"Those cars are just kind of for showing off to other people, where this is enough of a car to show off to yourself. This is everything you need to impress yourself" That has to be the BEST assessment of a car I've ever heard. Thank you for an enjoyable review.
@@RRr-yl8zr I’ve had my Chevy SS (Holden Commodore) since new and although I don’t turn to look at it every single time I get out I still turn to look at it a heck of a lot even now.
"Money cannot buy happiness, but you can buy a Corvette and that's kinda like happiness." The other fella is right, I've never seen her smile so much in a vid.
The seats are finished in the shade of "I don't have pets or children". That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. Even got half a mouthful of coffee over my monitor. Brilliant!!!!🤣🤣🤣
I love my 2003 C5 Convertible Corvette. Drove it 1750 miles none stop, except for food and fuel, cause it is So Much Fun! Mine is a 5.7 litre 6 speed and gets over 30 miles to the gallon hiway.
Been looking forward to this review ever since the car made a cameo appearance in another video. Much like the Acura NSX you reviewed a couple years ago, I don’t know why anyone would buy an alleged “supercar” costing 2, 3, or 4 times more if the point is performance and not status. Awesome and highly entertaining review. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
@ I personally like the overall looks of the NSX better except perhaps the taillights on the Vette. You can see more of the engine in the Acura, but of course it isn’t a convertible, so there’s that. I’m also a bit of a Corvette traditionalist so I prefer the last long hood front engine generation over the mid-engine body, but like Sarah, I’m getting used to it. Cheers!
I'm a fan of german cars (porsche, BMW), things with a manual (mercededs before 2011) but seeing Sarah and knowing her levels of competence, I think I need to start looking at a corvette for my next ride.
Would have been so funny if you had worn white New Balance shoes, cargo shorts, a vette emblasened polo, and sunglasses during this review. Gotta love an AGE troop doing great things!
I couldn’t agree more about the tremendous boost in supercar credibility the switch from front to mid-engine gives the ‘Vette! The handling rating of 9.9 is a signal that this $100k Chevy is equal to $250k-$350k exotics.
Sarah...you are a Corvette girl!!! You have been for a long time!!!! I don't think the penguins have told you!!!! I've been here since the beginning and I just want to say I'm proud of you and all that you've accomplished! You worked your ass off. Much love and Happy New Year!!!!
Amazing what GM can do when they feel like it! I agree the controversy around the car is pretty much dead and now it's well loved. I really would love a base model with a manual though.
That has got to be your longerest car review yet! But, that doesn't matter. The look on your face, the joy you had talking about it but mosy of all driving it said it all. The smile didnt leave your face!
Having the engine on to open and close the convertible top is not a design flaw. There are several motors operating the top. The motors need adequate power to operate, and you want your battery and charging system to stay functioning. Can you imagine how many people would drain their batteries if they could operate their top without the car running. Signed, Convertible Mustang owner and Chanel subscriber. Thanks for your work and great reviews, you do.
Sarah, how cool that you got a Corvette to review. As another commentor suggested, you've established yourself as a credible and valued reviewer. My favorite is still the bolstering test. Always hilarious. Keep up the great work.
Sarah, I'm not a big GM fan. But the Corvette is great! Bang for the buck, Corvette does it again. I love how your reviews are critical as well as rewarding. Your reviews are freaking entertaining too!😅👍🏁
Great Review! That aggressive break test really shows how fast that thing stops! You should do a review of your top 5 or 10 favorite cars of 2024 you reviewed!
Sarah does such great reviews, so informative, so enthusiastic, so entertaining, concise yet we know everything. And yes, so stylish, colour coordinated for the car. Hey manufacturers press teams, make sure Sarah top of your 'chosen few' for reviews 👏👏👏👍🙂
Thanks for showing my car at the 18:17 minute mark, same except an 88' with Z06 wheels. I love that you're getting the opportunity to give the beans to an amazing American sports car. You can't beat the smile it puts on your face.😄😍😍
Never seen you before, but the pacing and the technical knowledge mixed in scratches my adhd brain just right. As a 3lt z51 owner I think you did it justice.
Thank you Sarah. Corvettes have always been outta my price point, but to see an American machine put Europe on notice is just awesome. Dont forget your Christmas present!!
Super great review Sarah!! I own a 2021 Stingray and absolutely love it! You hit upon all the things to love about the car after owning a C6 and a C7, this is the one! Thank you for all your videos, and I do mean ALL!!
Your review style is definitely one of the best out there. Realistic approach, comprehensive, and I really love the undercarriage breakdowns. Thanks 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧 🐧🐧🐧🐧
As an owner of fifteen Corvettes since 1972, currently owning a 2024, your presentation is a perfect expression of the pride when cruising in the latest rendition of America's sports car. Pride in ownership is pride in the American life style, testimonial why so many immigrants arrive every year to obtain a piece of the dream. Thank you for a great presentation of the American Sports Car!
I smiled with fond memory when you said the engine had to be running to open and close the top. Time was that the 60's and 70's Vettes and Z-28s with hidden lights needed the engine vacuum to open and close the light covers. New is old.❤ PS: I am already anticipating your 2026 Corvette Zora beans test!
Great review. I work at one of the largest Corvette dealerships in the Country (Ciocca Corvette) and I can comment on a few points for you. The PDR "Performance Data Recorder" camera is located in the headliner above the rear view mirror location, not accessible from the interior button. The interior button shows the front facing curb view cameras. You CAN in fact operate the convertible top without the engine running. You can put the top down with the key fob, and you are correct in that the engine/ACC mode needs to be on for the top to go up. It's a great spec too, Hysteria Purple with the Sky Cool Gray interior. Keep up the great job!

