You know what I like about Raiti’s Rides? I have never seen him do a sponsorship. Thanks man
This is a wonderful car! I love the white and black contrast, the carbon fibre and the WHITE stitch. Chev really nailed it!
I’m so glad that you are loving this one!
Love the sound the E-Ray makes. It reminds me of a supercharged V8 almost.
Now that is an amazing car. I'm loving that Stealth Mode. People would lose their minds seeing a Corvette driving by and being completely silent.
Nahh I’m pretty sure vette fans would not like that. I mean I just don’t understand this direction and especially for this vehicle and its heritage it’s just nonsensical. They’re using the vettes names to target certain kinds of people to bring them over but this ain’t no vette or at least this is a vette that cares nothing about where it came from. So, basically the bastard.
However, Joe can almost make me like any ride because of his fantastic presentation and review of vehicles. The man just has a passion for this that makes every car presentation fun and exciting. Great job as always Joe but I ain’t feeling it.
Lmao no they wouldn't. They'd be disappointed with the lack of sound..
Nailed it! 👏👏👏
Move forwards not staying with burning gas to move forwards that's so old.
Chevy did their homework. Truly an amazing and well crafted car. A true classic brand new out of the box. Never see this car losing one dollar from original purchase price. A masterful machine. Well done General Motors. Excellent .
I have an unhealthy addiction to the sounds of the Z06 and GT350r, but my GOODNESS does this E-ray sound SO good. The V8 sound combined with the Tron sfx is actually amazing. Really cool.
I know how you feel about the sound.
Damnnnn that sound with the e-motor sound so good thats the type of sound that you would hear only in movies like batman, james bond, I-robot, transformers, & some futuristic movies i always thought that would be nice to have cars out here that actually sound like that & now we have it chevy match that sound perfect for sure💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I thought it was strictly an EV. I stand corrected.
Thanks Joe ! 👍
I’m glad I can bring the right details.
Riptide Blue is an epic color! Love the E-Ray!
Stellantis take note ..Give us a Hybrid Hemi !. But an amazing engineering by GM
Still waiting for them to pay back the 5 billion dollars they were given for the last bailout. They use that money and open shop in China🙄
I think this is the best vette yet! AWD, stealth mode to leave the neighborhood, mega fast 0-60, wide body of the ZO6 - this would be my pick. Great grand tourer!
What a nice follow up video after Watching Jay Leno and his interview with the chief engineer this morning.
23:55 joe looks like he is about to cry from pure joy haha. Love the videos! Keep them coming!
NOW it's a "FUN Friday!" Been waiting for this one. Joe keeps on BRINGING IT!!! 🔥🔥👍
Thanks for riding shot gun with me!
@@RaitisRides Portland, JAMAICA in the Building!!!
Yup, this is #1 on my wish list. I love the stealth mode personally. I know the enthusiasts love the loud sound of the engine roaring but it's aggravating to me (i'm a MI girl, heard plenty of sound growing up haha) and I don't want my neighbors to know of my coming and goings 😄
Ditto and the all wheel 🛞 drive
This is an amazing car. It's 10 times better than it's European rivals.
Can't wait till i get my E-ray!!!
Love the combo of the e-motor as a boost for a V8! Much better than a turbo or supercharger.
That car sounds amazing.. almost like it has a supercharger whine.. sick !
This is so very true!
Yes!!!! This 2024Corvette E-Ray is awesome. God Bless America. Drive the USA in your Chevrolet. 🏁🏁🏁
I am not an EV fan in any capacity and I thought the Eray was going to be an abomination. I have to say I may have been wrong on this. Love the sound and color combinations. Well done!
Yes, I will buy new 24' Chevy Corvette E-Ray.
I like the passive-aggressive nature of the stealth mode.
Between the Stingray and the Z06, this is the SWEET SPOT!
I typically have no complaints about your reviews. This time, ... as much as you told us it's all about "that sound", .. I could hardly find a single pull where we could just "hear" that sound. Your comments and understandable excitement yelps overrode the aural experience! .. Aside from that, ... Great Job!
11:42
Surely the blue seatbelts are worth an extra 5 kWh's worth of charge.
Seriously though,I could start a Playlist with you documenting the whole history of the Corvette,from the last of the C7s to the present day.
Keep getting up and keep up the great work!
Blue looks good, I prefer black with. This color scheme, but I can understand why they did blue for the color coordination, beautiful interior all the way
All I can afford at this point Raiti is the Denver Colorado Turkey Leg 🍗.😆. Pheww! This car is expensive
Hot car! Riptide Blue reminds me of Jetstream Blue they used on the C6 (08-11). Looks incredible in the sunlight. E-Ray looks better than the "base" Stingray with the Z06 body and color matched trim. The sound is just amazing - its part roar of an angry Tiger combined with the whine of a jet fighter - just amazing. Gonna have to watch this over and over again!
