Also be warned that the A8 is known to have shuddering problems due to torque converter/fluid failures. Mine is in the shop right now for that issue... Imo the one to get is the 2017 if you can. You get a few small upgrades from 2016 (and more models), and it's the 50th anniversary year. All 2017s have a little commemorative piece at the bottom of the steering wheel, and you can buy/use accessories (i.e. floormats) with the Fifty logo without the guilt/shame of mismatching them. It's an incredible car with a great community and fantastic aftermarket. Best of luck!

There's no replacement for displacement. It reminds me of my 69 Mustang Mach 1 with a 351C V-8 (I put that in from a '71 junkyard car). It had a new paint job, hood locks, ram air scoop, four headlights and fastback. Primitive by comparison to modern cars, but it was the best car I have ever had when it came to smiles and good feelings per mile. Everywhere I went people asked me about my Mustang with a big smile on their face. I showed a picture of it to my son decades later and he got the biggest smile on his face I have ever seen.

Ev vehicles won't replace traditional cars until all manufacturers use the same plug n play batteries for easy swap so everyone can go to a "station" (as we do now) and get "feuled" up or a new battery is engineered that can store more power and can be charged extremely fast without damaging the unit. When this happens, all the ev vehicles made today will become obsolete.

Very soon Corvette will be releasing an 800+ HP range model. By 2025 or so GM has stated that they will come out with/ release a hybrid gas/electric Corvette that's 1000 HP.

Im glad i got my 2022 2SS with the 1LE because they removed a lot of options for the 2023 models. Also, 40+ miles per gallon? Does he never encounter traffic?! Im over here in NYC and I get AT MOST...14 miles a gallon ON A GOOD day, which are rare, 90% of the time its 11 to 12 😬I only really get to enjoy the power late at night. When I do go on long trips my MPG raises A LOT and I barely make a dent in the gas.

@@pmscalisi Sir, I am an analytical chemist. I might be smart, obviously that would be for others to judge. You have to understand that a 50 year old car has electrical wiring problems,etc. These are not very economical to address. So I traded off my problems, for a more powerful vehicle, with zero issues. Please note that my 67 Camaro was a real live car at one time. Driven in Ohio Salt belt winters. If my 67 was on par with updated wiring etc. I wouldn't have traded it off. Maybe you have a better understanding now of why I did what I did. Maybe you would have done a similar thing if it were your decision, knowing some of the facts that went into why I did what I did.

I bought my 2017 camaro 1ss convertible in Jan of 2017. The car was only 1 month old and as a rental already had 22,000 miles on it. I paid $26,000. for the car. I was 71 years old when I got it and drove it for over 7 years. I was78 when I sold it for $25,000. It was the best car and most FUN. My son made me sell it. I miss the beast and the "red leather interior'' and "midnight gray" exterior, , topdown blast, and it's wonderful V8's exhausts 'pops & growles'. .
