Places to see C8 on display close to Ottawa

[OttawaKev]

Hey Folks

I Hope this finds you all well.

I was wondering if anyone has some dates and locations where I could go see some C8s within 4 hours of Ottawa, ONT.

I would like to go see both styles as on one review I heard that on the Spyder the "Cells" create a crazy blind spot and I wanted to check this out and if would be something that could steer me away from choosing this model.

Cheers,

Kevin

Unless there has been some recent change, GM have no plans to do presentation events in Canada as they are doing in the US.

So the first cars you will see in Canada will be customer cars (like mine), in the spring of 2020.

Even if you travelled to a US dealer on the day they were having a show, you're only going to see a coupe.

I'm guessing it will be 2021 before you can walk into a Corvette dealer and see cars on the floor.

I also think the CIAS will be the first chance to see the C8 in Canada. I remember it was the first time I saw the C7.

Tuesday December 10th, open to the public 11am-7pm. I'll be the middle aged bald guy. Hang on, I should be more specific. With glasses. Nope. Probably won't help...

I'm still on the fence wether to go, or not.
I emailed them the other day to confirm...and got this:
Hi Gary,

Going tomorrow, spend the night at Salvatore's, dinner. Keep my wife happy

 

[OttawaKev]

Im on duty that day.

Could you folks take lots of pics please! Also if you get to sit in a convertible could you please check if the Nacelle creates a big blind spot when doing a shoulder check, this has been one of the big questions for me since seeing the Vert Vette.

Cheers,

Kevin

Pic's yes. Convertible is out of my control. I'm worried about blind spots in the coupe too. Good thing I'm a "mirror driver"...

[OttawaKev]
