Fixed roof coupe?

I have seen no evidence of a fixed-roof coupe as U1Quattro indicates. From what I can tell, there is only a targa-top available (as there was with the C7), and there is speculation that a convertible will be revealed at some point down the line. Am I missing something here? Aab254 (talk) 16:21, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just read about it. I apologise for the error.U¹ _quattro TALK 16:28, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Was in development for 67 years

According to the Chevrolet website https://www.chevrolet.com/upcoming-vehicles/next-generation-corvette the C8 was in development for 67 years so there should be a development section mentioning the long development and reasons why it took so long and why Chevrolet redesigned the Corvette many times in the 67 year period as it would appear to be the longest development time for a vehicle ever 71.254.11.98 (talk) 20:57, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't the C8. It was the mid engine Corvette concept. The article mentions that after a series of CERV prototypes, this came into being. That is enough. U¹ _quattro TALK 04:50, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Description of transmission

The C8 comes with a dual-clutch transmission, which the article describes as an automatic transmission. While it's true that the car doesn't have a clutch pedal on the floor, in most other respects the transmission is more closely related to a single-clutch manual transmission than to an automatic transmission with a torque converter. (The Dual-clutch transmission article spells this distinction out.) I think describing a dual-clutch transmission as "automatic" is common, but it's at best misleading, and I would like to edit this article to clarify this, but I don't want to invest a bunch of effort into edits that will be reverted before the ink is dry.
