Our 2023 HTC has no problem with wind noise and we can hear the performance exhaust with the Top either up or down by rolling down the rear window rain or shine. No engine mechanical noise, loss of trunk space with the top down, and no time spent cleaning the 2 rear windows and visible engine compartment on the coupe. Rather drive than clean.
I agree 100% on the benefits you mentioned and just to add to it I think the HTC looks very sharp and exotic with the roof down. The Coupe just looks so so with the roof off. And you cant beat the convenience of the HTC as well. But at the same time cost is one of the major factors for many (not all) to not go with the HTC.
@@JayJafarthat would be great. It’s $400 and I think the windows down is a much more common use case. If I see someone in a coupe riding top off windows up that’s just weird.
Thanks for the great review on this product. Just got one ordered for my new C8 and can't wait to give it a try. Just so others know, you can get the mounting hardware/latches in black or red
Well guess what. , my 2LT was just delivered. . And I like this video and product. . Good info. But let me say. I have this beautiful rapid blue C8 in the garage. And I can’t even figure out how to program the garage door opener. The downside of having one delivered is just that. The rest is even more overwhelming for me. I did go around the block once and I hit a total 5 Miles on the odometer. 🤣🤣🤣🤣Neighbors are asking did I get it. 🤷♂️
Haha I did make some videos on some settings and customizations etc. make sure to check out Congrats on your new C8 love the rapid blue. Be safe and I enjoy the fantastic car
Taking the roof off definitely changes the sound inside the cabin Obviously doesn’t actually change the sound from the exhaust but you hear it more raw and louder
She is the boss lol. We are old school where she would agree to anything I would "want" but our relation is built on respect both ways. She respects what I may want and I in turn do the same. She never actually has not allowed me to take the roof, its just that I don't because she doesn't prefer it due to her hair. That being said, you know the drill happy wife happy life 🤣And we both find happiness in respecting each other and their wishes.
Just Imagine a little harder and consider maybe speed is not everything? About the interior thats subjective. And every tiny bit on a BMW is an added option In the end to each their own
I have owned 5 BMWs in the last 15 years, from a 328 to an X7 (which we still have). We have loved them all (well the 3 was a bit small). The 2024 Stingray 3LT is the first sports car in my 63 years of life, and a gift from my oldest son. The Corvette has always been, in my opinion, the best looking American production sports car made, and the new C8 is the cream of the crop.
@@andrewflores212 neither does a c8 corvette tf? Lmao. I see an old man in one every single day. Literally. At first it was cool when they first came out and everyone was like "OH LOOK A FERRARI, oh shih nvm just that new corvette" now everyone knows it's just an old man corvette and no one cares.

Gotone about 2 months ago it is amazing works great,wouldn't drive my car with the top out without this product.
Thats awesome, I have some more mods coming in hoping to see great results from those as well
Stay tuned.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the honest and transparent test!
Always!
You’re welcome
Thanks for watching :)
Jay do a test with windows down. I rarely put windows up with top off.
I will see what I can do and do the same test
Maybe make a short video about it
Stay tuned. Thanks for the feedback

@@jamesh1641 most ppl have their windows up..
@@messedup350not a chance.
I am impressed with your use of technology for measuring wind turbulence. Good n knowledgeable addition on RUclips.
Thank you very much!
You never show in video how it looks on the car. You only show installation.
You can see how it looks @4:30 but I agree with you I should have added some more close ups and distant shots out in the sunlight as well.
Thanks for the great review on this product. Just got one ordered for my new C8 and can't wait to give it a try. Just so others know, you can get the mounting hardware/latches in black or red
Thank you, Glad it was helpful! Yeap, I forgot to mention the color options, I will pin your comment
One of the best informative videos out there.
Ps your ouch at the end was something
North East Ohio roads for you :P
Thank you Jay, loved the video, great job!!
Thank you Rance.
Impressive addition

I like it.

Yeah dude, put the windows down with the top is down... lol

what mod did you do to your hair, it did move at all, lol.
HPO did a review a while back.
Lmao, Hair Spray 🤣
HPO's review is why I bought mine
Good Job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
So the wind noise also happens with the convertible as well or is it not as bad with the convertible??
Yes wind noise is inevitable in any roofless car
But yes the convertible is better in this regard compared to the Coupe
@@JayJafar in ur opinion would it be worth buying this if I own the convertible?
This specific product is not compatible with the convertible unfortunately.
Does it make any difference on exhaust sound?
Taking the roof off definitely changes the sound inside the cabin
Obviously doesn’t actually change the sound from the exhaust but you hear it more raw and louder
Please refrain the urge to letting us know about whether your wife needs to give you permission 😂

You get the same sound noise when you have the top on and only one window down…
More from one ear than the other haha
I agree with you somewhat but its just not same
$400? I'm good.
Every coupe owner needs this option, an htc! Who cares if you can’t show off your motor. That’s just Ferrari useless bs.
100% the HTC in roof down configuration just looks 🤌🏻
For me it was the cost and I’m sure for most others too that we didn’t get the htc
price is too high..
You don’t need that, just put your windows down 🤦♂️
In my experience on the C8 coupe it only increases the turbulence and noise.
@@JayJafar I agree completely...and the wind buffeting is a lot when you are driving 60mph+
talk too much. boring video
No reason imaginable to get this over a m3 or m4 comp xdrive. Smokes this from a dig and roll and has way more premium luxury interior and tech

@@TheMoonfam5 why cuz it looks like a wanna be ferrari?