"The seats are shaded in 'I don't have pets or children.'" LOL
Or blue jeans. 👍
@@triedproven9908 i used to call it, im so old i only wear khakis, when i sold cars.
That would mean a lot of Tesla owners have (or used to have) white seats. Nice to have choices though.
The seats would look just fine with my Dog. White hair everywhere in my Dark Horse.
Freaking funny ! Whether you have a nice car, or you have children, but never both 🤣
A measure of Sarah's success is getting cars like this in to test. Bravo!
You better subscribe!
What a way to start the year
I don't know about that. All the car review channels have started dropping their vids on this car.
And... Give it "the Beans" 🤣
And not a GMA T.33
"Those cars are just kind of for showing off to other people, where this is enough of a car to show off to yourself. This is everything you need to impress yourself" That has to be the BEST assessment of a car I've ever heard. Thank you for an enjoyable review.
That’s why I drive what I do is because I like it
🫡
I'm a first time Corvette C6 owner/driver. If you don't turn around to look every time you walk away from your vehicle, then you bought the wrong car!
@@ultra4e if you turn around and look at your car every time that you drive it... Your car is still very new to you. 😅😉
@@RRr-yl8zr I’ve had my Chevy SS (Holden Commodore) since new and although I don’t turn to look at it every single time I get out I still turn to look at it a heck of a lot even now.
Sarah and a Corvette? I never clicked on a video so fast in my life.
Sarah in a leather skirt and a Corvette - perfect combo!
@@spearce133there was a corvette??
@@paulr9449 I assume so. It's in the title. :)
@@paulr9449 zactly what I was thinking.
… should be in store for a most excellent brake test.
I don't think I have ever seen Sarah smile so much during a car review.
yeah, that immovable grin looked almost evil - but in a very understandable and relatable way.....
I bet that smile took a long time to fade away!
I think the closest to this was the Caddy Blackwing 😂
It’s a great car, loved mine.
@@pmscalisi NSX could be one too.
Wow, Sarah is getting more and more top-tier cars lately - a testament to the top-tier quality of her reviews.
His reviews.
DEI dies on Monday.
Facts matter.
These are consistently the best car reviews I have seen
The smile on your face says it all!
Baguettes and PopTarts should be the standard units for measuring storage volume in the industry.
Agreed. But we need to replace the "golf club" measurement with something a little bit more Sarah-esque.
Nice Tommy Boy reference. I also liked how Sarah sounded a little southern when saying 'Bowling Green Kentucky'.
"You hang on to a car this cherry."
🤣 I noticed that also
3:15 - The "Tommy Boy" reference. Love it! 😅
Who's ass?
That vette would be so much fun to drive! Thank you Sarah for the review and for giving it "The Beans"
Probably the best review by a real driver not a design engineer I have seen on this car. Outstanding.
Sarah reviewing not-SUVs is THE BEST! Thank you, Sarah!!!!
I've been watching you for several years, and I think this is the most fun I've ever seen you have.
I love the way your hair moves during the braking test giving an excellent visual indication the intensity.
G-meter!
It's like a shampoo advert.
"Now here's the science part."
I always imagined a side view hair angle measurement.😄
This car suit you so well sarah ❤❤❤❤
Yeah. Certainly better than all those posing 'professional' ladies seen in somebody else's supercars in Monaco.
The Nsx suits her more.
"Money cannot buy happiness, but you can buy a Corvette and that's kinda like happiness." The other fella is right, I've never seen her smile so much in a vid.
Seen HIM smile.
Facts matter.
A rare treat for a dreary Sunday afternoon, a fresh Sarah video (and an awesome car)
Sarah does the best job of letting us know what's under the car. 😊
As always, your reviews are excellent and fair assessments.
That smile tells us everything during the road test..I grew up as a teenager in the 80's. Always wanted a vette from that era.
I love Sarah’s unit of measures like “a couple of boxes of pop tarts”. Hilarious.
Your face after accelerating. This is enough 😂😂
The seats are finished in the shade of "I don't have pets or children". That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. Even got half a mouthful of coffee over my monitor. Brilliant!!!!🤣🤣🤣

