There are 5 main C8 \u2018Flaws\u2019 people complain about.
\nBut are they flaws, or planned features?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\n<\/p>

\"C8<\/p>\n

A YouTuber, going by the handle of Engineering Explained, does a weekly video explaining very technical automotive items in a way us normal people can understand.<\/p>\n

The videos are done by Jason Fenske, a mechanical engineer from North Carolina State University. This week, he decided to take on the C8 Corvette and the 5 most notable supposed flaws people are talking about.<\/p>\n

Jason explains these supposed flaws are actually some of the most impressive attributes of the C8. For instance, the old-school pushrod design of the V8 cuts down on moving parts and therefore complexity, which is crucial given the relatively affordable price of the C8. Pushrod V8s are also very compact, and as an aside, the \u2018LT2\u2019 V8\u2019s midship layout means it can have a taller intake manifold, increasing power.<\/p>\n

We hope you find the above video entertaining and educational.<\/p>\n

What Mike likes about this Corvette:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis particular 1963 Corvette, with factory air conditioning, is stunning and correctly restored to the highest level! I knew the previous owner very well who restored it.<\/p>\n

Achieving the Duntov Award is proof enough to the testament of his dedication to the hobby.<\/p>\n

The car has a great history and factory paperwork proving its rare options.\u00a0 He was a true Corvette collector and amassed an amazing collection of every year from 1953-1967!!\u00a0 I have to say though the 1963 Daytona blue split window has to be the great American icon!\u201d<\/p>\n

Check out our great financing options.<\/p>\n

Happy Throttling!<\/p>\n

\"1963<\/p>\n

Whoever ordered this Split Window Coupe from the St. Louis factory back in the day was more concerned with comfort than all-out, tire melting performance.\u00a0 Because he checked just about every box that had anything to do with the ease of driving it.\u00a0 First on the list was the optional 327\/300hp engine mated up to a Powerglide automatic transmission.\u00a0 Then, of course, the aforementioned (and very rare with only 278 units built) air conditioning,\u00a0 Followed by power brakes, power steering, power windows, tinted glass, AM\/FM radio and whitewall tires.<\/p>\n

\"1963<\/p>\n

The car has been meticulously and correctly frame-off restored with no expense spared!\u00a0 Its Daytona Blue exterior gleams in the sun!\u00a0 And it\u2019s just a great a driver!\u00a0 This was the ultimate Corvette cruiser back in \u201963.<\/p>\n

Price: $205,000!<\/strong><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n
