Featured My C8 HTC

[Sparro]

So the day finally came for me yesterday and it was a long time coming. I've been following the C8 for years with spy shots and rumours. I put my deposit down way before the official reveal.. when most people started hounding the dealers for allocation.
Yesterday my Torch Red 2LT HTC arrived at my dealer around 8am and I picked it up at 2:30pm. The car is great, fit and finish are top notch! Everyone that's seen my car loves it and I've earned the name Magnum PI.... LOL. Nothing but thumbs up and my drive home yesterday. I'm following proper break-in procedures so I've kept it under 4000 RPMs.... but I can't wait to drop the hammer. This thing wants to go. Top up or top down... its great. Here's a few pics that we took yesterday.

Excellent!! Now you need to swap out those rims and tires.

 

[Sparro]

^^^ That is on my "to do list."

 

[Murray20c8]

Can't wait to see it with the new rims. I bet it will look even more spectacular!

A beautiful one ! Can`t wait for mine. Keep the rims and get a spoiler. I`m doing this with mine.

Very nice. That front plate mounting box thingy ... well that was the first thing I removed once I got my car home and zip tied the plate to the grill. I wish Ontario didn't have them.

Damn that is one sexy beast....and no Sparro I don’t mean you! Congratulations!

 

[CamsC8]

Can't wait to see it!

Sparro rockin' the Sperry's. How come they call you Magnum? You don't seem to have much of a package...

For those yet to come, don't let them put the front plate mount on. It scratches the paint. Look what sparro did. He bent the plate. The holes line up at the top of the plate.

These new plates are so flimsy you don't have to bend the plate at all...

 

[Kanuck]

Very very NICE !!!

 

[NOSOUPFORU]

Yes wheels for sure! Awesome ride. Congrats !!

Congrats Sparrow! That is one sweet ride. I hope to get a chance to see that in person if you are going to go to that GM Oshawa meet up. I think I can squeeze it in before my flight. Again congrats. Great colour combo and yes very Magnum ish. You just need to grow the porn stash.

Congrats on a gorgeous machine! It makes me even more anxious for mine, hopefully here in the next few weeks. Glad to hear your "fit and finish" is 100% and perhaps that bodes well for everyone if they've worked out the kinks. As for the rims, up to you of course but an option would be to powder coat them black if you want to save some dough and not worry about an extra set of rims hanging around. Black would contrast well with the yellow brake calipers. Enjoy!

I did not put mine on. Passed many PO both ways. No ticket yet.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

I'm not risking it...

maybe I should say you don't have to put a crease in the plate...

 

[Murray20c8]

maybe I should say you don't have to put a crease in the plate...

When (if) I get around to it I'll just use some standoffs and longer screws. Meanwhile the front plate is in the FRUNt trunK

Lol good one lol
