We are just weeks away from wrapping up 2023 production of the eighth-generation Corvette and are on schedule to nearly surpass the 1979 one-year production record of 53,807 Stingrays. As we approach this milestone for the beloved C8, I thought it would be interesting to show you some of the things C8 owners do not like about their Corvette.

And the top complaints may surprise you.

The question was recently posed by a member of a popular eighth-generation Facebook page, and with nearly 200 enthusiasts joining in, the results are telling. The parameters set by the author Justin were simple. He asked the Facebook group with over 73,000 members to list the flaws, features, (or anything for that matter), that they dislike about their C8.

Before we get to the results (with a TOTAL of 54 complaints!) that I logged from every post, here is Justin’s list.
