Two new colors for the 2021 C8’s eh? I bet that was a years worth of “brain drain” for someone on the Corvette Team!
Come on guys….seriously, that’s it? What is needed here is “something special” (but attached to every Base C8 Corvette every year new year of production) to denote a quick visible ident of that particular car’s model year.
Really quite simple, Corvette’s in the past have had certain items added or subtracted to denote each year…except for a few years where nothing really was done, and that, to me wasn’t a good thing. Point in question…if a 2020 Corvette and 2021 Corvette were parked side by side, and say in basic white, maybe with a red interior (base or Z-51) could you tell the difference between them as you walked up to them both? Even “close up”…could you differentiate any differences between them?