Great review, thanks, Joe! I'm glad to hear you use the term "Performance Hybrid", as that's what I've been calling it too when describing to people what the ERay is all about. I'll have one of my own very soon!
lol I was thinking “ he must mean 180…because my ford fusion tops out at 160”
I heard him say 118 as well. This car has him all out of sorts ! Still love him
@@rickphillips3288 he did say 118. I was like huh???
Top speed 183 MPH. I think he meant 118 thru the qtr mile
Raiti, Your style, your enthusiasm, your comments keep me hooked on your reviews Brother! I really appreciate you dude!
Changing the spark plugs on this would sure be a fun Saturday.😅
Man this is great but that Z06 sound is impossible to resist, so very excited for the Zora! And, it looks like someones a future C8 customer lol
The best reviews as always Raiti’s Rides💪💪
I’m so glad that o can bring it your way!
Definitely has a unique sound. Thanks for the review Joe
You are so very welcome
One that,thanks be to the gods,is still uniquely Corvette.
I love this ticket magnet!!!
I have never seen you enjoy reviewing a car more than this E-Ray Corvette. Is this your favorite car? Truly enjoyed the enthusiasm. Made me want to run out and get one
Joe. Excellent, excellent review!! Loved all your enthusiasm. It is a great car for sure.. Thanks..
I like this E-RAY...on throttle..love the stealth mode..😊..Riptide Blue 💙 😀Thanks Lori and Joe for this Corvette GT segment
Thanks for being so supportive John!
Looks amazing! The price though…too rich for my budget.
I know how you feel!
This is Michael. Great review, one of your best. Yeah this car is absolutely amazing, can't wait to get one. Great looks, great acceleration, great breaking, great handling, what more could you ask for? Oh yeah, and the sound is fantastic- C8 power + jet engine.
What can I say...other than... Wow! I love the RipTide Blue color, too. Such a great car!
It really pops in the sun David!
I love your camera for On Throttle!!!! You should use it for all of your videos. Great Camara angle. And I've been waiting for that for so long!! 😮💨 That ERay is Soo awesome 😎👍🏼 💪🏽 Let's Go Chevy‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Livin in Minnesota, I hope I can get this car and drive in throughout the winter
I think it will!
I wish they made a wide body stingray with the Z51 package.
If they ever decide on a Grand Sport....
Great job in my dream Corvette E-Ray Joe.
I'll bet it's fun. Too much money though. I like the Idea the other commenter had about a Z51 Stingray Grand Sport/Z06 body. Put a belt driven supercharger on it and call it great!
Huh .. wait … Top speed 118mph?! I know it’s 2:am (my time) right now so I’m half asleep but clearly I dozed off & missed something 🤣😂🤣 .. good thing I stayed till the end!!
Raiti, nice job. What an absolutely beautiful awesome car, and the ability to leave without making a sound is another advantage.👏👏👏🍻
Hate hybrid systems!! Once the warranty pasts in those 4 or 5 years are gonna cost you a lot of money for updates!! Paying almost , says $90K for a couple of years until the hybrid system needs an updated, then you're gonna start crying or looking for a new one.
Why do you see fewer hybrid vehicles of 2011 or 2015 in the streets due to updates they need? Once u go to dealerships, they said it's cost you say forget it get new one!! Then come the cycle of spending more money for waste. Great review rai anyway!!
What are you talking about? lol
Moron it's got a 8 year warranty
Joe, you friken kill me with your laugh. How does Lori contain herself? Lori, as always, your camera shots are friken amazing 👏 😍. As always, guys your both beat in the best in the business. I absolutely love you both.
Thank you so much!
14:21 so I can use this on the golf course?! Sweet
Yes you can.
Fun review. Thank you. Eray is awesome!
One of the greatest cars ever made that middle class people can afford when the dealerships stop being crooks
Really vettes have not been affordable for over 25plus years. For the average joe. I know because I’ve had four of them.
Great Video Joe. yoooo make it so exciting,,,,I drove a 2022 corvette and did not like the rear visibliuty and the cramped low position to exit the car....... How is the rear visibility in this new Eray ??????
Raiti rides: "107,000 msrp"
Dealer ship: "200,000 msrp"
There are approx. 100 Chevrolet dealers that sell Corvettes at MSRP. The top 3 are McMulkin, Ciocca, and Criswell. $104,900 MSRP vice $107
BEAUTIFUL RIDE & IT SOUNDS EPIC!!
I am so glad that you really like this one.
Excellent review!!! Astonishingly Advanced Engineering! If i still lived in Jersey i would be on the list, but since i'm in Florida I'll stick with the Zo6 and it's Plump Hip's. As far as the Price, the C8 in All trim's and Spec's is an Absolute Bargain! Many people are paying a Hundred Grand and More for Mopar's! The interior is Far more Welcoming than a P , F , L , Mc, etc. etc. . Anyone who hasn't experienced a C8 will be Shocked ,the Look, the Sound,the Shift's, "Although I Would like a 3rd Pedal as an option " , it Truly is an Amazing Vehicle. 3,4,+ ×time's Priced car's can't Equal this car!
