CORRECTION: apologies, the Stingray wheels on this show car are NOT new for 2025, it was just my first time seeing them in person. However, the 10-spoke Z06 wheels are new for 2025 (as are both of the ZR1 wheels, naturally).
The Corvette C8 has really uprooted the supersportscar echelon ever since it was unveiled in 2019, It truly is a gift that keeps on giving, Hands down, and all major respects paid, the Americans have a world beater bar none with their Corvettes ! 🇺🇸👍🏻
I absolutely loved your insightful reviews on every eye-catching variant of the Corvette C8. Your detailed analysis was so convincing that I can genuinely see myself owning one someday. If I were to purchase one today, I'd opt for the base Stingray with the 3LT package. For me, around 500 horsepower is the sweet spot-it offers exhilarating performance without venturing into the extreme speeds of hypercars. It's the perfect balance that keeps the driving experience thrilling yet manageable.
@@AN-jx4js keep an eye out for a video in the next couple of weeks. I got to ride in a 570 wheel horsepower Stingray that had heads, cam, ported intake, and a full exhaust. It was wild!
I don't care what anyone says or thinks. Corvettes are as awesome as the foreign exotics. if I were a billionaire I would have Vettes sitting along side of my Ferrari, Lambo, Bentley and Rolls Royce collections.
@@curtpark4316No actually they're more reliable because they build enough of these cars to work out the bugs and Kinks. They don't build enough Ferraris to work out the bugs and Kinks of each model. The only thing is they do use solid carbon fiber bodies on a lot of their models and you know they have a better flush fitment for the wheels and tires and suspension height for Ferraris but you know as far as like the actual fit and finish yes they do have a little bit nicer fit and finish but no Ferraris are not built as well as Corvette because Corvette they build them as a daily driver. Corvettes and Porsche 911s are built and high enough numbers to work out the bugs and I like that I don't like when they artificially inflate the price by making three or four hundred cars and then Jack in the price of a half a million dollars. It's not fair to the consumer when the car is not really worth that much. That's why I would never own a Ferrari or Lamborghini or anything like that. They're overpriced
ZR1 electric front motor AWD would be out of this world crazy. I know chevy can do it but we all know theyre teasing us with the less desirable ones first. 😂
YES! I’LL TAKE ONE OF EACH! FANTASTIC COLLECTION ALL UNDER ONE ROOF. I NEED AN ALLOCATION FOR THE ERAY, ZO6 AND ZR1! I’m Lucky to have a beautiful 2022 2LT Red Mist HTC. Only one thing wrong, I live in PA and have a “Driving Season”from April or May until October or November. The DOT puts anti-skid materials, salt and little stones on the road and I refuse to mess up my undercarriage and paint with that Crap on the roads!
What’s funny is the base level Corvette is a complete gangster. That car punches way above its weight limit. It seriously is the perfect daily driver. I typically buy z06’s And who knows I’ll probably buy the e ray next But the stingray is an excellent car.
I was there yesterday. Spent a lot of time getting in an out of the cars and trying to find seat adjustments while not spending too much time at any one time as there were short lines of people and kids who wanted to pretend they could ever afford one. All were coupes with the roof panel off. I am not tall nor heavy and it was difficult getting in an out. You should have the seat all the way back to get in and out. No grab bar on the windshield post. The comp seats are quite snug and bottom bolsters not adjustable for width. I asked about the 1064 HP number why was it not rounded to 1065 or 1060 assuming that more than one car would be tested for the rating...no one knew of the four staff members. Maybe the ratings are from one car. One person said that production number was not limited but based on demand. The other staff members did not know. I would go for the ZR1 in the colors of the displayed Z06 that was Sebring Orange with Habenero orange interior...I love that orange paint from the C7 and the Habenero interior works well. I was told that the ZR1 would be delivered starting this February.
We heard February as well (I think Rick Conti mentioned that). And I believe the 1,064 number is effectively where they tapped out when the team went for testing. The real goal was to beat the Dodge Demon 170, which they more than accomplished.
Holy shit Batman. You guys see where the starter is. Last time gm did this was on the North Star. Don’t worry. It only pays 1.0 hr to change it probably. 🤣 😮
I'm excited to see them race when the ZR1 comes out. I suspect the Z is going to be easier to launch repeatedly, but talented drivers will be required regardless!
you know something i've always wondered and i'd rather comment it here and get a response later is, why performance cars don't have turbine shaped rims so that as they rotate they can suck in air and that can be used as a brake cooling mechanism? someone explain why this isn't a thing. maybe it is idk.
My guess is that it adds too much turbulence which isn’t good for aerodynamics, it also adds spinning resistance to each tires. Another thing it just sucks in warm dirty air from the pavement which will eventually gunk up the cars braking and suspension parts.

