially day to day just driving I would think it would feel very lite on her feet. Should be a very sweet handling, power, stopping, and yet luxury car. Put in a great sound system and I would love to drive coast to coast.

Dan I watched on Youtube the Jay Leno Garage with the Z51 optioned pre production demo with the chief engineer. WOW I think I want to at least go drive one.


Maybe it is time for me and the wife to own one. I also like Yellow or the clean white look. Sure black and red nice too. Man what are car.


I mean $ for $ it is a fantastic value. You can make the exhaust loud or more quiet. How cool...

Thanks for posting, Dan. An enjoyable "real world" review. The most surprising thing to me is how good it looks in a light blue, which I normally find ugly on all cars.

I’m back and for myself...still looks like a R8 with edges to me. Would still go for a F430 2nd hand for the same money... however, its a nice car!

Wow, an F430 depreciates that much, sad ............

Thanks Dan! I think that's my favorite C8 video to-date.