Love you're Enthusiasm. ☮!
Was that you at McDonald's the other day when you pulled up in the purp C8??!! If so, awesome bro 💪🏽 😎
@@HOVA2195 Rapid blue 🤘☮✌
I like to call the steering wheel shape a "squircle"
it´s a very good American Super Sports Car 👍
I do think they need carbon flash metallic to break up all that blue.
U can option it to not be color match
@@MonicaHolly143 Absolutely true. That's the way I ordered mine, and it doesn't even cost any extra.
Hey Joe I watched many of your reviews and I always picked to watch your videos over anyone else on RUclips, because most of us will agree. You have a special talent for this. Keep up the good work. One thing I did notice I watched you reviewing C8 and 70th edition but on E-Ray when you say here we go on a THROTTLE you have a different kind of face expression then on another reviews. Is really E-ray worth a wait or is that amazing?? I'm in of process of ordering my first C8 for the first time ever but I'm wondering : Should I just order E-ray and wait God knows how long. I can get C8 in about 3 months or wait for E-ray. Please corvette veterans help with your advices. What should I do??? And also Joe I would like your input since you test drove E-ray. Thank you sir in advance.
That was a fun trip!
This thing is awesome. I have one on the way at 3000 status and can not wait!
Congrats!
5 miles on pure EV are you kidding me. Come on auto makers be more realistic. I’m still hang with my 07 Shelby GT500 until gasoline exists. Nice review like always 👍🥂
The hybrid sound is interesting. I'm excited to hear what it does on the twin-turbo'd ZO6 engine with the Zora.
It's freaking AWESOME!
You can say that one again!
That sounds sooooo damn good man everytime i hear it i break out a smile!!!
I sense a few Z06 orders being cancelled! I had my doubts, but this might of just overtaken the Carrera S on my wish list!
I’ve been waiting for this review 🎉
Joe blue is my favorite color this is gorgeous excellent review
AWD mid engine corvette? Yes please
Well done as always.
I just sold my 2015 Z07 original owner as 3 yrs with C8 made 07 obsolete. C8 Elkhart Lake Blue 3LT all Aero improved with girotech brakes & Borla exhaust. My C8Z06 riptide arrives in 2 months. Eray should be the rain car! but nothing beats Z06 precision, handling& dynamic 8,600 rom engine. I wonder if the Eray battery will last a 30 minute twisty race track session? I am sure Z06 is more performance aggressive
I'm intrigue by the Eray but keeping the C8 ZO6 and C7 ZO6. We sold the C8 Stingray to make room for the C8 ZO6 arrival.
The sound is awesome. I like it, it sounds like the starship enterprise…lol
What a rocket. The Corvette team always does wonders with what they have.
The eray performs well but i can't see someone in market not picking the more hardcore z06. If you want comfort the regular stingray will be better.
Hagerty got 0-60 in 2.4 and 10.5 in the quarter. I forget the trap speed.
I put a deposit down for this last year, but I took it back, and just bought a C7 Z06 in
Velocity Yellow Tintcoat with a 7-speed stick, for half the price.
If I were to get a C8, this is the one. The upcoming ZR1 SHOULD add this eAWD to the Z06 engine
I want one. All it takes is money!! Thanks Joe. 🙏🇺🇸🙏
Damn you had me nervous as Hell on those twisties!! 😂
Thanks for letting me take you for a little spin!
Absolutely amazing!!
Truly amazing ! AWD vette and hybrid ? Who’d of thought?! ❤
corvettes always look cool
You know have good taste!
Lori thx for this video
you bet!
15:23 is the 0-60, man it sounds good!
Yes sir!
It sounds good on paper! However, do the pros outweigh the cons? My worries about long-term ownership of too many electronics cause complications.
At least the main engine can be rebuilt... the e-motor and batteries will be easier to replace when they die.
Another awesome video, Mr Joe! 🚙 🇺🇸 🔌
When is the corvette zr1 coming out Joe thank you
Joe what a video this corvette is a beast
Physical buttons are the best thing. 10:55
You are so very right about that!
When this gets a cam omg perfect
Reminds me of my Prius!
When you figure the cost per smile it is a bargain. They hit the nail on the head with an electric hammer. Nice review.
Yo might be right!
Chevrolet lives on in 2024! Woo-hoo!
Wife: “where you going honey?” Husband: “Uh…just out to the garage”….engage stealth mode and out for a spin 😂
The best review!
Thanks for saying that!
Love the ‘Vette! Great sound! I wanna get that car in the future. Love the Corvette and the Dodge Challenger!
If I can modify the exhaust to have all four pipes together boy I’m would wish to have this all day
This car would work a lot better for me! All season tires, not as stiff as ZO6, but still get the heavy duty brakes and 345s on the back!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspective at this one.
E-Raiti's Rides...I hope the day will never come for you to rename the channel like that. "On voltage! Here we go!" But jokes aside it's a great car.