Pointing out the Short long arm with a Short hand long arm...Classic😂
lol
Well spotted & articulated @MugatuJag!
almost a classic short arm inspection............. LOL
Nothing like seeing something grow on Sarah.
😮 It's like a street legal luxury race car that perfectly fits Sarah...

Awesome and highly entertaining review. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
The answer to why is quite simple. There are actually 2.
1. Presumed status
2. Personal preference
Do you think this is worth it? I mean the looks alone is nice
@ I personally like the overall looks of the NSX better except perhaps the taillights on the Vette. You can see more of the engine in the Acura, but of course it isn’t a convertible, so there’s that. I’m also a bit of a Corvette traditionalist so I prefer the last long hood front engine generation over the mid-engine body, but like Sarah, I’m getting used to it. Cheers!
It’s always enjoyable to watch Sarah review a drivers car. The look of satisfaction is worth the ticket price.
I'm a fan of german cars (porsche, BMW), things with a manual (mercededs before 2011) but seeing Sarah and knowing her levels of competence, I think I need to start looking at a corvette for my next ride.
I used to like oil leaks too.
The purple is cool. You’re right Sarah
Would have been so funny if you had worn white New Balance shoes, cargo shorts, a vette emblasened polo, and sunglasses during this review. Gotta love an AGE troop doing great things!
Gotta be denim shorts. And don't forget the manila folder with all the paperwork about how rare it is. LOL
Savagegeese did something like this a few years ago. Showed a C5 Vette owner in a boat captain’s hat yelling into his flip phone!
Audio was completely fine with the rear window down, you had so much fun driving this, I loved to see you be so happy.
Gotta say, that look of contentment sitting behind the wheel, taking those corners... chef's kiss, Sarah!
Does anyone think the chef's kiss gets over used?
I couldn’t agree more about the tremendous boost in supercar credibility the switch from front to mid-engine gives the ‘Vette! The handling rating of 9.9 is a signal that this $100k Chevy is equal to $250k-$350k exotics.
The Bee flew out again luckily 🐝😅👍 neat car too !!🙂
6:40 I LOLed at "in the shade of I don't have pets or children." I love it. Hahaha
As much as loved this review your coordinated outfit to the car was chef's kiss. Happy new year!!
Sarah...you are a Corvette girl!!! You have been for a long time!!!! I don't think the penguins have told you!!!! I've been here since the beginning and I just want to say I'm proud of you and all that you've accomplished! You worked your ass off. Much love and Happy New Year!!!!