@@David-jh8mp no so the spinning motion of the wheels itself is the turbine, just change the shape of the rims to suck in air. Effectively cooling the brakes passively no?
Just think... these dealers were tacking 100K on the Demon 170s before learning they had engine issues. Just think what dealers will mark these cars up to. They will be in the same stratosphere of the Ford GTD 300K+ EASY
Just think… You’ve bought cars at as low a price below MSRP as possible for decades, and you only hate the other side of supply and demand pricing because of hypocritical double standards and complete ignorance compounded by stupidity. If you’ve EVER negotiated for a discount on a car purchase, you don’t validly get to say anything about high prices because there are more buyers than product.
Total BS. I got my 2LZ z06 this summer, it turns heads and people come up to ask about the car all the time when out in public. Its by far the most exotic looking corvette and the performance on tap trounces many of those other supercar brands.
At the end of the recent camaro production run they charging between 60 and a hundred thousand dollars per unit and they were making them so freaking cheap so people stopped buying them again. They got up to $75,000 for 650 horsepower with cheap plastic interior. They were configured with the low output engine with a nice interior or what the high output engine with the cheep interior. Or suspension upgrades with a cheap sound system there was no desirable configuration
I like the car but the wheels and tires would have to go in the garbage. I would have to go get a pair of forgedlite tf5 wheels with the correct offset because those Wheels and Tires Factory do not fit that car I bet there's 2 in of wheel Gap between the wheel and the fender. The wheels and tires do not fit that car and they need to be flushed all the way around
We all know the amazing power the ZR1 will have, but c'mon, lets face it if Chevrolet really wanted to really really want to destroy lambo and ferrari they should've made it an stunning body too much is going on an it just doesn't work. They did an amazing job with the engine 👏 bravo
You must not have seen the Lamborghini Temerario?? Definitely not what you would call a stunning body!!!…New Ferrari F80?? ..Ferrari Daytona SP3?? Not exactly Ferrari or Lamborghini’s best design work, So I think the ZR1 will be just fine for the fraction of the cost of those Super Cars and Hyper Cars!! Whether you like it not Chevrolet is winning with the C8 line up!
Styling disaster....Chevrolet..bless thier hearts... could have given us the Corvette GTP ...... in street trim...but we got a FIERO...with too many wings scoops and spoilers....with way to much HP for a car this ugly go to 7/11 and the gym ... Hello KTM Xbow gtr...Ferrarai SF 90
The wide body Corvettes look great....you might prefer particular Ferraris, Lamborghinis or McLarens at several times the price but the cars are certainly not ugly. Yes, I like the SF 90.

Yeah, this whole generation is ridiculously good from top to bottom (which has been true for many generations, but still). Cheers.
Will spec EXACTLY THE same as my C8Z07.
Good luck, I hope you don't have to wait too long!
remember all interiors of all C8 are the same, the Cup2R tires that the Z06 uses lasts one track weekend (most due to the weight)
@@JerryCecco great points!

The C8 team/engineers needs a massive bonus payday. The ZO6 and ZR1 dripping with sex all over.
If I had 200,000 to spend on a car show and the freak wouldn’t be for a Corvette

Okay peewee, you made it clear that a Corvette wouldn't be what you would purchase. Now run along and find another comment to troll.
