This is my first Corvette, so at first I didn't know about the wave but would always wave back if someone waved. Once I realized about the wave- I now wave at any Corvette or anything that looks like a Corvette, or at anyone who waves first or gives me the thumbs up- happens a lot up here where there aren't many sports cars.

I’m sorry but in my opinion (such as it is) the C8 is not a Corvette. I feel they should have named it Zora after the man who dreamed of the mid engine Corvette decades ago. They should continue with a front engine design for true Corvettes.. front engine Vettes I can spot easily C8s look too much like something out of Italy! Just my opinion…

The C8 is more of a Corvette than than the Mustang Mach-E is a Mustang! Just wait until the C8 becomes even less of a Corvette when it loses its internal combustion engine!

Mustang is out of date imo
Totally agree. I'd like to join a club; but, both are quite a ways away with our terrible traffic here in the GVA. ( Richmond & Langley) I live on the Northshore - so, would love to hook up with other corvette owners to go on cruises: to Squamish, Pemberton or the back road up past Pemberton to the Okanogan.

Well, I am certainly a C8 owner that has saved the wave. That's not to say I may miss a few simply from not seeing the car until too late. But I joined the Corvette Club of Ontario and have had a blast as a first time vette owner.

When I had a Mustang I waved to them, when I had a Challenger I waved to them. Yes I wave to the Corvette, if I see them lol...

This past week I passed 2 corvettes- a C4 and C6 I think. I waved like crazy, but no reciprocation. Both driven by young men, probably in their 20s. So the wave issue may be a generational thing rather than C8 vs the world of Corvette

It has perhaps become a time where differences have become noticeable between those who merely own a corvette and those who also had to earn it. It’s too bad for those who also feel they are being painted with the same brush … (jmo)
Still looking for a returned C8 wave - maybe this year …
It is my understanding that flashing one’s lights can now earn a citation from a cop with an agenda/quota. Have not tested that of course … therefore, whether returned or not, just sticking to the thumbs-up, the wave or the Hawaiian hang-loose.

They'll learn
Saw 4 (a record in one day) Vettes the other weekend and they all waved including a C8
Mind you, they can't miss my wave as it is fully extended out of the car and they almost have to swerve to not get slapped in the face. LOL
I have missed a few waves myself in the past though as well.

A friend bought a new C7 in 2020 and took me for a ride around town. We met an older Vette, who waved. Friend waved back and mentioned that it was an inherited thing. So I do it too. Very little effort to make a friendly gesture.
