Interesting video. I was told my C7 max size was 6’ 3”, so interesting others are even taller in the comments. I figured the C8 was the same (obviously not). Another way I get in my C7 and my now C8 (when I can’t open the door all the way when an ahole parks too close to your car), is the go in headfirst with hands supporting you on the seat and then sliding your legs under the steering wheel. I don’t know with you being 6’ 5” would work. By the way you have a resemblance to Ringo Starr!

Why do these cars weigh more than a 1957 Chevy?

At 5'5", 140 lbs. and a 30-inch waist, I fit in easily. Great Hendrix top!!

I’ve had 4 z06 corvettes. 2 hardtops (c6 and c7 coupes) and 2 convertibles (c7 and c8). I can definitely speak to this issue and agree that the only downside is not seeing your engine. Other than that, all of the advantages are with the convertible. I think the only other reason is if you want to get the best performance on the track and you get the most hard core track spec with the z07 and carbon wheels.

Am 193cm I have a Mustang GT 2018 no problem at all not tested corvette would be intresting and also please do another video where you try to get in other sportscars like Porsche, Ferarri and Lamborgine see how it works outs yea that a surgestion for next video how tall are you in cm taller then me it also depends little bit how tall the legs and body is. Thank You

What is your height in cm?

Honestly it depends on your legs and torso if you 6ft5 or 6ft6. SOME GUYS HAVE LONG LEGS AND SOME LONGER TORSOS..IT makes a difference

Trading in my Porsche and getting a HTC c8. I don’t want to keep the engine bay clean or lose the trunk space for my golf clubs

Have you seen the engine in a Porsche 911 or a cayman? No! What about most Maclarens? Neither. So if you have the extra money get the convertible 👍

nice😍😍😍😍

Convertible really does look better.

Thanks for this video. I'm just shy of 6'4 and I've been wondering if the C8 would work for me.

Awesome spec bro! Dream ride!!!👏

You CAN see the clear engine cover on the HTC... just put the unit in "service mode." Click on the Unlock button, two times, then click on the Top Down to remove the engine cover (and the hard top remains closed over the cockpit)!

You should replace the steering wheel with a carbon fiber steering wheel.

Our 2023 HTC is perfect.

We have owned a number of Corvettes - and are waiting for our 2024 order (that MIGHT end up being a 2025 at this rate). The reason we are staying with the coupe is we make 1-3 month trips across the USA and Canada and need all the luggage space possible. Previously we didn't just take clothing but camping gear (in case you couldn't get lodging or wanted to stay in remote area). Now, with the mid-engine design we are going to have to forgo the camping gear and can no longer reach back to grab a drink from the cooler. Otherwise, I would LOVE the convertible because it is just too much trouble to remove our top and NO PLACE to put it if we are going cross county packed full. Because of how we use our Corvette, we wish they had added the adaptive cruise control to the 2024 or 2025 Stingray. : (

If you like having the top down at all, then HTC is worth it. Plus you don't have to clean the engine bay all the time. I know they say the engine bay gets dirty pretty fast.

I’m 6’5 and around 200 pounds….the issue I have is with the bolstered seats, they are tight and cut into my back/shoulders

i love the user😂 best show ever

i’m 5 foot 10. fits great 😂.

Best lookin c8 I've seen

That blue is gorgeous

wish you didn't need to hold a button for 15s to get the top open..

what year is this?

what year is yours? and also did that black strip come with your option or did u add that after you purchased the car?

Thank you for your video it helping a lot im 6.2 and now im pretty much sure it will be ok

Is the paint metallic ?

Rapid Blue is the only color for me, have you ever thought about putting carbon fiber on the center console arm rest to help with oil skin stains and wear from your right forearm, I find myself placing my arm on center console when driving, I picked up my 3LZ Z06/Z07 in 2023, stealth packages,stage 2 carbon fiber. If I decide to add any carbon fiber, it would really only be the center arm console. Hit me back and let me know what you think.

How do you fit in the coupe iv heard there less headroom in the coupe

Ya Alloh aku pengen banget mobil ini

Never liked convertibles until this corvette, hell, never really cared or liked corvettes until this one. Think for the first time ever, a convertible looks sharper than the coupe. Also what I noticed when looking at coupes, once you get past looking that the engine cover (which imo is kinda lame to look at anyways) only other thing you'll notice is a little bit of the exhaust with huge sensors on both sides. Only reason to really get the coupe outside of price, is weight if you're mainly going to be tracking it. Otherwise, the convertible adds 130 pounds, and still track capable all day

You can't see the engine when you are driving anyway, so who really cares?

Bro you look so cramped in there from my perspective

We’re about to buy the same color. Thanks for ur video, really helps us visualise the exact color scheme.

Dude , you described pulling over in the pouring rain and taking the top off. I knew what you meant 😊

“Narcles’? 😂

You don't haft to crank the car up to do that it will do that without cranking it up

I'm 6'5" and my weight moves between 220-240. Inseam 35". I had three C-7s. All manual trans. I had plenty of leg room and adequate head room. When I sat in the C-8 my head would hit the roof pillar if I leaned back. I think the big issue is tall guys with thick legs and thick butt. That raises you up in the seat and impacts your head room. Tall skinny guys don't sit as high due to their skinny butt.

I took that $7K and got the Z51 package instead

Nice! You need the CF door speaker covers. I bought them and love em. The silver ruins the look.

Coupe looks better when tops are up. HTC is for the Win when tops are down. I’m only trying to drive the car when it’s nice out and top has to be down. I went with the htc all the way. It’s cool to see motor but not a deal breaker for me. And it’s not a crazy v12 motor or something it’s only a lil v8 lol

Dude your pouring rain story was weird. You stated that one would take the top off in rain🤣🤣🤣

Few questions bro. What % tints did you go? Is the tiny back windshield the same % as the door windows? Is your front windshield tinted, if so what %? How much did the full PPF cost and how much did the ceramic interior cost? Would you recommend PPFing the whole car or just the front? It's been a year since you've had the car does it still look shiny like that everyday?

They make a seat that would give you more head and leg room

i really like the stance on your car, did you lower it?

For me the HYC looks more exotic with the top up or down compared to the coup. And the engine isn’t much to look at anyways.

Did you mean take it from the truck and latch it when it’s raining? Not unlatch it and carry it to the trunk when raining?

One day I will get this car✌️

Looks amazing can't wait to do the exact same to my c8