As a Corvette owner and fan of you. This is my favorite 🤩
I'm just imagining the looks Sarah gets driving this beast. Awesome!
Excellent review! This is my all-time favorite American made car, since I was a wee little lad!

These Corvettes are very fun machines. Thankyou for the fun mixture of hard details alongside the more whimsical impressions you provide.
Sarah has reached another level of car journalism! Congratulations on this great video!
Congrats!!!! Really happy to see you grow and hit these kinds of milestones. You are one of my favorite content creators.
Thank you Sarah. Corvettes have always been outta my price point, but to see an American machine put Europe on notice is just awesome. Dont forget your Christmas present!!
Nice to see you review a car that suits you and your personality its beautiful 😍 and stylish just like you ❤
0:18 I really, really like that music.
Super great review Sarah!! I own a 2021 Stingray and absolutely love it! You hit upon all the things to love about the car after owning a C6 and a C7, this is the one! Thank you for all your videos, and I do mean ALL!!
Absolutely LOVE your reviews and how thorough you are… as always funny yet informative!!🤙
Thanks!
This and the 1963 split window are the only Corvettes I would ever own. Thanks for the review! (Still needs to offer a manual transmission, though).
I have a 19 ZO6 manual, 7 speed, active Rev match, and it’s a track monster. 650/650 Hp/torque. You might change your mind.
2 things...
1) as a C8 owner, I approve
2) I found my new favorite car reviewer
Oh! ! Oh!❤❤ love the sweetness of the notes at start and run up! ❤
You’re awesome. Loved the Tommy Boy reference!
Yes, and I love your videos, both the reviews a your fabulous restorations! I loved your restoring your grandmas truck! Had to add this from Norway!
That purple is siiiiiiiiiiiick.
Seeing you smile 😊Sarah during your ride eval made my day. ❤
Nice! Thank you for sharing this review! Fun to see high end rigs like this!
Great to see this. Thanks Sarah. Small point: 3:25 the transmission torque units were reversed. 800 Nm = 590 ft-lbs
Love the color on this ! 👍. It has a lot of beans to give 😁…….awesome review Sarah
Very well presented view. Lots of useful information.
Thank you Chevrolet for providing this Corvette to Sarah for review.
Great job! Your reviews are so informative and you make so many great points.
Your review style is definitely one of the best out there. Realistic approach, comprehensive, and I really love the undercarriage breakdowns. Thanks 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧 🐧🐧🐧🐧
Great review as always. 3:33 Transmission torque spec Nm lb⋅ft are the wrong way around
I was just gonna mention that.

An awesome review of an absolute modern classic
Finally, a real car review. Hope you can get a Z06 soon and check the beans in that! Also, seeing a Cadillac CT5V Blackwing would be nice too.
You put a lot of love into making this video! 😃👍
"The seats are in a shade of 'You don't have pets or children.'" 😂🤩
The front trunk and all body panels are SMC fiberglass, not plastic, FYI.
8:03 the look on Sarah's face says it all
exactly 20 minutes of smiles. 😁
My favorite review of this car yet.
Hot reviewer and a Corvette! Magic. Very competent and comprehensive review! Great job Sarah.
2 thumbs up for the Tommy Boy reference...😎
Now that was a car review! My kind of car! My kind of review, and my kind of car reviewer! Love you Sarah!
Sweet machine.
Great review Sarah.

The custom Sarah "measuring units" are histerical!!!
This is the most comprehensive and relevant review of the C8 Z51 yet. Awesome! Sarah, you absolutely nailed it. 'Bravo' indeed!!!
Great job as always Sarah!

You need to try an ERay. I have one and AWD makes it extremely quick. The Frunk lid, roof panel is Carbon Fiber.
My brother has a Z51 coupe. Amazing car.
